No way. Anytime I see anything like this I just assume it is cgi. Maybe this is the best compliment to the artist

I think there's already raised layers of paint where the waves are and when he drags the white paint across it catches on the wave tips.

Not tryna take away from it, it's still incredibly skillful and a cool technique.

Yup! Common, old technique. You can see Bob Ross was taught this technique as well, especially with the snowy mountain scenes

Definitely not something this artist invented though. Cool to watch but it's not really anything new to seascape painting.
