hi! this is ginger cook and today we're gonna be painting a sunset over a sort of a quiet ocean where the water is reflected and the, reflecting the sky and some of the sand is reflecting a bit of the sky, too and this is going to look a little complicated at first, but i promise you i'm gonna break this down in something very simple we'll start with an underpainting
and then we'll dry it and we'll go over it. we'll just do this layers and you'll be surprised at how easy this will seem to you once we do it and sometimes when you're looking at a painting like this, the pattern seems so complicated that new artists, their mind just shuts down going "oh! i can't do this!" but i promise you, follow along with me step by step, i'm gonna break this down so you're gonna get this easily and you're gonna discover a whole new way to paint a sunset, and i'm gonna take some of the
scariness out of it and also some of the scariness out of painting water and we're gonna be teaching 2 colors that are the pantone colors of 2016, and i'll explain that in a bit one is a rose quartz, and the other was called serenity blue so, we'll be talking about those a little bit and here's just a close-up of those colors these are the 2 colors that we're featuring as part of our of our painting today
and sometimes it's fun to just pick out a couple of colors and say "ok i want my painting to be about those colors" and that's what we're going for, and still keep the integrity of the sunset so, follow along with me as we paint serenity sunset, which i named after the serenity blue color so, hope you enjoy it, and i think you're going to find this fun and easy let's straighten this up a bit there. there we go! fun! hi! good morning! this is ginger cook, and i want to welcome you to my ginger cook live youtube channel
we do a lot of live broadcasts every week here on tuesday evenings central time at 7:30 and wednesdays usually at 1:00 and we post those times so you can kind of mark your calendar in advance today i'm doing something a little different i'm a member of the creative art collaboration group on youtube. it's a group of youtube artists and crafters and painters and every month we do a special
painting and you've seen some of the ones that we've done, like the rooster, the autumn, fall, autumn, and lady in the garden, maybe you've liked some of those this week, the theme, they all had a theme, and this week the theme is pantone colors. and you're going "what on earth is that?" every year, people get together, certainly not me, but you know, people in "the know" get together
and they, manufacturers and clothing designers and all kinds of people, they meet in los angeles, and they decide what the colors of the years are that way, when you go to macy's and buy a shirt you can buy a pair of socks at walmart, and they still match here are the pantone colors for 2016 it's gonna sort of surprise you. they're called rose quartz and serenity and the theme was to do a painting around those colors, and it's maybe not something that you'd think about, you know going "ok so, i've got some paint. where on earth am i going to get rose quartz or serenity
i've never seen that at the art store well, the closest you can get to rose quartz from what i found is a color called magenta and liquitex makes it. quadriclone magenta.there's other companies that make magenta also in acrylics and then serenity i decided was a combination of about 75% ultramarine blue and about 25% phthalo blue and white, ok? so that's my serenity color so, then i'm thinking: "well, what kind of painting can i do with that?" so, i went on one of my favorite sites on the internet is
is a site called paint my photo and it's pmp (capitol p, capitol m, capitol p) pmp-art.com and the photographers up there, most of them are amateur, some are professional, but they've donated their art to artists to paint their pictures, but they would like a little credit. for instance, today, i'm gonna mention this we're gonna do this sunset, because don't you think that's sort of the serenity colors up here? but i think i can change some of this orange and put a little more pink in it and have a nice picture, in other words, i'm not a slave to this, but i can use this as a guide and this particular photograph was done by a gal named jan russ (j-a-n r-u-s-s) and we're gonna use hers as a sort of a guide
this is what we're gonna start with and i've got an 8x10 canvas, all right an 8x10 canvas and we're going to just we're gonna make this all about a sunset and when you're looking at a picture like this, and this is important you've got something called a horizon line and i'm just gonna mark this picture here's the horizon line right here
horizon lines are straight, you guys. it doesn't go up like that. that's a little land mass over there horizon lines need to be straight, all right? and generally speaking, you never want them smack dab in the middle of something, so this is, for all intents and purposes 8 inches and um, and here's 4 inches, so she's got her horizon down a little bit lower than the 4 inches, which would be half cause this little picture is like 8x10 i have a little 8x10 canvas panel, but you can use just any old 8x10 canvas and, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna measure down
and i think i'm gonna come down a little bit lower than that if this is 4 inches, i want to come maybe i'm gonna come down to 4 1/2 measuring from the top, all right? and i can't use a white pencil, obviously you wouldn't be able to see that, so i'm just gonna use a ruler i'm gonna chalk that in, all right? just gonna chalk this in measure 4 1/2 on both sides and just draw a little line here because we're gonna do some underpaintings, but they've all gotta be kind of different. so, then
here's your, oops. that wasn't straight. here's your ruler line chalk kind of wipes off. all right, so let's measure it we should have 4 1/2 and 3 1/2 ok, so that's gonna be our sky this is going to be our water and we're going to say that our beach is about we're not gonna do a lot of water here. we're gonna give this about 1 1/2 inches of water
it's gonna kind of come in here like this, but one and a half inches of water and then the rest is going to be beach cause i think that sun's pretty. we're going to divide it up like this, all right? so, what did we say, that's about 1 1/2 inches of water. ok. so, that being said, let's start with some colors we're gonna start with, we have a lot of colors today we've got both the phthalo blues, the white, burnt unber, cad yellow medium yellow oxide which also is called yellow ochre burnt sienna, magenta, of course purple, cad red medium,
and mixing white, ok, or zinc white so the first thing we want to do when i'm looking at something like that is we're gonna divide we're gonna divide this picture up. this is important to know how to do that yellow only paints over white, so i'm gonna i need a yellow base down here so, about a third of this sky i need it to have like a yellow base, so i'm just gonna try to put that in there and as long, since yellow is is a light color, i'll start with that
let's get a little brush something i can use here easy here, i'm just gonna use a this is a ruby satin silver brush it's a bright, it's a squared off brush it's a #8 i'm gonna start here with a little yellow and white and i wanna just paint in
right above my water here some yellow and white. this is sort of my underpainting. i'm gonna do this very quickly. you know, a little bit of yellow and white down here in my beach this is the color i want down here all right, cause i'm gonna paint everything else on top of it and you're going "what's she talking about? underpaintings?" well, all paintings need an underpainting. you don't just start painting things
you need an underpainting and drying it, so this is going to be our underpainting here ok, and then we'll dry it. and then we'll do the whole painting on top of that. and i don't even worry about my chalk chalk's brown, it'll just all sort of blend in, i don't care and then, i need sort of that serenity blue color for the top. i'm gonna rinse my brush. and you gotta start with some white and this is real important. why am i starting with white?
