100 Days of Watercolor Oceans: A Complete Seascape Challenge

1. Welcome to 100 Days of Oceans: No Hi. Welcome to 100 days of Oceans in watercolor. Yes, you heard it right. Hundred days. Before we begin, you might be wondering why oceans, why water for an entire 100 days challenge. The answer is simple. Water is one of the most fascinating and unpredictable subject an artist can paint. No two waves are ever the same. The ocean can be calm and peaceful one moment and wild and dramatic the next. It reflects the sky, the weather, light, even our emotions. Every time you paint it, it tells a different story. Within this single subject, there are endless possibilities. We can paint gentle waves, calming waves, crashing waves, glowing sunsets over the horizon and colorful boats, moody seas, quiet beach mornings. Really, the ocean is so unpredictable, we will never run out of ideas to paint. I chose this subject because it gives us the perfect opportunity to practice one of the most important watercolor skills. It is to learning to control water while also learning to let it go. More you understand water, the more confident you will become, not just in painting oceans, but also painting in watercolor as a whole. Throughout these hundred days, we will begin with the fundamentals, simple ocean waves and water movement. Then little by little, we will build on those skills, introducing horizons, skies, reflections, boats, different lighting conditions, and a variety of ocean modes. Every lesson is designed to build naturally on the previous one. So by the end of the challenge, you will be amazed at how much you have grown. Hi, I'm Sukrutha, watercolor artist and teacher. Over the years, I have created so many challenge based classes here on Skillshare, but this is by far the biggest and most exciting project I have ever shared. My goal isn't just for you to complete hundred paintings. It's for you to develop confidence, consistency, and deeper understanding of watercolor. Some days your painting might surprise you. Some days it won't go as planned, and that's perfectly normal because learning watercolor, just like Ocean itself isn't always predictable. So grab your brushes, your paints, and your paper. Let's dive into this journey together. One ocean, one wave, one painting at a time. I will see you in Devon. 2. Your Journey Starts Here (Class Overview): Now that you know what this challenge is all about, let's take a quick look at how this class is going to work. This challenge begins on July 1 and will continue over the course of 100 days. To make this journey enjoyable and sustainable, we will be taking every Sunday off. Think of these Sundays as your catch up day as a chance to complete any projects you have missed, practice your favorite techniques again, or simply take a well deserved break before starting a new week. Let me give you a quick overview of the curriculum. I have designed this challenge very thoughtfully so that every lesson builds on the previous one. Instead of jumping into complex paintings right away, we will gradually develop our skills one step at a time. The first five days dedicated to fundamentals of oceans. The next five days will introduce you to beautiful sunset ocean scenes. After that, we will spend another five days painting a variety of ocean sunsets, beach I'm in waves with horizons. The next five days are all about energy movement as we paint crashing waves. Once we are comfortable with the ocean itself, we will begin adding our first subjects during the following five days. The tiny boats on the horizon with their reflections. The next five days, we'll take those ideas a step further by combining boats with colorful sunset skies. After building all these fundamental skills, we will move on to one of the biggest sections of this challenge, 30 days dedicated to entirely boats and their reflections. Finally, we'll bring everything together in our advanced seascapes where we will paint dramatic lighthouses, moody beaches, crashing waves, and so on. By the end of this hundred days, my goal is not just for you to have 100 beautiful paintings. I want you to understand why each painting works. I want you to be able to look at an ocean reference or even imagine one yourself and confidently paint it from scratch to finish. Whether it's a peaceful beach, a colorful sunset, a dramatic wave or a boat with beautiful reflections, you will have the knowledge and confidence to create your own ocean paintings. I'm really excited to take this journey with you if you are ready. We will move on to the next lesson where we will go over all the art supplies we'll need for this challenge. I will see you there. 3. Gather Your Supplies: Let's quickly go over all the art supplies I'll be using throughout this hundred days class. First, let's talk about the paper. I will be using Fabriano artist co, 300 GSM, 100% cotton, cold pressed paper. I usually buy my paper in large rolls because it's more economical, and then I cut it into smaller sheets. The size I'll be using for this class is roughly six point sorry, six into 9 " or about 16 into 23 centimeters. Normally, I cut the sheets myself using a ruler or a craft knife, but this time, I had them professionally cut at a nearby stationery store. Of course, if you're buying rows, you can easily cut them yourself at home as well. Moving on to the brushes, I kept things really simple. I used silver black velvet round brushes in sizes ten, six, and two for almost every painting. For larger washers, I used Princeton wash Brush, and also I used a Princeton Heritage series round brush size eight. For a palette, I simply used a ceramic palette, which is my personal favorite because it makes color mixing so much easier. As for the paints, I used a mix of professional watercolor brands, including Sennelar white knights, a brand called QR, Winsor and Newton and Aquaton. I will always mention the exact colors we will be using right before each project begins, so you don't have to worry about remembering them now. Finally, there are just a few extra supplies you will need some masking tape to create clean white borders around your paintings, a water container, paper towels to remove excess water or pigment from your brushes whenever needed. And that is everything. These are all the supplies I'll be using throughout the class. Don't worry if you don't have the exact same brands. I always believe it's the techniques that matter most, and you can absolutely follow along with whatever quality materials you already have. Next lesson, we will begin our very first class project where we will paint a beautiful gentle wave scene together. I will see you there. 4. Day 1 - Gentle Ocean Waves : Hey, guys. Welcome to Class Project one. So we are keeping it very simple today because the first few days, if you have seen the curriculum, the first few days would be all about painting the basics like ocean waves. So it may be simple, but you need this, you know, to move ahead and paint the next modules of the curriculum. So if you haven't seen it, I have already sent out a mail regarding the curriculum. So please check it. And yeah, I will begin by taking the colors. So this is Naples yellow. From Seneliar and hookers green again Senear. If you don't have hookers green, you can use sap green as well. Or viridian green, emerald green. All these colors would work. And this is indigo from the band Windsor and Newton. So I will start. Sorry. I have to first watch out the colors. I'll take the tissue. I forgot to take it, Mom. And ready. This is naples yellow. We will be using very light shade of it, and also we'll be mixing it with hooker's queen first. So this is Hooker's queen. It's very nice to paint the water greenish water. This is a perfect color. I'll mix a little bit of naples to it, and I get this very light color. Yeah. So this is indigo. Again, I'll be using very light shade of it. So we are painting ocean waves today. It starts with this color and followed by hookers cream, followed by indigo. Now, I'm ready, so let's go. I'll first wet the paper using clean water and my wash brush. Wet the paper thoroughly. Do not leave any puddles lying around on the paper. As you can see, I'm taking lots and lots of water. This is why 100% cotton and 300 GSM paper is very important. It holds lots of water. And you can absorb if you use 100% cotton, 300 GSM, that the paper stays wet for a long time so that you have lots of time to work. Now I will remove all the excess water. By tilting the paper like this. On the water is now removed. And also, I will clean up the edges to remove extra water as well. So now I tate my silver black velvet brown brush, and I will first take this hooker's green mixed with tiny bit of maples yellow. I will start from here. We will do a quick gradient wash. But this is not gradient. You know, I will start adding hookers green in the middle. Yep, and start with hooker screen mixed with Indigo. Now this is just the initial wash. We will now begin the second wash, second layer. When the paper is still wet, I'm taking my silver black velvet number six brush, and I will take Hooker screen. I have to stand up from my chair because I can't see properly from here. And I will start with adding the waves. So if you add straight line, it doesn't look like a wave. Add it like this, this looks like a wave, right? So we are following that steps now. Now, as we come down, I will mix hooker's green gradually with indigo. Do not add directly the darker color. The transition should be gradual. Oh Now I will add more indigo because we are coming we are painting almost at the bottom of the paper. Now again, more indigo, and that's it. Since we painted wet on wet, you can see that paint has spread, so I will quickly adjust it using a damp brush. And Yep. I like how this has turned out. I want this part to look darker a little bit. So I'll quickly add in the devo. Yeah. This is okay. I'm okay with how this is looking now. So I'll keep this for drying. Once it dried, we'll see what changes we can make. And if I like how it looks after it dries, I will add the reflections and wrap up today's project. