hey i'm cinnamon cooney your art sherpa today i'm going to show you how easy it is to paint a fabulous day at the beachget your paint get your brushes come back and meet me the easel are right now i'mgoing to show you how you can paint this come on let's go so let's look at thematerials we're going to use today for this incredibly sublimely easy paintingthat you're going to paint at home i have an eleven by fourteen canvas boardhere this is pre-gesso'd t it doesn't need another thing for you to do topaint on it over here i have all the colors i need for this magnificentpainting that's three colors i have titanium white yellow ochre and phthaloblue i've got a couple cups of water so
i can thin my paint and i'm ready to getstarted so the first thing that i'm going to do is i'm going to grab a bigwide flat brush see this brush right here i'm going to put in my sky so i'mgoing to dip in the water i'm going to drag this off this brush is syntheticelements and it's not going to over hold water for me so it's going to put justthat right amount it's made for acrylic painting i'm going to just load my brushup really well with the white and then i'm going to come in and get just alittle bit of blue on my brush i'm going to come to my canvas this is the halfwaymark i'm going to come about oh gosh what three inches below that i'm goingto go back and forth
look at this making this really nicelight sky if you need some more white paint come over here dip your brush comehere blowing both sides to breezy there we govery streaking nice day all right here you go up up up up up now i want thisguy to get darker as i go up so this time i'ma load my white paint but i'mgoing to get some more blue onto it there we goi'm going to just blend these two areas as i'm going upinto each other back and forth this is just about a wide brush and having thepaint be still wet to get the blend all right pushing the paint out of my brushand anytime i get white streaks it
starts to feel like clouds which isreally nice i'm going to come get my brush a little bit wet pull out a littlemore of my blue paint take it over my white i'm going to just make sure thetop of the painting has a nice sort of very dark sky color to it there we govery little just lightly dragging that down and i'm making sure everything ishorizontal now i'm going to rinse out my brush wipe it off only to the side drymy painting and use a really cool trick to make sure that my horizon line islevel which is the key to this painting so i'm going to come right here let meget what is called a t-square and i'm going to line it up to the edge of mycanvas on the side and i'm going to use
my chalk line this is right at just asmidge a hair above the halfway point of my canvas if i didn't have a t-square icould use a folded paper towel and line up the corners on the edges here and getthe same level horizon for my horizon line so there's a lot of ways to getthis done that you don't got to worry about it alright i'm going to take anumber 10 bright this is a nice big fat bright with a stiff synthetic elementi'm going to come over here i'm going to get the brush wet drag off the extrawater i'm going to take a little of my yellow ochre to my white and i'm goingto make kind of a streaky nice light sand color i'm going to paint the edgeof my canvas with this light color i'm
going to let the streaks happen get mybrush and water if i need better flow just coming up if i'm going to come toabout here with this color a little more the goal if you need ityou want to keep your sand a fairly light color because that way you candarken where the wave is going over it it's going to give you a nice result i'mgoing to rinse out my bright and i'm going to make my faraway water color somy faraway water color is a little bit of my yellow ochre in my phthalo bluenotice how it makes this crazy cool oceanic kind of green all right there wego so i'm going to come along the far back edge making sure that i amfollowing my mark i have a level far
away horizon line that's really kind ofthe key for me here just carefully doing that before this dries i'm going to geta little more blue into it and a little white into my mix you need to add somewater definitely now i'm going to just brushback and forth as i'm going painting in this abstract each day now you mightneed to put out more white so that you have enough as you go down probably evena little more than that this is me getting paint all over my hands as perthe usual and i'm going to just keep adding a little white into that makesure and if you need to a little of the blue just blending these areas into eachother this is the ocean coming forward
very marine and that's what you want isa very marine oshin there we goking us a little bit wet grab a little blue add a little white just come in andstreak these in so this is like the sky reflecting in the trick is try to keepthese brushstrokes level this is going to be where it's really important tokind of keep it totally together now and then coming into this range of thecanvas which is a little bit above the halfway point a little more color hair between the edge of my beach where itends on my canvas and this i'm going to want to get a little more yellow onto mybrush so it's almost like a green and if
you need to you can even wipe off alittle the extra pigment and then i'm going to get a lot of white to make myup close surf color i'm definitely going to go a little bit at least an inch downso see how this is wet and this is wet these blend together when you do thatwhen acrylic paint is wet it blends now that i have this two here i need to makea little wave story and it's really interesting how i'm going to make thislittle wave story get a little more paint on your brush and i'm going tocome right here just below it i'm going to tell a funny little story and it'sgoing to be a little laundry story right so how we do is we wander up we wanderdown and we come up just meander across
your own canvas right my little marine color ends thisis very very light in three he see how sturdy this is but it's not white itneeds to be dark enough with the white will show up on top of it i'm going torinse this out and put this to the side for a second i'm going to get a smallerbrush this is a number four bright this is a number four bright and i'm going tomake sure if enough clean white out that i can do this next part alright i'mgoing to get a little white on my brush this number four bright i'm going tocome into my abstract ocean here i'm going to make some light streaks this issea foam or some distance disturbance in
the water these streaks need to bedifferent lengths you don't want to make them all the same length i'm going tojust have them just placed randomly around as you come up into the whitecome on here make a frothy a little bit of a story along this edge that you sortof sketched in the paint should be thick see how that stick on my brush i'm justtelling that edge of this wave it's just a little bit rolling into the shoreisn't it now you can even take it far out ahead of its friends with the whiteor this little toe of it has pushed into the shore there you go you're nearlydone three colors just a few brush strokesyou can have a whole painting that's
what's wonderful about art just fillingin the slip here keeping my brush strokes short so that they're choppy sothat it mimics that wave feeling that we like and then let's make sure we addsome frothy little story back here just little disturbances right it's a littledisturbance right there little disturbances now that that's all doneits rinse rinse rinse rinse that out come and get a little of your yellowochre and right along the bottom of this wave make a little shadow dark in thesand just a little bit dark in the sand oh yeah turk can darken dirt you can seesometime because yellow ocher is often a little transparent almost working in ourfavor here because it's acting like a
glaze are you coming along hands makesure we just tell this little shadow to come along the way shadow the light has hit it all right you can soften this if you want to thiseffect self-admit just don't pick up the white now i'm going to get the brush i'mgoing to sign with and i'm going to make it even one more shadow this is a numberzero black pearl round will come here and i'm going to make my paint a littlemore fluid all right here we go you're doing great see how i'm dippingthe brush in my water and coming here and finding it out so that makes alittle bit more like a flow paint and
i'm going to come just along this waveã¤j-- define the shadow a little bit moregoing to pick up a little the green that's okay what we want just wanderingalong there if it gets a little defined come in itthere you saw semantics a little bit of that shadow google mightcome back with a little of my ogre just make sure push that back a smidge nowi'm going to find a place to sign my painting and i take my little brush andi'm going to get my yellow ochre i think i'm gonna come right under here chefbefore the wave is about to erase it i will write my name in the sand you canput your signature anywhere you want to
on the beach you can hide things putshells it's really up to you or you can just leave this a lovely abstract piecethat you can enjoy on your wall today could that have been easier isn't itamazing how easy painting actually is good to yourselves be good to each otherand i'm going to see you i think you'll really soon bye bye you