ok, so here's a grey scale. so, you might as well get a learning experience while we're doing this. this is your grey scale. now, if i were to take a photograph of the serenity color in black and white and i looked at that as black and white it would be on the light side of my grey scale. does that make sense? it wouldn't be over here. it's almost over here, but not quite. so, if you're gonna do that, then you always start with the lightest color, which in our case, is white. take a little bit of phthalo blue, a little bit of ultramarine blue, a little more of that see, i've made this nice color. gonna kind of
measure it up to that, make sure i have this nice color here now i'm gonna just take this big brush here come across here, move all of this out of the way i'm gonna paint this kind of a light blue color. this is my serenity color. isn't that pretty? i mean, i've used this blue before. i don't know that i ever called it serenity this is kind of, the way they do this, it's kind of like lipstick colors go to the store and it'll say passion pink well, what it that really? and the same
a different manufacturer will call that romantic red, you know, just to the names are made up, but the colors are still there, and everybody is going with these. in fact, i just bought my granddaughter a really cute outfit yesterday and i got it at target, and sure enough, those were the the quartz pink and the serenity blue, so there you go. so, we're gonna do that now, as far as this color goes, when you, look and i can show you, the water's pretty dark
cause it's under the sunset, so i'm gonna rinse my brush and i think i just want a little bit of ultramarine blue in here and purple just a little bit of ultramarine blue with purple and that's going to be the bottom color for the water you're going "really? yeah, really. don't get so carried away when you're painting this in that it's not straight. now, this is how you divide a painting up into underpaintings ok? this is how you do it, and you've gotta have a good base. a little more ultramarine blue with that. gotta have a good base, or
it's not very effective. your picture is not effective all right, so now we're gonna just stop, pause the video, and you're gonna do this and dry all this so you've got kind of this nice stripe, and you know people, sometimes when they're painting will go "gosh i don't think i can paint. this is what i did." this is just your underpainting . don't even give it a thought, ok? so, let's just pause and dry ok, so i've dried this. it's dry to the touch. now i'm gonna go back to my serenity color again
and i'm gonna make it a little bit lighter. just gonna add a little bit more white to that because what i know is that your sky gets lighter as it goes down to your horizon line your horizon line is where the sky meets the either the water or the earth if there are no mountains that's your horizon line artists need to know where that is because you you base all your perspective off of that
buildings and people and fences and stuff so, let's make a little more of our serenity color now and make sure i've got enough of that this is my second coat of that, all right? let's get a little bit more ultramarine blue in there make sure i've got it just sorta gonna mix that on the canvas and, you know, nothing is ever one color, so there'll be shades of this, all right? so, you see how it kind of
i've gone over it the second time and it's a little bit lighter down towards the bottom and a little darker at the top that's a little trick, you've just gotta guide this a little darker at the top, a little lighter at the bottom now as i get back down into here, in the light part here now i'm gonna come over here like this and this is where i need to put some of my i'm gonna start switching colors. and i have to pause and dry this one more time
all right, so i've dried this one more time because now i want to go into my serenity color and you know, which is good, you want to go into that, so i'm gonna take start with the white again and a little magenta. just white and magenta is all that is a little white and magenta, and i wanna come on up here this way, i'm using a 3/4 inch, let's see 1/2 inch angle brush by simply simmons which i haven't rinsed very well. i'm gonna come on up here and wipe the brush off because i want a little bit more white in it
in this, i want this a little bit lighter, so here's my serenity color i'm gonna start coming up here and creating some clouds up in my sky like this. i'm just gonna come across here like this probably take a little bit of the mixing white that's your transparent white, and add it to the there we go, that's pretty. ok, so we're gonna start just suggesting some very feathered out clouds. now, clouds are water vapor so they're more mixing white than anything else. sort of a transparent white
and i'm just kind of going back and forth on the flat of my brush. i want you to see how i'm doing that very thin and the reason that we, you know, i probably could have you know, not dried it, but then the blue would have changed this color, and this is why we dried it. ok? so, here's some clouds up here by our sunset and i'm coming down over the yellow all right. and maybe over here i've got some. i'm just kind of looking. and this is a pretty, very nice sky.