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. Hi. I'm back. My paper has dried up. I have, I don't want to paint anything on this right now because it is looking so perfect. If I add anything, I'm scared that I'll ruin it, but I have to go ahead and paint some reflections. So I will take indigo mixed with hookerscreen. And we will start painting the reflections now. So reflections I will be adding at only at specific places. Okay. Here. And this is the perfect place because there is a lot of glare. The white is the glare from the sun. It's the light, actually. So you can add reflections over there. Yeah. Go on here. Yeah. I know here. And with a bit darker color that is more indigo and less cars green, I will add reflection over here as well. Yep. That is it. And now, as a final step, I will take white wash and splatter some paint. Tiny bit to indicate the glare from the sun. Yep. And that is it for today's class project. And that is it. That is today's class project. This may seem very simple and that is very intentional because I want you guys to get used to painting oceans and views before we proceed with boats and reflections. So this is you can think of this as the foundation for our hundred days class. The next couple of days, I think not more than five would be the foundation class. I hope you enjoyed painting this very simple ocean waves scene today. I will see you guys tomorrow with another project. So thank you so much for joining me. And, yeah. See you tomorrow. 5. Day 2 - Whispers Of The Sea: Um, today we are using only one color indigo, but several values of it. I'll show you how. So I'm taking indigo from Windsor and Newton. And we will do Swatch Na. So basically, this is how indigo looks, right? So basically, this is the color, but we will be using several values of the same color. That is, you take water and a very little bit of paint. You get one value. And then you increase the paint a little more. You get another value. And finally, we will use indigo asides. That is less water and more indigo. Here we have taken more water and less paint. Here, somewhere 50 50, 50% water, and 50% paint. Here, almost 80% of paint and 20% of water. So this is how you get different values of the same color. So we will be using this to paint today's ocean waves. So without delay, let's get started. I will take my wash brush and I will start wetting the paper. Take your time with this step because this is the main, you know, main step in painting the rest of the work because you need to somehow you need to keep the paper wet for a long time, right? So we have made short we have made sure to use the right paper, 100% cotton, coal pressed paper, 300 Son paper. So it holds lots of water. And second step is to paint sorry, add water thoroughly. And I will remove the extra water like this. You can either remove the water using, you know, this technique that is wiping around the edges or this one, you know, like this. By tilting your board. Whatever is comfortable for you. Now, I will take my silver black velvet round brush, and I will start with the first value of the color. That is this one. More water and less paint. As we come down, we will start adding the We'll start adding more pigment. Now we have to adjust this now. I'll just take a damp brush and startbnding it into the paper. I will add darker shade at the bottom. Now, I will take my silver black velvet, number six round brush. This is a bit smaller than the one I had before. So with this, I will start adding detail waves. I'm working faster because it's very hot here and my paper is getting dried up. As we have already discussed in previous past projects, your brush strokes are very important. Now, if you paint a straight line, it doesn't look like a way. But if you paint it like this, it does look like a wave. So that's what I'm following here. So yeah, this is looking good. And I'm going to keep this for drawing. Once this dries, we will see what to add the reflections part. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. Hi, my paper has dried up now, so I will take my silver black velvet, number two, small brush, and I will start adding the reflections. So wherever you see the white part, you add reflections over there. It's important to not overdo this part because easily, you will ruin your painting if you add reflections everywhere. Oh Yeah, I think I'm okay with how this is looking. So now I will take whitewash. Remember, this is a very simple painting. We're just warming up for 100 days with this simple, ocean waves exercise. This is the glare. And that's it. We are now done with our class project. I will remove the tape since my paper is dried. And that's it. There you have it. Today's class project. I hope you enjoyed painting this with me today and tomorrow we'll be painting a different scene, a different project. So I'm very excited about that. I'll see you guys in my next video. Thank you so much for joining me today. 6. Day 3 - The Roaring Sea: No. Hey, guys. Welcome to today's class project. So we are painting a very simple ocean wave scene today. We have painted them so far, but a few so far. I mean, but today's is a bit different. I mean, I think we have covered only the calm ocean waves scene so far, I think. So today, we will be covering how the ocean would look, especially the waves if there was a storm storm. So basically, the waves would be very, you know, wavy. And then, yeah, I think, basically, that's the idea. I don't know how it'll pan out because I'm not following any reference for this. I have two colors here. Turquoise blue from the brand white Knights and Indigo from WinsorgNwton. Let us quickly swatch these colors. We'll take my brush. I have to take a paper towel. Let me go ahead and get it. Done. So I'll be taking very light version of it. And we will be mixing a tiny bit of indigo to this turquoise blue because I don't want the water to look like this. I want it to look somewhere in the middle of this turquoise blue and indigo color. So let's go. Diluted version. This is great, but I need a little bit of indigo. Yeah. And then eventually, I will dacken it using indigo without mixing tocosbl. So this is indigo color, by the way. So on the top, the water would look very light in color. So as we come down, it gets darker, and we have to paint the water in the shape of waves. I will show you how. So basically, this is horizontal lines using your brush, right? But if you are painting the wave, it should look like this. I should look like this from Yeah. This is basically the shape of a wave. So this is the idea. Now, I will begin by wetting the paper using my wash brush and clean water. Yep. Now, I will remove all the extra water from around the edges. If you are a complete beginner, you need to practice these breast strokes a lot because we will be painting oceans and beaches, sorry, oceans and waves after all. So that is the key for the hundred days. If you master these wave shapes, you will get you can even paint your own ocean scapes without relying on any tutorial. Now, let's begin. I will take my turquoise blue, I will mix it with indivo I will start from the top. On the top, we'll be using very light color. As we come down, the color gets darker. That means more indigo and less torquoise. Now, while the paper is still wet, I will paint some waves over here as well. This is a stormy ocean wave scene, right? So there will be a lot of bends here in our strokes. Now I will adjust the shapes once again. I'm not taking any paint on my brush I'm simply using a wet hungry brush so that it absorbs all the paint and give me that I mean, it gives me that white space in between the waves, which is essential to differentiate between two waves, we need that white color. Now, I will take Indigo. These wests. I have to work while the paper is still wet. And also, I would suggest you guys to work a bit faster because this is wet on wet after all, and the paper won't stay wet for a long time. Yep. Now, it looks like the sea is kind of disturbed, and that is because there is storm going on. If the waves look, you know, flat with less carw here, that means the ocean is calm. Now I will keep this ford drying. Once it dries, we will see what reflections we can add here. