How to paint the color of the beach

[@judysali]

Janhendrik, Your unselfish instruction is superb, so many masters don't dare share their techniques. You have answered many questions about the hue of the sand. You are so right; every beach has different colors. I greatly appreciate your teaching and buying your videos are the very best to educate myself to improve. THANK YOU!

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thank you so much , Judy, for your kind comment. Good to hear my videos have been helpful. My pleasure, really.

I'm a big fan. Your work is absolutely wonderful. I bought your video about painting clouds and it truly is a wealth of information.

PHENOMENAL! Thank you ..

[@kevinmcmillan4919]

I wish I had that gift. Absolutely love drawing and painting but I don't have the talent or the eye. GREAT residential and commercial painter. LOL!!!😅 But its truly awesome to see someone talented like yourself who inspires me no matter how bad my painting or drawing is to keep at it. BEAUTIFUL WORK!👍

[@PaintingSkies1]

It's all a matter of putting in the hours, Kevin. I'm not an exceptionally talented painter, but I just kept at it. Put in the hours and you'll get better.

Perfect way to start the New Year …. thinking about the subtleties of color, light and water on the beach, your beach, any beach, anywhere. Definitely a safe space outside in this 2nd Covid winter and a luminous space to paint inside the studio. Thanks so much for this “vacation video” for the imagination.👩🏻‍🎨😷😷😷👩🏻‍🎨

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thank you for your kind words. Painting is indeed a great a safe space where you don't have to worry about the world for a while. Keep painting!

Particularly usefull as the Cape Cod waters & landscapes here are a near exact match . Except for the snow , 10 degree F temps & a ton of wind . Your tips will be handy in a dunescape painting I'm presently doing the photography for . Fantatastic job on the video !.

[@lesleykoenig2041]

Very informative. Thank you! Beautiful large scale seascape. It makes me wish to see Scheveningen again--this time in warm weather instead of the winter. Readers, do you know that this is where Old Holland had a factory? That's how that gorgeous color, Scheveningen Blue got its name.

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thanks, Lesley! You're right, Old Holland is sometimes even called Scheveningen paint in the Netherlands. The company started as early as 1664 when the guilds started producing their paint together. It is still one of the better oil paints on the market.

[@PaintingSkies1]

I work on 6mm MDF board. I did a short article about it on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2015/01/canvas-or-board.html. Hope this helps!

[@sabasami1454]

Does MDF board stay in shape ??

[@PaintingSkies1]

@@sabasami1454 You have to cradle the larger panels, to prevent curvature. In an article on my blog there's a picture that may be helpful: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2015/01/canvas-or-board.html.

[@babycakes9337]

What is the equivalent colour to brilliant yellow please? On my screen it looks a lot like yellow ochre

[@PaintingSkies1]

I see what you mean. Yellow ochre is more brown than brilliant yellow, though. If you mix yellow ochre with cadmium yellow, you might get close.

[@sunsetpalms1923]

It looks like Naples yellow, red shade, it's like a "flesh" color

[@Madky5ob]

You are awesome 🎉

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thank you!

[@hulyak.466]

I wonder if, by any chance, you might have any suggestion on removing from oil painting without ruining the painting?

[@PaintingSkies1]

Do you mean when the paint is still wet or after it has dried?

[@hulyak.466]

Thank you for answering. After it has dried.

[@hulyak.466]

@@PaintingSkies1 I finished my painting & warnished with clear spray paint a few times and it is now messed up😞 I am looking for a way to rescue it as I really love it

[@PaintingSkies1]

@@hulyak.466 I'm sorry to hear that. Messing up a painting you're satisfied with is the worst. Removing oil paint after it has dried is almost impossible, though it takes a long time (up to a year) until it's really dry. When you talk about spray paint do you mean spray varnish? Removing varnish is no problem. All you need is a soft cloth and turpentine. By gently rubbing the surface with a moist cloth you can remove the varnish.

[@PaintingSkies1]

One more thing: you probably varnished your painting before it was really dry and that may have messed up your painting. My advice would be to wait until you're sure this time the painting is really dry. Otherwise you may do even more damage with a moist turpentine cloth!

[@thepawvoydoghotel9740]

Thank you❤

[@PaintingSkies1]

My pleasure!

[@jennifergottliebel-azhari149]

Can we use another grey not sepia?

[@PaintingSkies1]

Sure, Jennifer. I often used van Dyck's brown instead of Sepia (which is also a brown). You could experiment with Payne's Grey and add different colors to it. Success!

[@harryschmidt001]

Your sepia looks blue in this video… maybe the lighting was distorting it. Thanks for sharing. I’m a big fan

The deep colors are sometimes hard to keep apart, especially on a screen. Good to hear you like my work!

so you use indigo as payne;s gray?

More or less, though in my experience Payne's Gray has a more purple undertone.

I'm surprised by your choice of brush, but then again I don't know the first thing about oil painting. Pencil, acrylics & watercolour.

I'm curious why you're surprised by my choice of brush. let me know, if you feel like it!

[@robot7759]

@@PaintingSkies1 Stubby pork hair brushes must be good for something I'm sure. Please excuse my ignorance, but as a watercolour and acrilic creative I still cannot find their use at all.

[@PaintingSkies1]

@@robot7759 I can imagine that a water color artist doesn't care for ragged brushes. An acrylic artist (depending on his style) could benefit from their use though.