with very whispy clouds. a little bit of mixing white, a little bit of that magenta it's too much, wipe the brush off just soften that out, so they're very, very, very fluffy and and soft. i think that would be the way to do it. maybe i can zoom in and show you this a little more there, ok. i wanna see a little of that blue kind of peeking through these clouds and then as i come into here as i come down into here, as i cross over, i'm gonna get a little more magenta now and we're gonna, it's gonna get a little stronger as i come down towards the bottom here
and then i'm gonna change colors and add a teeny bit of orange and magenta ok i'm gonna start changing colors maybe a little yellow as i go. i put a little yellow. that's pretty. put a little yellow with this now, i'm still in the magenta. i'm mixing on the canvas i want to say that all over here put some more yellow on this
lighten this up, a little magenta ooh, too much ok, a little bit more yellow ok, like this. now i'm coming down here into my sunset, covering up over the yellow. do you see that? and i'm letting some of this yellow show through from my underpainting now, let's take a little bit more pink and that magenta, i was thinking sort of a rosey pink color and maybe put it on top of that, ok.
and there we go and now, the reason, i've got some purple clouds going over this, so i'm just gonna bring this up just a little bit all right, here's my sunset i want you to see, i'm just sort of going back and forth changing colors a bit over my nice serenity blue now, i want you to just look at the picture for a minute and kind of say "what on earth is she doing?" you see. there's my picture so, i know that over in here i've got a little orange
it's coming this way and i'm gonna come underneath right here on the waterline, underneath here and paint this. i like all these bright colors, don't you? this is sort of fun. all these wonderful, fun bright colors let's see come under here like this yeah, a little bit, now i want my mixing white
pinch my brush off, and i'm gonna sort of lighten these colors up as they come towards my sun. my sun's in here, which is why i left the yellow see that, i've left this yellow. i put a few streaks across it but i'm gonna imply a sun here because of all this yellow i left in my underpainting, and believe me if you lose the yellow, it's almost impossible to get back because, see that's my underpainting right there yeah, if i want to paint purple, some purple clouds which, and i've got some purple going up in here, too
i will have to dry this again. this will be dried one more time let me just come back up here with a little bit of my white clouds up here. i'm gonna give it another coat this is what i like, and, you know when you're looking at a photograph, don't follow it religiously. you've seen a hundred thousand sunsets in your lifetime. come on, you've seen a lot and you just have to almost dig deep and say "where would the sunset be?" you know? where would the sunset be? maybe just a little mixing white just gonna put some up here like this and add some light to the clouds
just haven't rinsed my brush ok, just coming along here like that. keep it flat and then just, right on top of that, add another layer i haven't dried anything, you know. every few clouds i add some more white make this interesting. it's about a sunset. see what you can do. no two paintings in this group are gonna look the same, all right? so, let's see, i think i've got enough of a barrier here, i might go into my purple now, let's just see what happens. i'm gonna change colors and go into my purple
and a little bit of ultramarine blue ok, and a little bit of mixing white let's see what would happen if we brought in some purple up in here like this across these clouds all right there we go here we got some purple purple clouds up here you know, when i come up to the top of this
i kind of like the top of these purple clouds here. you see that? they're kind of kind of hanging low over this, but i'm gonna take a little bit of mixing white i haven't rinsed my brush yet and i'm gonna curve the top of these like the top of the letter m, if you're wondering what i'm doing. just thinking of making a lot of m's curve that and then bring it down and maybe skip a space bring a little purple in here
you have to be careful cause purple and orange make a brown, so if you get too much purple over orange without drying it, you can start turning the whole thing brown which you don't want to do, or you may want to do it. it just depends on on, you know how, maybe you do but, just know that's what'll happen, ok? see that little purple in here. i think there's a little purple down in here but i think i want to dry it now before i go too much further
with the purple. but i do like it. i do like it. i think that's sort of pretty and his, his, he's got a big you know, he's really brought this low over here and i'm gonna dry this, and then we'll do it again and you know, it just takes a second to dry something so don't get lazy about it. really dry it. now, as i get down into here into here, i see less purple gonna take a little bit of purple dioxazine purple
and maybe a little bit of cad red medium and i'm gonna go for that little bit, more of a brown tone sort of a purple brown as i come down into my sky into this red here maybe a little more cad red medium in here ok, now look. now look what happens. i deliberately toned this down into the brown tones and brought this sky down lower
it's wanting some of this orange to show through and then it gets sort of whispy out this way and now, these clouds here are definitely kind of allowing this underpainting to show through i'll just come up and overlap some of this a little bit since we dried it come across here like this. now, we're getting away with this because we dried everything, all right?
so, now we've got these pretty clouds and this little spot here is a little confusing. it feels too much like a second sun doesn't it? you wouldn't know what we gotta fix that, so let's take a little white and let's pull some, a little more white titanium now let's take some white and purple and make some lighter clouds
and come here. now, i'm gonna refind these again redefine ok, like that this is what paint's all about, layering that's all i can tell you, it's about layering so, i've got this white line up here and here's this lighter line of clouds a little purple and it'll go like this
ok, so i've got some, you know you want something that's sort of very nice whispy dioxazine purple is one of those colors that's almost impossible to mix so this is why it's just one of those colors i just have in my paint box. i just really love this color. all right, now i'm taking some of that purple and going over some of my brown now all right, so i've brought this over all right, so that's my that's my sky at this point and what i've seen a little bit, which is pretty
i'm gonna rinse my brush and show you is that underneath some of this i'm using my photo as a reference. underneath some of these clouds is a little tiny bit of orange and when you rinse your brush, make sure you get the water out of it, otherwise you're gonna drip on here put some under here like this and again, we're gonna spend a little bit of time on the layers put a little bit of, a little tiny bit of orange just yellow and cad red medium
ok, maybe a little bit more here under here, kind of pop some of this up you wanna set up your orange, you can put it back sunsets change every few seconds, so if your mind your painting looks a little different than mine, it's a different time of the sunset i just think i'd like some over in these clouds here. it's not in the photograph, but i don't care just feel like i need something over here so just gonna add it. you know what i mean? why not?
