today's seascape uses beautiful tropical colours to paint ocean waves
i'm mixing cobalt blue a little phthalo blue and white for the sky
then using a mop brush i'm gently adding fluffy clouds
just use a light touch and dust the clouds onto the canvas
then i'm using some blue again to add the shadows for the clouds
a few highlights are added next i'm using a small round brush for this
when the sky is completely dry we can move the masking tape upwards to preserve our horizon line
then we can add more phthalo blue to make a gorgeous rich blue colour for the sea
i'm blending some of my sky color into the sea too i'm using a blender brush but you could also
use a flat brush if you don't have a blender the next part might seem a little bit daunting
but just dive in and mark out roughly where you'd like your waves to be
don't worry if it's not perfect we can adjust the waves as we go you'll see throughout the painting
that i'm constantly correcting and adjusting the wave by adding more layers until i'm happy with it
i'm using different shades of blue to get a nice curve or roll to the wave persevere
just keep going until you're happy if you feel like you're really struggling with one area
i'd advise you just to leave it move on to another section for a while and then when it's
completely dry go back and give it another try most paintings do go through an ugly stage where
they look quite rough just keep adding layers keep painting and it will start to look better
i've added a little phthalo green to my sand color
and i'm adding this to the closer smaller waves in the foreground
now we can come back with a smaller brush and focus
on different areas of the wave and add more detail
and here are some other videos that i hope you like to watch next see you next time
