How to Paint CLIFFS AND SEA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- In this video I show you how to paint a coastal seascape featuring cliffs and the ocean around the south coast of Guernsey, a small island located in the English Channel.
In the video I will explain the following:
1. Composition
2. Colours and brushes
3. Blocking in the painting
4. Adding detail
5. Adding final details
I explain how to paint the cliffs and how to make the foliage on the cliffs recede in the distant landforms. I show you how to paint the sea and simplify the complexities of the moving water in a manner that still gives the appearance of a realistic ocean. I explain how to get the tonality of the painting correct, show you how to mix a few colours and much more.
A special thanks to my mother Wendy Pratt who gave me some footage of Icart Point as I forgot to film the area when I visited Guernsey last year!

Happy painting.
Sam
Your information as to what brushes and colors to use most helpful. Also talking through your video helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😀
I like the cliffs very much Sam and enjoyed the video . You are very generous with your instruction and sharing your techniques. Thanks a lot on behalf of all those who learn so much from you.
Thanks for watching Chammi, glad you are enjoying the videos. More videos to come soon 🙂
What I especially enjoy about your video is the confidence with which you make each stroke. I know too well the amount of painting required to get past the "God, I hope this does what I want it to", to the point of "I place this paint in this manner with this brush because I know what it is going to do. I am a subscriber and greatly appreciate your "sharing" of your talent and experience.
Thank You!!!
Thanks Loren, I used to be like that with my painting, a lot of it is practice and getting your brush mileage up. Keep painting, you’ll get better. Thanks for subscribing 😊
Greetings Samuel, I am an absolute beginner oil painting artist. I am currently stuck on cliffs and sea in a Cinque Terre painting. How to paint Cliffs and sea was not only beautiful but totally amazing in the simplicity of your instruction. I am sure this will help me to accomplish my work.Thank you so very much for sharing this with us...I am now one of your new fans ...Best Regards
Thanks Vincent, glad you enjoyed the video, sorry for the late reply. More videos to come soon 😀
Samuel, this is a wonderful tribute to Guernsey. Thank you so much for showing your photos of the area. Excellent instruction and appreciate the color mixing on the pallet. The painting is delightful!
Thanks Karen, glad you liked the video, Guernsey is a beautiful place 🙂
Karin Rankin... Wow...Karen you've really gotten so much better...not that you weren't good from beginning. I watched you when you first posted on RUclips..
And saw you here...Sam is the best landscape artist and teacher.....nice to see your enjoying what you love so...
Maybe try a seascape..
Nice big wave....get brave....
Hi Samuel, I really enjoyed this video. I've watched several times now! I found your video extremely helpful for preparing to paint a photo of a coastal scene that I snapped while hiking in Newfoundland, Canada. I am new to painting and needed instruction on how to begin, or plan a painting. In previous paintings, I just proceeded in the best way I knew how but lacked any real method. I needed a general approach; a formula on how to get paintings started, i.e. taking photos for potential paintings, sketching, colour study, blocking in, adding details...also your explanations about saturation and focal point. Your process really gave me the structure that I was looking for! Thank you!
Thank you so much, really please you enjoyed the video and found it helpful 😀

