Leisa O'Brien is a passionate, self-taught artist, focusing her subject matter on what surrounds her, particularly the beach. Her passion is to be able to capture a moment in life, whether it be a person, a clear wave on a sunny day, or a combination of colours in a second's glance.

In this episode, Leisa shows Graeme how she uses acrylics and oils to create her masterful works. A master at painting the sea and waves. Using mainly acrylic paints, with the occasional oils, Leisa likes to get her vision onto canvas as soon as possible, with the first few layers being a fervent frenzy, followed by several layers of refined, loving detail.