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. So my paper is now dried. So I will take Indigo. I will add a few reflections here and there because uh Um, I don't know if I should add. This is looking great now. I don't know. Okay, let's go ahead and add the reflections and see what happens. The reflections should be added in the white spaces only, guys. That is the one thing that you need to remember. Lighten the color a little bit. No, dark color I'm going to add one more near this way, I think so. Yeah, that's it. Now I will take whitewash. So with whitewash, I'm going to add a few details. I will also change my brush. This is Silver Black Velvet number two, smaller brush smaller than these two that I was using. I will take whitewash. Just lightly splatter it. Do not spatter too much of this colour. Whitewash. Just a little is enough. This is the glare. You can even use a masking fluid to cover up the white area. That will look even better. But we are keeping it very simple for today. And yeah, this is our class project. I will remove the tape. Yep. Here. You have to remove the tape here as well. Remove the tape only if your paper is dried. If it is wet, we can wait for a couple of minutes. Here you go. I hope you guys enjoyed painting this Tawny beach ocean wave scene today. And thank you so much for joining me. I'll see you guys tomorrow with a brand new class project. 7. Day 4 - Stormy Emerald Waters: Hi, everyone. Welcome to today's class project. So yesterday, we have painted a stormy ocean wave scene. Today we are painting the similar similar scene but with different colors. So I thought that to be a great practice as well. So I'm taking Yesterday, we only took about blue shades, right? So today, I'm taking so many colors. I think I'm going to skip one of these. I don't know which. So I'll just take naples yellow on the brand elliar. And actually, with naples yellow, viridian would look great. But I want to see what color I would get if I add sap green instead. So, naples yellow, sap green, viridian is out and hookers green. These make perfect colors, but I want a darker green as well. So I think I'm going to take indigo, as well. No to darken this green color. So this is Indigo, a tiny bit. The focus should be on the green shades, not on the indigo, the blue shade. So we are going to use indigo only to darken the hooker's green shade. So now I will take naples yellow, I'll watch these colors. So this is naples yellow. This is my favorite of all the yellows and sap gray. Sap glue. Of course, we'll be mixing maples and sap to get the greenish shade that I'm actually looking for. This is hooker's green, and this is indigo. We're gonna mix these two together, of course. You can see the dark green shade. So that's exactly what we want. See. Yeah. Now, I will also mix these two colors together and see what color I'll get. Oh. Great. So we're going to be using three shades here. This, which is a mix of these two and hookers creen and hooker screen mixed with indigo. So this is our color palette for today. Now, I will tape my wash brush and quickly wet the paper. Yes, now, as you guys know, the next step would be to remove all the extra water from here. They'll just take my board and dump out all the water onto my board and then clean it with my paper towel. H Now, I'll take my Princeton brush. First color is this. We're gonna mix naples yellow with sap grain. And we get this color. Lightly, I will start painting with it. I think there's there's right color on my brush and I'm going to quickly clean it. It's from a previous, you know, project. Yep. It's good. I think it was born Sienna. I was using it to paint a cityscape yesterday. This is the base layer, so it can be very light. Now, I will take my Princeton brush. Round brush and then mix maples yellow and sap green to get that light colored with. And let's begin painting. And I have mixed a little bit of hookers green with my sap green. I just wanted to see what color I get. Yep. Now, let's start with Hookers green. Now, let's mix hookers green with indigo. And we can paint the bottom part of the waves. Made it to be a bit darker here. And over here. And over here. Thought it was unintentionally darker. So I'll just add darker shades at the bottom, as well. I need to lift something over here. And I will keep this about drying. Once it dries, we will see what, I mean, where the reflections are going to go. And I don't if I don't see any reflections to be added, then I'll wrap up this painting session. So yeah, I'll see you guys in a couple of minutes. Hey, guys. Welcome back. My paper has dried, and I'm gonna be going with the reflections here. For that, I will be taking Hoka screen with a tiny bit of indigo, just a little bit. You know, your reflections should not look. They are painted with indigo. So probably dark green, not dark blue. So this is the color. I hope you are seeing the shade in the camera. So this is it. So I'll take that. And I will add reflections here and there. Oh I'm gonna be adding more reflections for this, for this scene today because, no, I kept adding very minimal reflection so far, and I want to see what happens if I add a lot more. I'm liking the scene so far. I'm actually now scared what What if I overdo it. So I'm scared to paint the reflections here in this area and here as well. But, uh, yeah. My curiosity always kills my doubts, so curiosity always wins. Let's go. I don't want to I don't want to find out what happens if I add there. I have a feeling that I'm gonna ruin it, so I'll just take my white wash. I'll splatter something. That'll be our glare. Take the smallest brush I have. This is silver black lot number two, and lots of white wash. Done. So this is our project today. I hope you enjoyed painting another stormy beach scene, but with a different color today. I'm gonna remove the tape. My paper is dried, so I'm gonna just remove it very quickly. And here you go. Today's class project. I hope you guys enjoyed painting this with me, and I will see you guys tomorrow with a brand new class project. Thank you so much for joining me for this hundred days project. It's kind of overwhelming, but even if you paint ten, 50 or 100, I would still be very happy that you joined. Thank you so much. 8. Day 5 - The Color of The Sea: Hey, guys. Welcome to today's class project. So yesterday we have painted stormy beach we've seen, but in green colour, right? So today we are going to paint ocean wave scene but with two different colors. So the top part would be blue, and the bottom part would be green. So this is mostly useful when you are painting underwater scenes. So that's what I have kept in mind while I designed this particular class project today. And today is the last day for our foundations module. So we have finished five days, sorry, today is the fifth day. So by the end of today, we will be finishing our first module that is our fundamentals or foundations of ocean waves. And from tomorrow, I mean, from the next class project, we will be focusing on a different module, and I will talk about it all when we will, you know, when we get there. I think tomorrow is Sunday, so there won't be any class project because we are taking Sundays off. On Monday, um, let's start with our module too. Coming to the colors, I have taken Hooker's green from the brand Cinela and Azure glue from the brand White Knights. And third is indigo. Of course. This is my must have color on my palette, especially for painting water. I'm done. So I'm going to quickly swatch these colors out. First I'll take hookers green. And I will mix occas green with sorry, faster swatch the Azure glue. This is such a beautiful blue color and indigo. Now, I will mix hookahs queen with Azure. Yeah, this is the color that I'm looking for. And Azure mixed with indigo. This is another color. So our color palette for today is these three colors, one, two, three. Not this, these three. So this is a mix sorry, this is not a mix of any color. This is hookers green. If you don't have hookers green, you can use sap cream, and we're going to use this color. This is the mix of hookers green with Azure blue. And this is another color that is the mix of Azure glue and indigo. So these three colors will be painting. So the top part would be hookers green. The middle part would be this color, hookers green and Azure mix, and the