Welcome to the incredible, diverse world of painting the ocean, coast, and sea. In this book youll explore how to paint several different seascapes in oil, using a number of simple yet effective techniques. In the process, youll discover the versatility of oil paints, which are forgiving and produce wonderful color. With their long drying time, oils are ideal for blending and can produce areas that are smooth or textured. Oils are a perfect medium to portray the ever-changing moods and drama of this very special subject: the sea.
You dont need a large collection of paint colors or every size brush available at your local art supply store. Begin with just a few basic supplies. Feel free to experiment with the tools and materials presented here and choose the ones that you are most comfortable with.
Oil paints are made up of pigments suspended in oils (such as linseed oil) with additives for durability and consistency. Paint is available in two main qualities: student grade and artist grade. Artist-grade paints contain a higher quality of pigment and fewer additives. Although they are slightly more expensive, they tend to last longer.
Brushes vary greatly in size, shape, and texture. Natural-hair brushes, as opposed to synthetic, work best for oil painting. There are four main brush shapes: round, filbert, flat, and bright. Round brushes taper to a thin point and are good for detail work and fine lines. Filbert brushes taper to a thin point and are good for detail work and fine lines. Filbert brushes are slightly flattened with long bristles, making them good for blocking in large areas and rounding out forms. Flat brushes can hold a lot of paint and are great for creating corners. Bright brushes are similar to flat brushes, but allow for more control. Clean your brushes after each use to keep them in good condition. Remove as much paint as you can with turpentine. Then wipe the bristles with a paper towel, and clean with warm water and mild dish soap.
Palette knives are mainly used for mixing colors on your palette, but some can also be used for applying paint to your canvas or creating texture in your work.
PALETTE CARE TIPS
If the paint has dried on the palette, lay some paper towels on the paint and add turpentine to the towels. Let it soak for a few minutes, and the paint will scrape off easily with a palette knife. Before using turpentine, ensure that you have adequate ventilation.
At the end of a painting session, cover the remaining paint with a sheet of cling wrap, ensuring no air is trapped underneath. This keeps your paint from drying out; the paint will be good for use the next day!
Whatever type of palette you chooseglass, wood, plastic, or papermake sure it is easy to clean and large enough for mixing your colors. Glass is a great surface for mixing paints and is very durable. Palette paper is disposable, so cleanup is simple, and you can always purchase an airtight plastic box (or paint seal) to keep your leftover paint fresh between painting sessions.
The surface on which you paint is called the supportgenerally canvas or wood. You can stretch canvas yourself, but its simpler to purchase prestretched, preprimed canvas (stapled to a frame) or canvas board (canvas glued to cardboard). If you choose to work with wood or any other porous material, apply a primer first to seal the surface so that the oil paints adhere to the support instead of soaking through.
There is a variety of mediums available for oil paint. Different mediums can be used to thicken or thin paint, speed up drying time, etc. Solvents such as turpentine can also be used to thin oil paint or wipe it from the canvas. You can also use turpentine to clean your equipment. Turpentine and mineral spirits are toxic, so take precautions when using these products.
A basic knowledge of color and color relationships is essential in learning how to paint. One of the easiest ways to approach color is by seeing it on a color wheel, which is a visual organization of color hues around a circle. Seeing the colors organized in this fashion is helpful for color mixing and choosing color schemes.
The color wheel helps us see relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Primary colors are blue, red, and yellow. We can create a multitude of other colors by combining blue, red, and yellow in various proportions, but we cant create the three primaries by mixing other colors. Secondary colors include orange, green, and violet. You can create these colors by combining two primaries. Red and yellow make orange, blue and red make violet, and yellow and blue make green. Tertiary colors are created by mixing each primary color with its neighboring secondary color. These colors include red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet.
COMPLEMENTARY COLORS
Complements sit opposite each other on the color wheel. For example, red sits opposite green, blue sits opposite orange, and yellow sits opposite purple. These colors are considered opposites in their hues and yield the maximum amount of color contrast possible. When complements are mixed together, they form a dull gray, brown, or neutral color.
NEUTRAL COLORS
Neutral colors are browns and grays, both of which contain all three primary colors in varying proportions. Neutral colors are often dulled with white or black. Artists also use the word neutralize to describe the act of dulling a color by adding its complement.
