Incoming Tide, Scarboro, Maine is a 1883 watercolor by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a rocky shore where waves crash hard against the land. The water is choppy, with white foam flying everywhere. The sky is pale and cloudy, and a small rocky outcrop juts into the sea. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show the movement of the water and wind. The colors are mostly muted, but the waves stand out with their bright blue and white. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists use this medium to capture light and movement.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