last is azure blue with indigo color. So that's the idea. Now I will start by wetting the paper. Oh And, uh, I mentioned why I usually take Sundays off. You guys know that I have a tiny, tiny daughter. She's now seven months, but that's not the reason. I will we have a different, you know, system at home. I will discuss it while I send out an email today. The paper is now evenly wet. I will take my silver black velvet, wrong brush. This is number ten. This is hookers green. First hookers green. Ivy green each. So at the top, Hooker's green, right? And sorry. At the bottom, it's green. I'm confused now. Okay, we can go ahead. So this is hookers green at the top. As I come down, I will be using Azure blue mixed with hookers green. And Azure glue. Oh This is a gradient variegated wash, if you're wondering. That is mixing a couple of colors. You can take any number of colors, S two, three, and then making a gradual blended wash. If you are a beginner attempting variegated wash for the first time, you need to have the right kind of paper for it. M and, of course, brush. Paint comes later. And now I will take my pristan wash. I will start with hookers green, and I will start adding the waves. You can go with either stormy waves or calm sea waves. It's completely up to you. For this gas project, since this is our last in foundations, I won't be, you know, guiding you which type of ocean waves you have to paint. I will leave it up to you. Okay. Now, as you can see, I've just removed all the water from my brush, and I will carefully use my damp brush to create these whites in between the waves. Again, if you're a big enough, you need the right kind of paper for this. I'm using lifting technique mostly to create the create these white spaces in between the ways. Yep. I like how this is. This has turned out so far. And I especially like these white white, you know, gaps. That is that is sunlight falling on the waves. Okay, now I will keep this for drying. Once this paper has dried up, we can we will come back and add the reflections. See you guys in a minute. Hi, guys, my paper has dried up. Now, I'll quickly start adding the reflection spat, and I think I made a mistake of saying that this class would be going live today. But no, this is today we will be discussing about we will be discussing day four project. I'm so sorry about that. I kind of forgot today was Saturday. So this will be live on Monday. So this is the last class in our foundations. And I will take Azure blue mixed with a tiny bit of indigo. And I will add reflections here, here and here. And we'll see I will first add this, and then we will think about where to add next. No, I just move the extra paint. I want it to be dull, not in a bright color. I don't think I would like the reflections on this one. But let's see. I should have left it alone. Oh, I think I don't want to risk this risk adding reflections because this is looking good, and I'm okay. I'm very happy about how this painting has turned out. So I'm just going to take the white wash and add the glare and wrap up this class project. Yeah. Done. So this is our class project and the final class project in our foundation section. With this, we are wrapping up our module one. I'll remove the tape. My paper has dried up now. I like the double colour on this painting, the blue and green. If you are painting any underwater scene, this color combination is perfect. If you have sun coming from this side, you can add green and blue over here. And if the sun coming on usually from this side or from this side, you can add or from the top. If you are adding the horizon line here and if the sun is over here at any side at the top part, you can just go with the green color here. And as you come down, you can add blue. And if you want to emphasize the underwater stones or rocks, then you can go ahead and paint the blue on top and green at the bottom. So it's just whatever you decide. That's the beauty of ocean. I like, you know, how flexible the ocean subject is, whatever colors you choose, and however you paint them, they still look great, the ocean landscapes. So that is it for today's class project. I will see you guys tomorrow in our new module. Bye. 9. Day 6 - Sunset Beach Day: Hello, everyone. Welcome to today's class project. Today we are painting a beautiful ocean with sunset view. So so far, we have painted the ocean waves, ocean, the beach scenes and everything. So today, we are trying something different, the ocean with a sunset view. So, of course, today's project will be very colorful. That's why I have even taken a very big swatch card for colors. But first, we will start with a simple sketch. By sketch, I mean, we only have to draw a single line to divide the horizon. That's it. Very simple. So we will have the sunset scene here, the sky, and here the beach scene. Now I will take the colors. So now I'm back with the colors. First color is primary yellow from Semar. This is to paint the sky, of course. Next is orange from white knights. I like this particular shade of orange. It's not too bright. It's almost like a very mild neutral orange. I don't know if that's the thing. And this is red, again, from white knight. I love bright red from sennelar, but this one is very subtle. So I like that one. I like this color for that. And then a little bit of royal blue. This is such an unique color, In my collection, this is from ScenariaRoyal blue. It's like sky blue color. And teeny tiny bit of purple. I don't want to paint purple too much in this painting. I want to I want I want only a few colors to be the highlight. Those are yellow, orange and blue blue for the water and yellow and orange for the sky. And this is blue senear. The color itself is called blue Senelar. So I think it's very similar to Prussian blue or Iantanblue. So that is it. Our color palette. Now I will do the colors watch. This is yellow, primary yellow. And so, sorry, white nights orange. I told you this is very mild orange color, not too bright. And yeah, this is a red color. Even this color is not too bright. This is royal blue. Perfect to paint Sattle skies. Okay, we should not mix these two colors or else we'll get muddy colors. Or not. I think I'm okay with mixing it very lightly, as you can see, and purple color. And this is glue celia. Similar to rustianblue. And that is it. Today's color palette. There are so many colours. But first, before we start with the painting, I want to cover the ocean part right at the horizon line using this masking tip. Let's begin. First I will with the paper using my wash brush. Now, I'll take my round brush. Start with primary yellow. Quickly followed by orange and very little amount of red. I don't want the red to be the highlight. I want orange to shine through. So I'll just mix a little bit of red to orange and I'll paint with itself instead of using red directly. Now, tiny bit of purple at the top. Followed by royal blue. Now, let's blend these colors together. Take a little bit of orange. Now, I will show you a cool technique. This is my paper towel. I will wrap my finger around it. I will dab some paint away to create the sun. Okay? Now, take this small brush and lots of red mixed with orange color. And let's start painting with it. O. That's it. Now, I will keep. Wait, hold on. I'll see if I can paint with purple here. Okay. That's enough. I don't want to overdo this and create muddy colors. Okay. Now, I will let the paper dry completely before we move on to painting the ocean. So I will see you guys in a couple of moments. Hey, guys. Um, welcome back. My paper now is dried. So I will start painting the ocean now. But first, we have to remove this masking tape. Perfect. Now, we'll be using orange color here, and gradually we will change it to blue. I'll paint with royal blue and then followed by blue scenea No violet. First, I will wet the paper. Done. Now I will take my silver black velvet but ten. Let's start with yellow. Followed by orange and red mixed with orange. Now, we will paint with royal blue. Followed quickly by blue colour. As we start painting with the blue, we have to start painting the waves as well. You know, the wave shapes. Oh, there is a color. There's a green color over there. That's because orange is getting mixed up with blue. It's okay. I can manage with that. Now, I will take my silver black velvet number six brush, a small brush. I will take tiny bit of violet mixed with royal blue. That's it. There is a tiny bit of blue, but that's okay. I can cover it up. It's quit. No, I need to darken the bottom part. So I'm taking more blue. Yeah. Perfect. So I think this looks good. I don't want to, you know, ruin it by adding too many layers of the paint. So I will keep this one for drying. Once this dried, we will see if we have to add any reflections or I can leave it as it is. So I will see you guys in a minute. Hey, guys, I think the paper is now dried. I will I was thinking to paint a few reflections on the water, but I don't think they would look good if I paint. So I will stop, and I will add white gouache to create the glare. So after that, we are done with our project. I will also add a few birds, but I don't know if they will look good or not. So I don't know. I will decide once I add the glare. So I've taken my silver black velvet, small brush and just platter some white gouache paint. Yeah, that's it. This looks very plain. Um, I don't know. I will add the boards after all. So for the boards, I will be taking my, um, blue inelar colour with a little bit of purple in it and royal blue. Now we platter some paint. That's it. I don't know if it is looking good up. You guys beat the edge of it. Now I will remove the masking tape. We are done with our class project today. Oh And there do you go? The beginner friendly sunset beach Ocean sine. Uh, yeah, thank you so much for joining me today. I will see you guys with a new project tomorrow. 