Awesome painting and tutorial! Thank you so much! Your work is beautiful!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Thankyou for getting me back into painting. You are amazing in your painting and the way you describe everything. May you do this for ages as y will help everyone the same as me.
My pleasure, so happy to hear my videos have inspired you to paint again. Painting is my life so I will continue to keep making videos for you 😊
Maravilhosa aula! Obrigada 💕
Thank you 😊
WOW. I had a hard time seeing it, with that scrambled background,,,,but as soon as you started the water, it all came together for me.
Love the consideration you give to skies, many artists skimp on that in a high horizon painting. Good stuff 😊👍Peter Dee.
Thanks Peter 😊
Beautiful painting. I would never imagine mixing the colours the way you do. It is a new experience. Thanks for sharing . Fabuleus.
Thanks Maria 😊
What a lovely surprise, I live in Guernsey. And yes, it is a beautiful little island! Love your work Samuel.
Thank you very much! I was born in Guernsey and my mum lives on the island. I can't wait to visit Guernsey again 😀
@@SamuelEarpArtist Hi Sam, sorry, just seen your reply! Technology at its best I think! lol I am also Guernsey born, the family go back to around the 1500's so the roots go deep. New Zealand looks gorgeous and so huge compared to little old Guern'. Best wishes, Valerie.
Thank you so much for a wonderful and detailed painting demonstration. Beautiful.
Thanks Prabha 😊
Great. 👍👍
Thanks 😊
Awesome tutorial. Love the tutorials done in real time. You can learn so much more when it is not rushed.
Thanks Cathy 😊
That Island is beautiful! And your painting is stunning. Greatamd kind explanation of yours. I paint in acrylic but maybe I dare to try to paint your scene. Thank you to share.
Thanks Mooshibe, yeah, have a go at painting it, the colour mixing principles and tonality will be exactly the same for acrylics as it is for oils.
What a Joy to see this video. 👌🏽👍🏽
Thanks 😊
Hi, your modesty is disarming! But, for me, you are a Big Artist.... ☺️👏👏👏👏👏👏🙋♀️🇮🇹Ciao
Thank you so much 😀
you have really helped me with color mixing, especially greens. Thank you!
Thanks 😊
Agreed. Green has been my nemesis for years, hard to get it right. This video helped
You are an amazing painter Samuel, outstanding, thanks for sharing! Awesome, awesome!
Thanks 😊
Excellently broken down into stages and explained. The end result looks fantastic.
Thanks 🙂
Superb work sir , having u on you tube is a real blessing, keep on doing great work sir , stay blessed!

Very welcome, thanks for subscribing 🙂
I've been binging your videos this weekend and I think you've taught me more than most of my art classes I've taken lol. Thank you!!
You are so welcome, really pleased you are enjoying the videos, stay tuned for more 😀
Another super fantastic video. Thank you.
Thanks again Steven 😊
You make me want to switch to traditional art for my landscapes. But I get so much out of these tutorials, the influence shows in my recent paintings...
Thanks Anthony 😊
Thank you for explaining the mixing of colours. Was extremely useful.
Thanks 😊
Great tutorial! Love to watch you mix the colors! Quinacridone magenta is a strong color too😀! Great teaching! I can tell you want to share your talent! Thanks for the continued inspiration!
Thanks so much 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist Samuel, you put me to shame, you are so well organised and tidy. To my own defence, I can only paint in the cellar at the moment , too dark and poor lighting. Winter is apon us but I'll keep plodding on , keep on inspiring , I've learnt a lot from your tutorials
Excellent Lesson in painting a Seascape. Will definitely use underpainting in my next painting.
Thanks, I’ll be making more seascape painting videos, stay tuned 😊
Another great and well explained video, lots of useful tips and knowledge. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Liam 🙂
Such a nice video and painting. Your explanations are easy to follow and extremely fluid! Thanks
Thanks Mark 😀
I adore your accent! I just stumbled upon your totorials, and I love the way you explain what you are doing. You are so easy to follow! I just recently got a dagger brush but have not tried it yet. Anxious to see what it can do. Looking forward to your next video! Happy painting!
Thanks Yovette. Yeah those dagger brushes are good, especially for painting rocks. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you. Very much for your kindness.
Thanks Marina 🙂
Thanks for a great video Samuel, I'm enjoying all of them!