it's just that, you know, a photographer's stuck with whatever they've got but you are an artist, and are never stuck with what's in the photograph so, if you think that it needs some color, for heaven's sakes, put it now, remember serenity was sort of our deal here these were our 2 colors serenity and rose quartz, so let's make some more rose quartz and see if we can't exaggerate that in the sky. it's not in the photograph, but let's exaggerate that in the sky now. let's just come back here
and make that color, which is really magenta and white let's see if we can't as artists particularly when you put it next to the serenity blue let's come up here like that, see if we can't you know, maybe we can just exaggerate this a little bit. why not? you know, just change the sky a little bit now we'll go into the mixing white this is my 2nd layer
of clouds all right, i'm exaggerating these clouds but that's the idea when you're painting. we did this first real whispy layer which we don't want to cross over because that will make the clouds are water vapor, so you don't want puffy snow white, little bow peep clouds so, i'm just gonna come up here like this, and all my brush strokes are high enough. i'll do it real slow look, they're just
down and to the right. kind of curved and down and to the right. keep going curved and down and to the right. if you're left handed, i don't know what to tell you (laughing) but that's how i'm painting it ok, so there you go. there's my clouds. that's a nice sunset then i'm gonna take the brush we're gonna exaggerate our, with a little white paint we're gonna exaggerate our sun here a little white
put some white over this titanium now so, see, here's my sun, right here ok, so there's a little white spot where my sun is and then i can take a little tiny bit of yellow and come out sideways from it like that. i'm putting a little bit of yellow on top of some of this and see, exaggerating that, too underneath there. all right, so there's our...that's this
so, this is a good place if you're i think this is a good place. we've got a nice sunset here which i like and i think i would like when i'm looking this, i think i would like some softer clouds up here so, i'm gonna just go ahead with a little bit of mixing white and soften some of this that's the rose quartz color and get another layer of this acrylics dry darker, so sometimes you think you're ok
and you're just not. and i want some more rose quartz over here i just do. it's not in her picture, but it's gonna be in ours cause, you know what? i want some of this pink color over here i just like it a lot, and we're gonna put it over here all right, let's just bring some more of this pink down that's what i love about it, you can look at something and say "what could we do?" and then i'll put a little bit of maybe some pure magenta on top of that somewhere. it's just a little bit give it a little pizzaz there! ah!
tap that on there while it's still wet, ok? so, now that's a pretty, that's a pretty sunset, isn't it? i think that looks good. all right, let's move on now and we're gonna go on and we're gonna do the beach and the water. and then we'll come back and check our sky and see if there's anything else that we wanna put in the sky to make it more interesting, or if we like it just the way it is so we're gonna stop this here all right, so make sure you've got a hair dryer handy and you've dried it. and now we're gonna work on our next phase of the picture acrylics, you always start with the farthest thing
and work your way down, so now i wanna do this ocean and the beach, and i'm just gonna show you real quick the picture. all right? so, let's take our sort of let's see, let's take a little yellow and orange same brush, now i'm gonna come down here across my beach area like this and add some of this orange color
to the beach. the beach is is, this is what made this picture so pretty was this this beach color. and i want some of my serenity color in here, too i'm gonna add that a little bit of white and this is where, as artists, we get away with a lot take a little bit of this, i guess serenity was the blue color, i'm talking about the rose quartz i'm gonna take some of that rose quartz color and move it down here into the beach
neat, huh? so, down here and then, as i get down toward my left of the beach it goes a little purple. and i just want you to see my reference here. see how it's all curled up here, but see how, here's my reference. see how it's going a little purple over here so, now i'll grab a little bit of my dioxazine purple and put that over here on this side on my yellow
with a little bit of the magenta in it grab about half, a bunch of magenta and put in there warm that up why do you have to buy magenta? why couldn't you just mix it? well, red is one of your primary colors if you think about your color wheel you know, you may have heard the word 'primary' here's your color wheel red, yellow and blue are primaries. you can't mix those. so, if somebody comes up with some sort of unusual red
it's very unlikely that you're gonna make it or get close to is. so, let's keep going into the magenta as we go right ok? and, of course, it's gonna look different because we're going over yellow, than if we'd just gone over white, which is why you do all these underpaintings might even let a little bit of this yellow show through and i'll show you a little trick if i want some yellow to show through here see, already it's looking better, isn't it? you're going "we just did a few things"
i'm gonna rinse my brush, and i'm gonna come up here like this, and i'm gonna erase some of my color now look, if i erase it, this is how you do it you wet your brush and rinse it off. like mopping a floor. it's the same principle just come in here like this and pick up here's my sunset, so this is where my yellow stripe's gonna be underneath here
i'm gonna erase some of that. i could've just painted around it, but nothing's like more wonderful than showing you tricks on how to erase something now, my underpainting's nice and dry ok, otherwise you'd just erase the whole thing have to make sure this is dry. in fact, oftentimes i'll do an underpainting the night before and really let it dry you know, just go away from it. there, now look. see?