10. Day 7 - Painted by Sunset: He Hey, everyone. Welcome to today's class project. So we are in the second module of our oceans class, and this is all about painting sunset waves. So yesterday, I have uploaded one project that was actually supposed to be added in the Module three, but it's fine. Um, the techniques are all same, and I actually love that I have already added that in Module two itself. That gave me an idea on how to paint. I mean how to take this Module two further. So yeah, today we are painting sunset waves like I have already discussed. For that, I will be kneading. Of course, this entire module has, you know, we will be using so many colors for this second module. Now this is Naples yellow from Snelar This is orange from white knights. Sorry, this is actually vermeilion color. Now, this is Aazarin crimson. This is my favorite color. I mean, in the reds. I mean. But in the blues, I will always go with indigo. This is diaxenPurple. And this is cobalt blue. I rarely use this color, but today I thought I would give it a try. Notice I did not take indigo for today's project, but actually, I am intentionally avoiding it, but I will probably use it if I have to. Not to paint darker colors. I'll keep it here just in case. And let's quickly swatch these colors. Maple slo. I think there is some blue on my brush. Okay. You can see the green colour is forming. That's because there is a blue. You see? Very light share of it. Naples yellow. I will swatch it here once again. And this is vermilion. And this is Alizarin Crimson. And purple. And we have cobalt blue. Yep. Very nice set of colors. I'll keep it here. I mean, I'll keep the swatch card here. And let's move ahead and paint the class project now. I will take my wash brush, of course, and we'll start wetting the paper. Do now I will take my silver black velvet, number ten brush. I will take Naples. Start with Naples at the top. Slowly adding red to naples. You know, this is sunset scene, so that's why there is a mix of all these colors, and we'll be painting the views in all these colors as well. And laser and crimson mixed with red. This is a base, um, wash. That is the background wash. We will be painting the waves later. So this is purple. And finally, cobalt grove. Perfect. Now I will remove all the extra water from around the edges. As you can see, the tape is different. The masking tape because my the previous masking tape was, you know, I ran out of it, and I ordered, but they delivered different size. These things happen, so I just did not think much of it. I thought to return, but, um, I did not have time for it. Now I will take Alsarin mixed with purple. To get this reddish, blue color, can say reddish, violet, sort not blue. So this is the color. You know, I'll add more violet. So this is the color that I'm looking for. I will start adding the waves with this. First, I have to stand up from my chair because, uh, a I can't paint if I sit down. Yeah, this is it. These are the wave colors at the top. Slowly, we will be painting with purple color. And then we will be adding purple to cobalt blue. Beautiful color. I never actually explore cobalt much, but it's a beautiful color. You need to be faster here before the paper dries up. You can already see that my washers are not, you know, flowing. They're just there where wherever I paint them. The paint is not moving. That means the paper is drying. Yeah. And I will give this what drying. Once it dries, I will see if I have to add any reflections. For reflections, I may need Indivo but we'll see. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. So someone asked me if I use hair dryer to dry up my paintings. Actually, that depends. I do have the hair dryer here with me. You can see it here. But it depends on my time, actually. If I have to be fast on the day, you know, I have other commitments as well. So if I have to hurry up the process, I will use hair dryer. But if I don't have anything scheduled on that day, then I'll just switch on the fan in the room, and I'll wait for it to dry naturally. Yeah. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. Hey, everyone, my paper has dried up now. So I will take my silver black velvet number two brush, and with cobalt blue and a mix of, uh, purple, I will start painting the reflections. I won't be using indigo. So, yeah. I know you must be bored of painting the same thing over and over again, but trust me, you need these kind of practice sessions, you know, the repetition of same techniques, same landscapes, sorry, same ocean scapes to master the subject. Yeah, um, the reflections. I have been painting oceans for the past at least seven years. So now I'm able to make the class. So I have painted similar subjects over and over again, you know, to understand the technique to understand the pattern of the waves, the reflections and everything. So in the beginning of the class that I mentioned that you need to have a lot of patients to go through 100 days. So that's why there is no pressure. If you want to paint only 50 or 20, it's completely up to you. Yeah, I think, I'm gonna take white cost to splatter some of it. It's not compulsory to paint, you know, to splatter white gosh at the end for every painting. I just do it because it's been my habit, you know, since the past seven years since I've been painting painting the oceans. So, again, if you want to skip this tip, you can. But I just think how it looks so, you know, put together once I splatter some of gosh. So, yes, that is stuff. I'm going to remove the tape now. And here we go. We are done with today's class project. I hope you guys enjoyed painting today's sunset Wave seeing with me. I will see you tomorrow with a brand new class project. So bye. Oh 11. Day 8 - Sea of Sunset: Hi, everyone. Welcome to today's class project. So today, we are painting another sunset portion wave scene. So the colors I'm going to use today are vermilion color on the brand, sorry, white knights. So this is a red color. If you don't have white knights, you can use sennelia French vermilion or any red that you have on your palette. And then this is quinacron rose, but I don't have the label, but I swear this is quin rose. This is from the brand white knights. Oh. I think the pigment is tried, so just quickly. Mm. Okay. Yeah, I just removed that dried paint, so now I got quinros. And this is violet, DaxinPurple. Sorry. DaxinPurple from Cmdiar and Indigo. Okay. So this is from White Knight. So I'm gonna quickly swatch these colors. I don't have a paper. Okay. Um I don't have a spare paper, but I have one over here. I'm going to quickly swatch the colors. So this is right. So we won't be using the red, and this is quindos. We won't be using the quindos just like this. We'll be mixing these two colors to create some kind of peachy sunset colors. This is the color. It's actually my favorite color to paint the sunset. Now this is purple. And this is indigo. And of course we won't be using these two colors just like this. We're gonna be mixing these two. Yeah. So this and this are our color palette. Let's start painting now. Mm. I don't know if I should be going with horizontal or vertical orientation. I think I'm gonna go with horizontal. Yep. Now, let's begin. Wetting the paper with clean water. Now, I will take sorry, I will first remove all the extra water by just, um, dabbing my around the edge just dabbing the paper using my paper towel. Yeah, this is good. Now I will start with silver black velovet number ten. And we're going to be using this color, the peach color. And for that, I'm mixing right with pink. Sorry, rose quart front rose. So first, I'll start by adding the color from the top to bottom. And quickly, I will take this color. I will start adding here as well. So the top part would be purple and the bottom part. I mean, the middle part would be the pink, and again, the bottom part would be the purple mixed with indigo. This time, this