Thanks Aju 🙂
Great video! I really enjoyed your explanation of each step as you finished your painting!
Thanks Shelia, glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Beautifully done.
Thanks 😊
amazing!!
très belle peinture! merci beaucoup!
Merci Martin 🙂
Brilliant Samuel. I definitely will try this one. In such short time you gave excellent instructions. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and helping newbie like me. Can I make a suggestion. It would be nice to see your pallet while you show the video. Just looking at it while you paint maybe we can gauge the value easier. Sorry for this. I still love your work.
Thanks Marina, glad you liked the video. Don't worry I'll be making longer more in-depth videos where I'll be showing all the colour mixing process. 🙂
Another great tutorial brilliant thanks
Thanks 😊
wonderful
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Lovely Sam.
Thanks Peter 🙂
Wow! Just Wow! You inspire!
Thanks Nora, I’m hoping to get the next video out soon 😊
This was most helpful and I thank you for sharing your knowledge. I tend to paint by guess-and-by-golly as I know little about colour mixing (though my results are generally all right ;) ).
You are so welcome! 😊
Very informative you explain so well , thank you
Thanks Elizabeth 😊
thanks Samuel ❤
You're welcome 😊
Loved the painting
Thanks Robin 🙂
Brilliant
Thanks so much the lesson on waves was great also putting the line above or below center
Thanks Rebecca 😊
How great to hear that you're a fellow Channel Islander! I am from Jersey, and I agree, the islands are fantastic to paint, the volcanic geology, cliffs, beaches and aquamarine sea colour is not found in the Uk except perhaps in Cornwall. The painting is great, do you sell any of your work? Thanks again!!
Thanks Heidi-Maria, yes I was born on the island of Guernsey but grew up in south-west England. My moved back to Guernsey when I was 17 and I lived on the island for a while. Icart Point which is the subject of this painting is my favourite view in Guernsey. I now live in New Zealand. My art works are for sale, check out my website:

@@SamuelEarpArtist Thanks Sam, I will check out your website. Also I have just subscribed to your videos as I think they're great and really informative! Cheers, Heidi
Excellent!!!
Thanks 🙂
A very Helpful tutorial ! thanks
Thanks Angela 😊
Very beautiful painting and such history on the island. Would you consider a painting featuring fog and mist?
Thanks Linda, Guernsey is a beautiful island. Yeah I’ll definitely make a video on how to paint mist and fog 😊
I'll be watching for the mist. Lol
Very gooooooooooood
Thanks 😊
Hi, Thanks for your video work, helped me a lot. Greetings from Germany. And all thumbs up :)
Thanks Hammer Hart, glad you liked the video and hello from New Zealand 🙂
You should use titanium white and little bit of quinacridone magenta to draw rough lines on canvas😏😏😏 instead of burnt umber.
Ha ha, thanks Akshay. I still prefer either using burnt sienna or burnt umber as I find it mixes in better with my initial block-in layers 🙂
Hello Samuel, I like it , thank you so much !!
Thanks Kankan 🙂
Great painting!
Thanks Big C 😊
A new fan here too Sam, you explain everything so well. This tutorial is extra special as I used to live in the Channel Islands too. I painted the Cliffs of Moher last year on a visit to Ireland...I will go back to it now and desaturate some of my greens. Noticed you didnt add any reflection of the cliffs in the sea? You make painting look do easy haha😀 debs in Spain
Thanks Debbie, where in the Channel Islands did you live? The islands are so beautiful. For this painting in the photo reference I used the sea was quite rough. Actually the footage of the area was filmed by my mum for the video. I got her to message it to me 😊
AMAZING
Thanks 😀
Beautiful
Thanks 🙂
Good job its great
Thanks Ben 🙂
You e great artist brother
Thanks Gerald 🙂
WOW AWESOME JOB BROTHER!!
Thanks Richard 🙂
Great work....................many thanks!
Thanks 😀
Thank you!
Welcome 😊
👍👍👍
How do you get away with mixing so little paint at a time? Each of those mixes looks like it's just enough for a single stroke.
Hey, Samuel!
Very nice painting. But the perspective of the cliffs doesn`t look quite right. The rocks seems to move to steep towards the viewer.
And the waves are too similar from front to the middle, so it looses a little of the depth effect.
Love your videos, and some of your paintings are really nice.
Eleo from Norway
Hi Eleo, thanks for the feedback. The painting is of the view from Icart Point in Guernsey and it's a high vantage point. I didn't make the sea too detailed as it was a small painting and I didn't want to ruin the composition. Sometimes you can have too much information and detail in a painting.
Thanks for watching
😀
Yes, thats one of those things that is very difficult for most artists; not get bogged down by focusing too much on the small details. I must admitt I have a tendency to do just that.
I don`t know if you have seen Vladimir Volegov in action, but he is really a magician when it comes to creating fantastic effects just by giving the viewer the illusion (of whatever) with very bold and non-detailed brushwork.
Do you ever feel stressed when painting? Would be cool if you could make a video about how you relate psychologically to the painting prosess.
You seem like a supernice guy with a relaxed constitution, but I also sence a vulnerability in your personality, so it would be interesting to hear you talk a little bit about yourself in relation to your artistic journey.
Keep up the great work, Samuel!
Eleo:)
Good painting !
Thanks 🙂
You do such a good job at teaching ! Hey Sam I find it hard to know the proportions of the mixes that you’re refer.to . Not many videos out there that go into detail on mixing and how much to mix with each other.. So for example when you do highlights in the clouds titanium white transparent yellow and burnt Siana how much do I mix ? it seems like you use formulas maybe you could do a video that covers the different mixes that you mostly use? That would help a ton ! 🙏
Thanks for the suggestion Allen, I go into much more details on colour mixing in my full length painting videos available on my Patreon channel and my website. Here are the links:

Nice painting Sam,liked and subscribed
Thanks Renato and welcome 🙂
Love this. Any chance you can finish with list of colors you used for each section. Water. Water shadows, water highlights, etc.
Thanks Kristin. I have written a painting tutorial to go with this video, here is the link:

Hi, thanks for this nice tutorial. Which brush did you used for your brown underpainting ?
Thanks Sam, beautiful painting and lovely area to be a part of! Very informative video.. I use burnt umber as an underpaintimg as well.. I think it really brings out the colors of nature.. Thank you for sharing!! 😊 ✌️💙
Thanks Cristy, yeah I love using burnt umber as an under painting 🙂
Thank you for your time freely given uploading your great painting (cliff scenery is similar to my local coastline near Brixham, Devon) I am in my mid eighties and rarely give the easel an airing these days but continue my art interests digitally. Do you indulge painting studies or tutorials with a computer these days?
Thanks John. I have to confess I have never done digital art, I prefer the old fashioned method 😊
I grew up in Devon by the way, I used to live in Exeter 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist ok perhaps one day in the future.
I love it mate! Congrats!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful painting tutorial video. Sam, do you paint with acrylics ? Color mixing tips are so helpful and I can watch over and over !!!
Thanks Christine, glad you enjoyed the video. I used to paint with acrylics a long time ago but once I switched to oils I never really used them again. I just find oils much easier to paint with, but thats not to say you couldn't paint this in acrylic, the colour mixing principles would be exactly the same.
I see. Thanks for your kind reply Sam !! I'll be looking forward to view often & more of your beautiful painting videos .
I’ve been painting with acrylics for 6 years. I just finished my first oil painting without a lot of proir knowledge of oil paint. I noticed you just mention using paint thinner during your “sketching” on to the canvas. Do you thin out your “blocking” layer or undertone layer? I’m just trying to learn good techniques for landscape oils, your style is very intriguing to me and I would like to know more details about your work.
Hi Haley, sorry for my late reply. I use liquin original throughout the painting, it's an alkyd resin that improves the flow of the paint and speeds up the drying time. I only use thinner for mixing the burnt sienna or burnt umber underpainting in which I also mix liquin with it too. There are all sorts of mediums you can use with oil paint and I like liquin for the convenience of the fast drying time, the only downside is the butanone oxime in liquin is toxic so that is something you need ton be mindful of. Paint in a well ventilated area.
When painting in oils keep in mind the 'fat over lean' principle, meaning start with thin layers and build up thicker layers on top as this will help to prevent cracking. Oil paint can take many months to really dry properly and the paint moves as it does so.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me more questions if you need more help. 🙂
Would you do a tutorial of seascape with lighthouse?
Yeah for sure. I will have to find a lighthouse I can paint but I would definitely like to paint a seascape with a lighthouse in it