but it's actually better, cause it has a little blendy quality when you do it. see how i'm erasing this because i want the highlight of the sun in my sand so, rinse see like that? and then wipe, swipe. because, really, it's the floor mopping principle here ok, we wanna say that we're we're just doing some highlights on the beach it's a great trick, isn't it? and just you need a little place in there like that ok, and then i'm gonna come up across here. some of these
now, do i need to go up closer to the ocean? a little bit, maybe, but not much you can rinse a little bit more out there. rinse. wipe. swipe a little bit of white. now i've got this little bit of light area right down from my sun so, i can kind of ignore this one a little bit. here's some pinks. ok. like this make sure i'm going all the way out to the edge of my canvas all right, now that's sort of fun. we've got sort of an interesting beach area here a little bit of magenta and mixing white now
gonna put some of that over here on top of this to give it sort of this sandy look now i'm just gonna ok, a little bit of mixing white coming over here like this, kinda scribbling it this is my sand on top of this. it just sort of looks like a sort of wet sand zigzag it back and forth. all right, like that mixing white doesn't do much
so, it's a good trick here we go, just put a little like this ok, just, i wanna just say that there's some water kinda playing around here like this. this is a little mixing white here's the trick. you put it on one side of the brush like this. you see that? let's zoom in. this is a great trick. if you haven't learned this trick, this is awesome! all right, so we've gotta bring it forward
and you the brush, have paint on one side of the brush. in this case, it's mixing white kind of bend it toward you and then lean it to the right and push just as you shake the brush you deposit a little bit of a white edge. some people say "i can't paint that thin white edge" but you deposit this little white edge here. see that? kinda like the beach coming up. kinda the water coming into the shore now there's some rocks and stuff here, but this is sort of a cool deal, isn't it? just, paint on one side, kind of a little glob
and i'll put it in. let's see how far does it come? it sorta comes up this way there we go, see? a little bit of white and say that here's a little bit of white coming up to the shore here. a little bit of this. this is our, this is our beach coming up. make it very simple we're not trying to get this too complicated yeah, all right, so while this is drying, let's play with the water. oh! yeah! let's do that. so, what do we know? well, we know that this line here has to be very straight and i despair with this because sometimes people have the hardest time getting a straight line
this is where tape comes in. i'm gonna show you a trick. a good trick if your horizon line isn't straight, the whole thing is lost. just really crazy. so this is artist's tape i've got it i'm gonna come up just a tiny bit into my sunset. i know this is a straight line. let's just make sure and i'm gonna pull, pull the tape. pull it. and just set down one side and then make sure you've got it right and it's gotta be just slightly above what you painted, ok? like, so i've gotta go up slightly a little bit above ok, so if i'm thinking this is right
i don't know it's right. thisis what rulers are for let's double check so, i'm gonna go off of this side. i'm gonna say i have it at i'm just using my tape here, but i guess i've got it at exactly 4 1/2 here and what do we have it over here? 4 1/2 look at, do we have it at 4 1/2? no. what do we have? 4 1/2 here to the edge of the ruler, so i've gotta come down a little bit on this side that's right, you can pick up the page and put it down. 4 1/2
all right, really take a moment and measure that. make sure you're right, ok? and then take a little pallet knife and squish it down. this is really important. squish it down like that, ok? and then i want you to come back with a brush and paint, you never paint under tape. you always paint over. ok? so, this is our underpainting. now we're gonna get serious now and paint the water so, water is generally, it's dark it's sunset, so it's gonna be dark. so we're gonna take a little ultramarine blue and phtlalo blue
maybe a tiny bit of purple and we're just gonna paint over this tape like this just right on top of this like that a little bit more purple to it. i want it kinda dark back here ok, we're artists, so we don't have to you gotta give yourself a little leeway. all right so paint right over the tape. kinda overlap the tape, like that and that way you've got a straight line people always say "i can't paint a straight line." of course you can
all right, so in here, what we're gonna do, we're gonna break up this water we've got this dark color. i think i'll even put a little cad red medium in this in this ultramarine blue like 1% and i want some darker water up in the front here. and i'm just going to do some streaks across my underpainting like this. cause i just want to say i've got some darker water and then i will take a moment and dry all this all right
just, i did a few little streaks across here like this. and i'll just dry it. all right, so we've dried it. now i'm gonna put in a rock and i'm gonna use a piece of chalk here and i'm gonna say i've got some sort of rock here that's coming here on the beach kind of a wiggly rock maybe right here. it's kind of in the middle. let's put a smaller one over here, ok? and we could have a couple back here. it's in the picture. but we've got a rock here ok, there's just a couple little ones
all right, so i'm going to do a couple little rocks. do we need to do brown to see those? let's see. how about a little brown rock right here? ok all right, now here's the trick if the rock is dark, you've gotta have some light water behind here or you won't be able to see the rock so, there's a rule in light, it may not be in the photograph, but wherever there's a light, there's a dark so, what we're gonna do is that we're gonna take, first off i'm just gonna take some
dark color which is burnt umber and purple a little cad red medium i'm gonna paint it in my rock i'm gonna just paint that in and make sure your rock is kind of jaggedy. in other words, if you climbed on it it might tear your pants or cut your knees it's gotta be jaggedy on the edges. don't make it round we're flat on the bottom. we're sitting flat on the sand, all right?