is a bit darker than this. Yeah. Perfect. Now I will take my Princeton brush and I will start adding the waves now. So first, I'll take the purple mixed with indigo. We'll start from here. Don't be afraid to go dark dark shades here at the bottom. We need the dark color for the waves. Now I quickly washed off the paint on my brush, and I've taken a damp brush by removing all the extra water. And now with the damp brush, I will blend these waves with the background. The climate is very humid here. That's why the paper is drying up fast. That's also the reason why I'm working very fast, as well. I'm intentionally adding small ways here in the middle. Yeah. O. Yeah, I will stop now because the paper is drying up really fast and I don't want to ruin it. So I will keep this for drying now. Once this dries, we will add the reflections. So see you guys in a couple of minutes. I think I'm going to have to adjust this one a little bit because the edge is a bit harder, harsher than what I wanted. I need soft edge, but this one turned out to be a hard edge. Yeah. Okay. That's good. Now I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. Alright, my paper has dried up, so I will take my silver black gold number six brush, and I will quickly add the reflections using the mix of indigo and purple colours. So let's begin. So far so good. I'm very, um, careful while adding these reflections for all of my projects because in my experience, I have always overdone it and mostly kind of ruined the painting. Then now I even take my silver black, sorry, the whitewash and splatus some pink. Um, using the smallest crush that I have. That's it. Um, yeah. And that is it. We are done with our class project. So I hope you guys enjoyed painting this one with me. We'll remote a tape because my paper has dried up. Yeah. Done. So I'm gonna see you guys tomorrow with the new class project. Bye. On that. 12. Day 9 - Dusk by the Sea: No. Hey, guys. Welcome to today's class project. So today, we are painting a very simple ocean wave scene that is Sunset waves, of course. So this is Quinos. The label is not there, but it's quinosF White Knight. And this is milion from the brand Again White Knight. We're gonna make a beautiful peach color with this. And this is dig scene purple. Yeah. I'm not gonna be using any dark colors today like indigo or blue today, just these colors. Uh, so we are not going to be using any dark blues for today's class project. So I'm just looking for a spare piece of paper to swatch out the colors. I think I found one. Actually, I did not. Oh. Huh. I found one. So yeah. I'm going to take my eribablack velvet, number six brush, and this is quinros, right? A beautiful pink. And this is Vermeion. So we are going to be mixing these two colors to create a peach shed. So I will take red next bid. Think. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna take the lightest shade of this. Yes. So this is the color. Just add more water. And then this is purple, ***** in purple. And I'm gonna be taking the light shade of it. Not dark. See, this is the colour padded. Now, let's begin. I will take my Princeton brush. First I'm gonna have to take a paper towel. Okay. Now I'm ready. This is, of course, my Princeton brush. Okay. And I will wet the paper using clean water. Now, let's see if I have any extra water on my paper. I'm gonna just remove it by dabbing onto my paper. I need to clean my dsk. Yes, now that the paper is wet, I will take my silver glass brush, and I will start with purple light shade of it. Another light shade. Again, I'm going to start mixing purple with the peach color. And then slowly, I will start adding the purple shade itself. So this is just a base layer. Done. Now, let's start with, I'm gonna quickly change my brush. This is Princeton brush. So I will take I mean, I will mix the color again, the peach color. I'll take a tiny bit of purple in it. Yep. And let's start painting the waves with this. Now, I will slowly start adding purple. Instead of just directly adding the purple, you know, the transition would be very difficult to look at if we add two different colors. You need to slowly introduce these colors. So now I will take the purple color and purple again. And another. I mean, one more time. One more waves. So Again, this time, lot of lots of purple. Yeah. Now, remove all the extra water and caint from the brush, dab a little. Then with the damp brush, we will blend these colours. Blend these waves, I mean, blend these waves into the background. We need that white color as well. That's very important. So what I have observed so far, painting waves and reflections is that you need to have a good paper. So the paints and brushes are completely secondary. You need to have the good paper so that these colors and, you know, your breast strokes will be blending easily if you have 100% cotton, 300 years of paper. You can see I'm slowly blending these colors with the background. Yeah. So I think I'm okay with how this has turned out. I don't want to overdo this because I I had in my mind that I'm going to be going with very pastel shades for the waves. So if I add violet more over here, that's gonna ruin it. So I'm going to just stop right here and let the paper dry. Stat. Um, yeah. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes once this is all dried up, and we will see what needs to be added then. So I'm gonna see you guys in a couple of minutes, bye. So, hi. My paper is dried up. So today is the last in the module that we'll be painting these waves. Tomorrow, I'm planning something different like. We're gonna be painting the waves in two layers. The same sunset waves, but there's going to be two layers, so bear with me. This is a last practice session. So I will be adding a few reflections. No, um here there As you can already see, I'm adding them a little bit differently this time. And of course, I'm using purple colour instead of using Inpo which might have looked out of place because we are using light shade light shades today, right? And yeah, that is it. Now I will, of course, you know the next step is finishing up with whitewash. Mm oh Okay. This is looking good, and I'm going to have to remove the tape. I have a habit of overworking my paintings, so I always stop myself most of the times before I let myself go. And that is turning out to be a bad habit recently because my paintings are looking too stiff these days, instead of floe and, you know, soft watercolor paintings. They used to look like that, like real watercolor paintings. You know, that character of watercolor. I need to work on it. Thank you for churning me today. 13. Day 10 - Evening Tide : Hey, guys. Welcome to today's class project. So I'm using my QuinacronRose color. This is from White Knight, and this is permanent orange from aquaton. And I have a cobalt alco slight from Windsor and Newton. And I have indigo. This indigo, I'll be using less I'm in very light shade. Like, I will be using lots of water, and less pink. Let's quickly do a swatch of these colors. So this is permanent orange. And this is Quena Cronos. So we will be mixing these two colors to create certain pink or peach color for our class project today. As you can see, the color is here, right? Ah, yes. So I'm going to mix these colors now. Yep. So this is the color, but I'll be using the light version of it that is more water and less paint. And then turquoise color. And followed by Indigo. So this is our color palette for today. Now let's go. So I'm going to be honest with you. Today, I'm not using Fabriano paper. This is arches. I just had this paper lying around on my table. It was for a different study, but I'm using it for today's project. Let's see if this one works out better than Fabriano. I'm gonna be switching to arches from non cots. But I don't think so because both are 100% cotton and both are, um 300 GSM. So I am guessing both will give the same result. I'm gonna remove all the extra water. Now I will take silo black or red. Now, let's begin with that peachy colored. Use light shade of it? It's more pink. Oh gradually, we will start adding our turquoise color. Slowly. Let's take turquoise, mixed with tiny bit of indigo. No using dark indigo color if you guys can see because I want today's colours to be very light. So in yesterday's flash project, I have told you that, um, we may probably use two layers to paint the waves. So I know that. I mean, I'm planning for that, but, uh, let's see. Because, so far, we haven't painted the waves in two layers, so I'm thinking to incorporate this incorporate that in today's project. So I will start taking the peach color, and it's time to start adding the vase. Now, I will take trachs. We may need to add indigo as we, you know, gradually come down towards the bottom of the paper. And The paper is drying, so I may have to, you know, work faster here. I wash off on the paint, and I will start to use damp