The lines further away are thinner, smaller. The lines closer to the sand are longer & thicker. Simply load the side edge of the knife with white and scrape on white horizontal lines in the water. Use the palette knife to paint horizontal lines of pure titanium white in the water. If you do not have a palette knife, you can use a tiny round brush or even a flat brush. To do the lines in the water, I used a palette knife (#1). Just a tiny bit!īlend this burnt umber into the unbleached titanium so that it is slightly darker on the bottom. Go almost all the way down with this unbleached titanium then add a little bit of burnt umber into it. Then paint the sand from the curved line to the ground with the color unbleached titanium.
Paint The SandĬompletely rinse your 3/4 Wash Brush and pat it dry. Your water should esssentially get lighter as it reaches the sand line. Continue to paint down to your sand line, blending the white with the rest of the aqua. Then load your brush in white (without rinsing). The dark turquoise will blend with the aqua. Paint almost all the way to your sand line. Next load your brush in bright aqua green (without rinsing the turquoise off). Go about a quarter of an inch down with this phthalo turquoise.
*If you don’t have phthalo turquoise, mix a little bit of phthalo blue with bright aqua green or use any dark turquoise color you have on hand. Use the tip of your brush to get the horizontal line. Use your 3/4 Wash Brush to paint a *phthalo turquoise line just under the horizon line.

If you want you can apply the masking tape above the horizon line to get a crisp line for the water, however, you may risk pulling off some of the paint with the tape. If necessary, you may need to add a little more light blue permanent but for the most part it should be mostly white. Your blue should be very light, almost white by the time you get to the horizon. Keep adding more titanium white and paint all the way to the bottom of the horizon line. Then, without rinsing the light blue off your brush, load it in titanium white.īlend this titanium white with the blue so the color in the sky gets gradually lighter as you work your way down to the horizon line. Paint left and right horizontal strokes about a third of the way down the sky. Start at the top with light blue permanent. Use a 3/4” Wash Brush, Light Blue Permanent and Titanium White to paint the sky. I measured mine from the top of the canvas to the horizon line – approximately nine inches. Use masking tape to mark your horizon line.
I recommend tracing the lighthouse after the sky, ocean and ground is painted. If you are working on an 11×14 canvas, this traceable prints on two sheets of standard size computer paper that you will tape together.