maybe there's another little piece that's sticking out here like that all right, little rock flat on the bottom, little tiny one here, ok. now, that makes it more interesting. and then, i think we said we were going to put a couple back here ok, now you can't really see them cause we've got all this dark purple stuff. so, we'll have to fix that. but that's this is what painting's all about. so, now. all right, so we're gonna fix it. we've got that and those are our rocks i might want to say that there's a shadow underneath these rocks
but, before i do that, we're gonna dry them ok, so just gonna dry everything. painted the rocks, now we're drying them. ok, so i've dried these now, what we need to do is to make it sort of light around the rocks let's take let's take a little bit of our let's see a minute, i'm gonna just refer to our photo here for a second let's take a little bit of our serenity color and some of our
which is that blue and maybe even some of our magenta pink color, which is the quartz start with the quartz a little bit of magenta, a little bit of white a little bit of here, let's just come back behind our rock here like this just like that with a little bit of the magenta color and paint it there, like this
ok, and maybe even in the front of the beach, the front of this rock here. it may come over here like this remembering you can layer over anything so, make this rock, give it a little bit of a dip here, make it more interesting i'm gonna refine, refine the shape of the rock just by you know, taking another color around it, kind of giving it a little dip in here like this it's just not an old straight line rock like that.
maybe under here. ok? there's that. now i'm gonna just say i want a little bit of that serenity color back in here where the water's coming up to the shore let's see. a little bit more of the ultramarine blue ok, where the water's coming up to the shore, we're gonna lighten this up around this rock, make sense? just sorta where the rock's coming up here there's our beach
and kind of melt these two together ok, so now, ooh! see, now it's starting to starting to make sense to you, right? here's our our lighter water it's coming along back here. even behind these rocks here to say we're back behind the beach. i'm still using that angle brush let me just pull off the tape real quick. i'll show you what that does. look at that. there, pulling off the tape
(ginger chuckles) hey, wad it up and then put it in water cause that loosens all the glue. and then throw it away otherwise, you have tape everywhere my problem is if i've used it on one side, i'm thinking it's still good, so i'm going to hang the tape on something thinking i can i could recycle this. i could use this at least twice. i only have paint on one side of it which is true. it does use again. but, then i end up with little tape strips all over the studio which is a little weird people are going "what's going on in here?" all right, so i've got my light behind these rocks and i just want you to see what
a difference that makes when you do that, ok? and now we need some bits of light back here in the water. i'm not going to put any waves, particularly we could have maybe one. maybe i'll come back later and do one, but as as the water goes back it gets thinner and just sort of always keeping straight lines using the angle brush. i'm gonna mist my paint a little bit gonna just come back here on top of all this with this little bit of white highlighted lines, almost like whitecaps but they're light blue. that's our nice serenity color
serenity blue ok, just keep coming back here like this like that, and then right back here, maybe i'll just lighten up this right by my horizon line, i'll just maybe make this a little bit lighter all right, now i'm gonna say i've got one wave here all right, let's break it down and put one wave right here. so, i'm gonna come up here like this with dark. whenever a wave raises it's little body up into the air, it's dark. so, we're gonna say we've got one little wave up here with some dark paint
it's like that. dark purple or something. just one little wave and let's put some serenity behind it, or rather, rose quartz behind it that'll really make this wave stand out, so if we did that let's pull the rose quartz behind it and i've had blue and all kinds of colors on that so, what does that mean? and when you're looking at something like that, that's just got want this sort of pink color behind this wave to make the wave show up. so, like the rocks, wherever there's a light, there's a dark. so if this wave is showing up now, i'm gonna put a little of this serenity color
in the water, too. i keep saying serenity, it's rose quartz in the water, too and maybe up even in the front of this wave over the blue. just up in front here ok, here's our wave. does that make sense? putting it up here like that and i'm keeping it all over in this side of the this side of the painting, all the light pink stuff that's coming over on this side of the picture
behind this wave here ok, like that. that's our wave and water. now the very top of this wave i'm gonna just put some white on my brush and do that same thing. remember how i showed you how you sort of put it on one side and then lay it down? see how this wave is now showing up? you just put one side of the wave kinda hold it like this
then lean it and kind of push it and shake kind of wiggle the brush as you go great trick, isn't it? coming this way like this, there we go now, what happened to the end of this wave? well, it just sort of dissipates back in here. it goes away back over here, right? but that's our wave and you got one wave. and the rest of this is just sort of little tiny bits of white and i guess i've got to put some blue back in between
so, i'll come back here with little bits of blue never worry if you just don't get it right the first time. you know where the blue paint is you know where the pink paint it. just keep working it till it kind of looks like you want it to all right, so there's the blue behind it. there's our sunset. ok? now, right up at the front here, looking at the picture, there was another little dark area of wave i'm going to just show you here. right up in here in the sand there was just that little dark bit but i think we're gonna just bring the instead, we're gonna change it a little bit
and bring some light color like kind of this blue color up here to the front of these rocks all right, so we're gonna say that that's the front, and we're gonna just get a little bit lighter in front of these rocks here cause i want my rocks to show up you know? all right. so, we're gonna say, there's our rocks are showing up. now what happens in this wave? we've gotta end it somehow
so, we're gonna have it where it's breaking over take a little mixing white, and we're going to break it over right here where it just sort of it just did this, then went away there we go. did that and went away. i like that. do you like that? maybe it should break over here, too. doesn't matter what it did in her picture, in her photograph. we're not stuck with that absolutely we are not this wave would've changed in a second if you know, after she took the picture, it looked totally different
ok, so i'm going to break that wave right there, too. and maybe it's starting and wanting to break here there's our wave. and we've got a little bit of light back in here our beach now, let's get a little bit of pink behind these rocks which is really what we're calling rose quartz today and it is sort of a magenta pink ok, a little bit of pink behind those rocks
maybe up in here like this now, why don't, let's work on our beach a little bit ok, so we've got one more thing to do. i think i'm gonna dry all this and work on our beach cause this is a little muddy over here. we're not really sure what's going on here but we've got some nice water, don't we? looks pretty good let's see what's going next ok, so i've dried this. now i want to work on this beach area here and my rocks a little bit i still feel like i don't see my rocks in this, so
that's easy. let's take a little bit of our magenta and come behind the rocks here a couple places gonna just lighten this up you know, even erase a bit of rock so that i can i can see the light color. let's see if i can zoom in for you show you what i did remember that rule, wherever there's a light, there's a dark, so if you can't see something
that doesn't matter, just fix it let me take a little blue back here where our wave is you know, every once in a while, just dry something you know, it doesn't hurt to just dry it ok, now let's take a little of that pink color and go over that so it's not so white moving kind of sideways all right, so there's my rock. i can see that
now, over on this rock i think i want to go into the blues. probably this ultramarine blue and a little white let's just lighten this one up over here we said there were some rocks behind here and then what about in front? well, this is where we could take a little bit of, say, magenta and white and blue, you know gonna be making a different purple
and come with a little more white with it and come in front of this rock here like that ok, so it's still on the beach here so that the tide's coming in around this little back rock and i'm just gonna sorta zigzag some of this color over the dark sort of purpley white, purple color
ooh, that's pretty. i like that what else can we do? ooh! let's put some of that over here, too. that's pretty. that sort of light blue. let's let's get a little bit of that going. a little bit of the blue reflecting in the in the on top of the sand here. some light blue. that's pretty let's put some of our serenity back here ooh! i like that! yes, that's looking pretty good
now ooh! i know what i want to do! i want to put a little bit of white right next to here. this rock right here ok, a little bit of light color right there how about under here? oooh! let's take a little orange. we haven't done any. a little bit of yellow and cad red medium let's let's take a little bit of orange now and see where we can put some orange, ok?