brush and adjust the moisture of these ways. Alright? So I think I may have to add a tiny bit of indigo to the turquoise. I want this wave to be similar in colour to this one. So I just have to darken it it. And a little bit over here, as hope. Yeah. Um, I'm I'm okay with how this has turned out so far. And I think I have to stop, um, painting and let this layer dry. Yep. Done. So now we will keep this for drying. Once this dries, we will come back and we're gonna paint the reflections. So see you guys in a minute. Hey, guys. Welcome back. My plan was to, you know, vet and paint the waves once again. I mean, paint the waves in layers, but I have a problem. This paper I have right here is expired paper. How can you tell? It's simple, actually. So you can see these marks here. You know, that is not a bloom. It's actually a paper that has sizing issues. You can see these lines. So this paper won't hold up if I rewet it. So I'm going to just paint a few reflections on it, and we will wrap up this session today. I'm taking indigo mix a little bit of tacos. You can see here how the paper is looking, right? See? This part. So that means the paper is expired. So now I will paint the reflections. Mm. It doesn't mean that only Arches has these issues, but, but in my experience, I have observed arches behaving like this a lot more than any other brand, but it's not particularly about the quality. Most of the times it's about the stories, how you are storing your paper. So that matters a lot. And how old is the paper? Now, I would I'll take whitewash. Yes. Um, very little. In small brush. And we'll splatter some paint. That's it. And with this, we are done with our class project. What today? And tomorrow is Sunday, so I won't be available. That means there will be no class project. So I will see you guys on Monday. I'm gonna remove the tape now. You can clearly see how the paper has these sizing issues. It's called sizing issue. And eta. Thank you so much for joining me today. I will see you guys on Monday. 14. Day 11 - Glowing Ocean Landscape: Hi, guys. Welcome to today's class project. So we are beginning a new module today that is painting sunsets with a small boat at the horizon. So this is the start of our future module that is boats. Um, yeah, we'll be painting boats for 30 days. So consider this as a small practice session for the next five days. So I will begin by selecting the colors. Since this is a sunset or sunrise kind of module, I mean, sunset or sunrise module, we will have a very colorful palette for the next five days. So I will start by taking naples yellow from the brand sunler and this is permanent orange from the brand aquatone. The I'll just remove the pink that had gotten on my hand. Yep. And then this is lazarin crimson from the brand. Again, Cener. And we have tags in purple from Sniv and white knights Sorry. Indigo from white knights. So now, obviously, we will be covering the horizon with a masking tape, the horizon line. So I'm thinking the horizon line should be here a little top then instead of the middle of the paper. Um, I'm thinking if I have to sketch the boat or I can directly paint it. I think I'll sketch the boat. But after painting the sky. So let's go. First, we will paint the sky now. Sorry, I have to swatch the colors first. So this is my silver black velvet, number six brush. This is naples yellow. I love naples yellow because it's such a glowy color. And this is orange. And Alysa and crimson. Purple. We have such glowy sunset. We can achieve glowy sunset with these colors, you know? And of course, indigo. In this order. I'll show you how. So I'll take naples followed by orange Alzarin crimson. And puppy. See, this is the technique to create that loe sun in the middle of all these colors. So now I will start painting the sky. Let's wet the paper using my instant brush. Remove all the water. And now I will take my silver black velvet brush. Let's begin. I'm thinking to paint the sun over this side. 15. Day 12 - Embrace of the Evening: Hi, welcome to today's class project. So we are painting another horizon, sunset with horizon and a tiny pot scene. So for that, I will take colours. This is naples yellow from the brand inelarPermanent orange from aquaton This is my favorite color in this brand. This is it gives such a nice, bright orange color. And in sanelia, I love french amelia. And this is diaxenPurple. Again, from Senia. And finally, we have indigo. I will start by wetting the paper or the sky area. As you can see, I've already put the tape in the middle of the horizon. Sorry, middle at the horizon line. Okay. I'll remove the extra water. I need to take tissue. So I think I have to watch the colors first. I always forget this step for some reason. This is naples yellow. And this is orange. And this is French vermilion red colour. And we have purple. And we have indigo. So this is our color palette for today. And I will start by painting here painting the sunset. I have purple here on my brush from previous um, shoot. It's important to clean your brushes properly or else, you know, I have purple here. And if I put this brush in the yellow, you know, I could get muddy colors. So now I will start. Orange. Now French amelia. You can see how bright these colors are, right? The orange and red. And now purple. I will probably not use indigo. I will use it directly in the water. Now, I will remove all the extra water from the brush, and carefully, I will blend these colors together. Especially here. Careful not to ruin that white empty white on the paper because that is our sun. I'm trying to paint the clouds. Oh I'm done. So I will stop now because I like how this has turned out. And I will let the paper dry for a couple of minutes and then I'll come back and paint the ocean. See you guys in a minute. The paper has dried up. I will remove the tape. Now, let's wet the paper at the bottom. This is the water area. The ocean park. One tip, there shouldn't be white gap between the horizon and the water. You need to blend those together. It'll take a little, you know, practice, but that is the concept. You should not leave that white line. Now I will repeat the same process that we have done on the top. Now, the paper is drying, so I have to be quick and blend these colours to it. A Now I will take Indigo and paint the rest of the bottom part. This is the white line I was talking about. You need to carefully. Um, you know, cover it up. I will quickly switch the brush. And, yeah, I'm going to leave it as it is. I like how this has turned out. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. My paper has dried up. Of course, I have used the hair dryer. Now I will take my silver black velvet, very small brush. This is, number two. Yep. Um, I will paint the pot now. I will take indigo because I need it. I have run out of indigo on my palate. I have a new tube of indigo, but I don't know where it is, so I have to clean that up later. But first, we need to paint. It's gonna leave a bitness. I'll just cover it. Some random details on the boat. Now, I will take red mixed with purple and start painting the reflections. As we come down towards the bottom of the paper, the reflection has to get darker. That's why I'm mixing indigo. I'm done. So this is our class project for today. I'll get you cleaned. This is working me. Done. So now I will remove the tape from around the paper. This is today's class project. I hope you guys enjoy ping this with me today. I will see you tomorrow with a new one. Thank you. Go. 16. Day 13 - Horizon Glow: Hey, guys. Welcome to today's class project. So we are painting, another sunset motion we've seen today, and these are my colors. So this is naples yellow from the brand celluliar. I have a white wash, um, leftover from one of my previous paintings, so I'm going to keep it like that. So this is permanent orange from the brand, aquatu. Oh and this is French vermilion from the brand annelia. And this is royal blue. This looks similar to sky blue. And it's a bit opaque as well. So you can just add white watercolor to your um, any blue that you have like ultramarine cobalt. I would prefer ultramarine. So you can add white watercolor, not white gosh to ultramarine, then you'll get the shade similar to royal blue. And finally, we have indigo. So this is our color palette for today. I'm gonna quickly swatch these colours for take a paper towel. Yeah. So so this is naples yellow. This is, um, permanent orange. So if you mix royal blue with orange, you will get a muddy color. You can see the color turning into a brown. So I wanted to avoid this. That's why I have picked red. If not, I would have directly gone with, um, you know, directly gone with blue after orange. So I will take a little bit of red. And now I will add royal blue. You can see the color hasn't turned muddy. This is where the red is, and you can see the color is remaining intact, right? And of course, followed