ooh! zoom in a little on this. don't you think this is fun? i mean, this is where it gets good is you go around, and you start saying "here's my colors" you know? this is all about, people used to come in the art galleries and they'd say what they liked the most about my paintings was color and you notice we're not using black. black, really, when you want to kill something fast, use black . black kills, in my opinion, kills colors really quick unless you're doing an abstract or something all right, so i'm putting a little orange there. bright orange. and then maybe right in here, too and that's that cad red medium and yellow
just a touch of that right in here brighten that up there. ooh! nice, huh? that's pretty. and then, what about a few little bits of orange on top of this. now, just streaking it in here, like that ooh, that's lovely, like that. i can look in the monitor and see this. you know, one of the things you should be doing is holding your picture up to the to a mirror or something every once in a while and checking it out. or standing back from it and i'm able to do this because
i've got a monitor, so i can just look at it in the monitor you know, one thing we don't have, and we'll do this now is take a little bit of burnt umber some of our rock color, and let's put a little shadow down here in the beach, in the sand a little bit of burnt umber that's the reflection of the rock in the sand all my brush strokes are going sideways like this. see, we're reflecting this rock
in the sand here. it's gonna be slightly lighter than the rest of it so, when we do this we've lost some of our nifty highlights. which is ok, i'll put them back but we do have to reflect the rock even this one should reflect just a little bit, ok? a little bit of dark underneath there. then i'll come across in front of it with a little bit of this orange color and go right in front of this, like this
there, so now you can kind of, now that looks more like the reflection. and i can even break this up a little bit and let's see, let's do serenity, because that's what we, or rose quartz because that's what we said this picture was supposed to be about i keep looking at the photograph, wanting to do that, but i'm gonna add a little bit of this pink color to this, too there, ok? that's nice now, i'm not gonna worry about that picture anymore. now we're just gonna do our thing time to zoon back out and take a look. what do we got? well, it's getting there. that's really kind of neat. i'm not sure about all of this
yet, so let's take a little bit of white here. and i'm gonna say that there's here it is on the angle brush gonna come down in here like this and add a little bit of a waves coming to the shore here, maybe at an angle ok, this doesn't have to be straight. they can be coming kind of at an angle in here, sideways like this come across here like this and say that maybe there's some water
like this that's come across there like this and i'm gonna darken up this corner it's dark in this picture, too. i just wanted you to see it. there's a dark shadow in this picture, too. but that's good it's good to darken up your corner. so, let's take a little bit of purple maybe a touch of cad red medium, like 1% and let's darken up this corner, right in here this will make a difference to the bottom of your, you know the bottom of your picture
and darken this up and, let's see. i don't want i want to, kind of melt it into the sand a bit more than i've got so. just put some red over it now, i'm gonna rinse the brush and, let's see...take a little bit of blue, maybe put over this ok, i just want this
to be a little bit darker where's our magenta? yeah. there we go. the very bottom here, let's kinda all right, that's, oh! that's better.maybe coming in here just a hair this way, so it's just not you know, so even you can have a little dark right here i'm kinda playing in between the blue and the magenta and the purple
all right, i've got it all dark over in this corner, it's pretty dark all over here darken this up darken that up maybe rinse the brush and see what i can do about this. let's take a little bit of orange now. that's cad yellow medium and cad red medium going over this just a little bit so it's not so
abrupt right there see what i just did? i mean, it's still dark in this corner, but it's not so abrupt let's see, a little bit of magenta, pink right here there, all right, so i'm gonna erase this bit right here there we go, erase that. remember how you erase? rinse, wipe, swipe there, so soften this, but we've still sort of contained it
there, you know we've got our you know, and then, let's see do i want to do anything to my rocks? i wanna come up here and maybe fix the top of a rock a little bit oh, hey, the rocks are really not the main the main thing here, all right? so, let's see, i just wanna say that just make sure that there's a shadow under this one, too they're not the main thing but they're in the picture, and they sort of break it up, which is nice. ok?
now i'm just gonna come back and add some highlights when you're thinking about this turquoise is opposite orange. so any time you can throw orange and turquoise together, you're not wrong, either all right, so that's another thing to think about, too and i'm just going to figure out that there's this dark wave let's see, let's get our dark wave going here i wanna make sure that i've got this dark wave coming back this way and you've got, maybe a couple back here just kind of looking at the overall feel of the picture to make sure that we've got it
that's a little of our serenity color this way if we need anything up in here just like this. just a little bit, maybe a little blue back up in here. this little spot right here needs something i keep looking at the picture. now, what about over here? maybe something over here. ok, so i just want it, kind of, you know make sure that i've got some lines going off the canvas like that all right, so this looks pretty good. i'm liking this i could have a little bump right here
in the rock you know, i went behind it with the light and this is very you know, sometimes you can put a little dark shadow underneath your right up in here, where the beach, you know, when the sand gets wet sometimes it gets darker, so let's put a little bit of dark shadow right here there underneath that wave and mixing white
a little bit of mixing white up in here rinse my brush. i think we're about done you know, if you guys have enjoyed painting oceans and you like that i think i have one other ocean on youtube, you know, a wave, but you know in my regular weekly classes, i've got i do oceans all the time. i've got i've got a master class on just oceans, and here's an example of that let me zoom back out so you can see it i just want to mention that
other way, zooming back out. i've got a master classes, let me just pick this up for a second and show you. i've got a master class on just waves and water i add a new one every month. here's another good example of of an ocean and a sunset, ok. and so, if you're having fun doing this, if you want to, i'm just going to ask you to go ahead and check out my website, gingercooklive.gallery i have all kinds of weekly lessons, plus i'm up on youtube live twice a week and those lessons are recorded
and go back in our library for our members and then the neat thing about it is you can send me your pictures and then i will make comments so, i just want to add that before we finish our final stuff here i want to add that, and i want to just, you know give a little shout out to myself seems fair, right? i feel like i need a little white under here a little bit of white
and you know, i'm sorry. we didn't use a couple of those colors, but i i'll mention that in the thing we didn't use the yellow oxide and we didn't use the burnt sienna just want a little bit of this white here there we go, just continue on with this there we go, better? ok? i think that's kind of neat, don't you? i don't want to get this so complicated for you that you don't want to do it, but this is sort of i think this is sort of fun
this was a fun, fun project and i really, i hadn't thought about putting, you know i don't paint a lot of pinks and blues like this, so that's serenity and rose quartz this was a fun project, and check out what the other artists have done you know, look at our hashtag and just kind of put that into the youtube search engine i know my daughter's done one. there's another gal jane, and she, gosh, she did this flamingo that's just she made the flamingo the serenity color. it's just gorgeous. i'm telling you, there's some beautiful pictures out here
that are this see, i just keep going sideways with this little angle brush, and add a few little things but i think we've got a pretty good got a pretty good sky going here i don't, now when i look back up, do i want to do anything else to the sky? you know, the only thing i might consider doing, you know might, might i would be, maybe to lighten up the sky in a couple places, that serenity color lighten it up, maybe up into here a little bit. maybe just get it a little bit lighter up into here as i come into the pink
you know, just lighten up that sky, just in a couple places and maybe change this this here, just a little bit, ok. lighten it up here, maybe in here a little bit where it sort of dissapates this is what i love about acrylics is you have this ability to
to come back and look at what you've done and say "do i like it, do i want to change something else?" and i don't think i do i think that this came out pretty well. i want to thank our friend, jan russ from pmp, paint my photo for using her photo as sort of an inspiration for this you know, i have whole things on just doing clouds, and we could spend more time maybe even on the clouds a bit, but honestly, i think that for a fun, you know, sunset, i think that we've got a good one
and like i say, sunsets change all the time i mean, every few seconds, if you look at them, they're different. so if your sunset looks different than mine, that's gonna be ok don't go "it doesn't look exactly like hers" no two paintings are gonna look exactly alike and i have a pintrest board, gingercooklive all one word on pintrest, and you'll, if you go to my online student gallery and if you email me your pictures, i'll put them up on there, too
you'll see people all do the same picture and they'll all be slightly different they'll all be slightly different, so that's gotta be ok and again, at some point, you just gotta say "i'm gonna stop." this is it. i'm gonna stop. i'm loving this, though. it's just so fun to keep playing with it. (ginger laughs) oh! i'll stop! i'll stop. there. serenity. i think that's got, serenity blue and rose quartz
and maybe i will call this serenity sunset. what do you think? i think that sounds good. i'll use that word serenity sunset, there's our two two pantone colors, the colors of the year and now you'll know what those are incidently, i was told one time that if you go to a when they hold that conference, i guess you can pay to go put in your 2รข¢ worth about what you want the colors to be one of my friends went one time, and she said her company
that made prints paid $5,000 for her to attend that was at (?) watzinger in los angeles and this is why, a lot of times, when you go to stores where the furniture or whatever comes from, it's imported and none of their stuff matches our stuff, it's because they didn't go to the conference they went to the european conference which is (?), natchez so if you're watching this in canada
or you're watching this in england, or europe or something these aren't your colors. these were just the colors that those manufacturers in the us decided were the 2016 colors so, thanks for watching, and i'm gonna zoom in, and just take a moment and you know, just enjoy the rocks and the sky, and i want everyone to have a wonderful day, and you know subscribe to my channel, hit some likes. this is all very nice, we appreciate the comments you make and feel free to share
and just enjoy the day