by indigo. So this is the color palette. I'm going to quickly take my Princeton brush, the wash brush. I will start by wetting the paper. Oh And I have also intentionally avoided using purple because in our last two class projects, we have used purple right after the reds. So I wanted to avoid, you know, the repetition of the same color palette. I remove the extra water? I think I should have applied the tape first. I forgot about it. Okay, I can, you know, uh, take my paper towel. This is the next step to just slightly tap the paint off. Yeah. No. I will taste my masking tape. Color. The water is off now on the paper. Well, I will tape it here. Right? Now, while the paper is still wet, I'm gonna take my silver black velvet. I will start with naples yellow. Orange. Red. Make sure to cover the orange with red on all sides so that you don't get the muddy colors. Now slowly start adding the royal. Now, this will give a light purple shade, but that's okay. Now with a damp brush, let's blend all these colors together. The tiny bit of indigo to royal blue and start adding a few cloud shapes. A bit darker because this is just looking really light shade. Yeah. I like how this is turning out. So I will remove all the water from my brush. With a damp crash, I will slowly blend these colors do well. I want the colour to look a bit darker here at the top. Yeah. Nice. Yep, I like how this is looking now. So I'm gonna stop working, and I will let the paper dry. Once this dries, we will start working on the water, right? I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. Hey, guys, um, my paper has dried up. I'm gonna remove the tape now. This is looking good, um, considering the error I have made. Okay, now I will start wetting the water area. The ocean part of it. I want extra water. Now, I will take my silver black or white. And again, we are repeating the same process that we have, uh, you know, done on the sky part, right? This is the reflection. So obviously, it'll look similar to the sky orange. And there is red. And now I will take. Sorry, I don't have royal blue on my palette. Royal glue. I'm gonna quickly blend these colors together. Right? Now with Indigo and Royal glue, we will start adding the waves. Here, we will not be painting the clouds. Now I will take my small brush. Sorry, this one. This one, the Princeton brush. And Okay, Fury, start painting the waves. Oh Now, digo. Oh You can see I'm not adding much here at the top because even this area, since it has blue color, the color is running muddy. So I'm just lightly touching it instead of just completely going full blend. Okay. I'm going to stop now, and I will let the paper dry. Once it's dried, we can come back and add the boat and its reflections. So I'm gonna see you guys in a couple of minutes. All right. The paper is dried now, so I've used hair dryer to speed up the process. And now let's go ahead and paint the boot the small boat. So I will take my small number two brush, and this is silver black velvet, and I will take indigo. And I will place the boat. I don't know where to place it. I'm not following any reference picture. So I'm gonna I can place it here or here. Um, I can place it here. Here. Now, just track the pink that is already there. You can see if this is a bit bigger. 1 second. I'm not getting the proportions right. Now, I will take red azure for the reflection. Yes. Um, I think I'm okay with the reflections on how they are looking. So I'll just leave it as is. So this is our um, class project for today. I hope you guys enjoyed painting this with me. If I could get something right, it's this sport. I don't know why it kind of it's kind of looking weird because I was, um, you know, following some reference picture, but I stopped following in the midway. So that's why I got confused. So this is it. I hope you guys enjoyed painting with me, and I will see you tomorrow with a brand new class project. All right. Bye. 17. Day 14 - Sunset Serenity: Hey, guys. Welcome to today's class project. So we are painting yet another, um, ocean waves scene in sunset. So I will take my colors now. So these are the colors. If cover up the horizon line. I mean, I'll put the masking tape there because if not, I'll just forget it. So I don't know if I have, I'll go with horizontal orientation itself. I thought I'd go vertical, but yesterday's project, we painted a vertical, so I'll I'll switch up for today. Now this is naples yellow from Cinela. And this is French vermilion red colour from Cinela. And this is cobalgblue. And I have indigo as well with me. So I'm not taking more colors like purple, Alizarin, or all those colors extra colors. I'll just use very minimal palette for today. For sunset, this is minimal. Only four colors we are using. And this is my silver black let number two brush. And with this, let's wash the colors. This is naples iloc. I forgot to take the paper towel. I'll be in a I'll take it now. I always forget to keep one here. And this is red. Followed by Cobol pl. You can see there is no muddying of the colors. Nice. If I had taken orange instead of red, there would be, uh, you know, muddying of colours, which I don't like, actually. Of course, no one would like that. So you should know the color theory to be to have an idea of what colours to use and what to avoid. And as you can see, I'm wetting the paper. Remove all the extra water. Right? No. Now, I'll take my silver black alvet starting with Naples. This is red. Make sure you cover the entire of the paper. Wherever you see the yellow, you cover red with it. Now we will use cobalt. You can already see the color is turning purple wherever the red is touching the blue and that's perfectly normal. What we don't want is green. And, of course, the brown colors, which you don't usually see in the sky right. I'm now blending all these colors together. I'll take slight indigo and mix it with cobalt, and I will add it here. Blend it until it feels right to you. Nice. Now I will take my Princeton brush with indigo and cobalt blue. That is more indigo and less cobalt. I'll just slightly add a few clouds here and there. Now, let's adjust adjust a few things with a damp brush. You can see this color the color is bleeding. Largest that. And here as well. My paper is getting dried up, so I need to be faster. Yeah, this is very subtle and I like how this is looking. So I'm going to stop right now and let the paper dry, and I'll come back and we'll paint the ocean. So see you guys in a couple of minutes. The paper has dried up and I have used hair dryer for this. I'll remove the tape very carefully. Perfect. Now, let's sweat the ocean part, the ocean area. Oh, yeah. Now, I will remove all the extra water. Let's go. I'll take my silver black vet. And we will paint the same we'll paint with same colors like we have painted above. First, I have taken naples yellow, followed by red. Followed by cobol Blu. I need to be faster because the paper is drying up much faster than when we were painting the sky because I did not use much water. Yeah. Take a damp brush slowly. Blend these colors together. Be very careful with horizon line. You should not leave any white spaces there. I'll take Indepo. It's time to quickly switch the brush and start painting the vase. I'll take indigo mixed with tiny bit of coal blue. And let's begin. I'll stand up and paint because I can't see the horizon correctly. Samba. Yeah. Yeah, perfect. Now, I need to darken a little bit at the bottom. So I will use only Indigo instead of mixing it with cobalt blue. Perfect. Now, I will let this one dry. I need to adjust a few things here, but, um, paper is already dried. So even if I tried, it won't it won't look, as soft as if the paper was wet. So I'll just keep it as it is, and I will, you know, paint the boats and reflections once the paper is dried. So I will see you guys in a couple of minutes. Alright, the paper is dried. I will start painting the boats. This time, I will be very careful while painting the boat because, you know, in Australia's paint I was not very, happy with how the boat has turned out. Oh, Scott Now I will paint the reflection of the spot. Of course, I'll be mixing a little bit of red in it. Yeah. I think I'll take my silver black velvet number two brush. You know, to get the reflections short. Uh I'll darken the reflections a little bit here 'cause they're not visible. Oh This is looking perfect. And I think I'll Should I add one more boat here, or should I stop it right here? I don't know. I'm just I'm still deciding. Okay, I think I'll stop because I know we are doing it. Now, I will remove the tape. You know what? I will add one more boat. But this one will be very small. Yeah. Now let's add the reflection of the spot as well. That's it. Perfect. Now I will remove the masking tape. D. This is our class project for today. I will see you guys tomorrow with them, brand new class project. Take care. Bye bye.
