Today I'm painting a beginner friendly seascape with yachts using a limited palette: cobalt blue, Venice red and Davidson's grey from our handmade paint range, you can subsitute any brand of cobalt blue, light red or Venetian red and paynes grey if you don't have our paints. I started out by masking out the yacht sails with masking fluid to protect the white paper. The idea is to try to let go and paint a wet in wet sky as loosely as possible, aiming for plenty of subtle drama, then a sea glinting with sunlight painted mostly with dry brush, loosely painted and kept really simple. It looks challenging, but it is a simple and exciting process that will probably take a bit of practice, but is really useful for getting beginners used to the way water and paint can flow on the page, and using a few dark accents to obtain balanced tonal values with plenty of darks, while keeping things fresh and light.
I'm using Saunders Waterford 100% cotton cold pressed 140lb/300g weight paper, 11" x 15"/28cms x 38cms, my paper is taped to my board with ordinary decorators masking tape and is at an angle of about 45 degrees so gravity will help me paint. I use various brushes as demonstrated in the video, but use whichever brushes you have.
My goodness......i like this painting so much!!
Simplicity,light,soft and beautyful❤😊
Are you kidding! I've been trying to paint a regatta scene for weeks! And you have come to my rescue! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
This is so awesome. Just quiet day on the water.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Ralph 😊
Love the simplicity of your sailboats on sparkling water. Your hand is very steady, I am 75 and hands are shaky so I use a ruler. Love your pointy calligraphy brush.
This is lovely. Such a pretty and gentle scene
Thanks AG 😊
Thank you, Lois♥️ I love this painting so much. I love that you explain as you’re painting so that it truly makes it something a beginner can attempt.
Simple but very effective. Thanks
Thanks so much! 🎨💐
thank you for the tutorial! i'll try to make this for fathers day since my dad is an ex-seaman and mentions he doesnt want to forget the sea
Love how the Venice Red pales to a gorgeous pink. Beautiful!
Thanks Delphine! 😊
Your water colour tutorials are so simple and well presented Lois, well done.
Lovely result 👏👏👏
That sky has a very Edward Seago feel to it and the sparkling water compliments it perfectly. I don’t think you mentioned it but the sails could be masked out with little triangles of masking tape if people don’t have masking fluid on hand. Thanks for sharing this one 🙏
Thanks for that John, i greatly appreciate your kind words and suggestion! 😊
Beautiful painting! The wet in wet technique adds a great deal of drama and movement in the painting
Thanks so much Anne! 🌊🎨
Hi Lois while not a new watercolour painter I find I learn so much from your paintings for beginners, today it was to drag the body of the brush across the water for sparkles, I have been using the tip & could not work out why I couldn't achieve the result I wanted so thank you
Thanks Liz, I'm glad it was helpful! 😊
Love the dry brush sea. Thank you.
Beautifully simple. Simply beautiful!
Your painting is sensational, you paint very easily, congratulations, I really liked it.
Refreshing to look at! The sparkling water looks amazing!
Beautiful! This made me really miss my Cornwall holiday. That light!
Thanks so much Erik, I miss C😊ornwall too
Great... Minimalist coloring 👌👍👏👏
So pretty, it makes me happy..take care..
Thank you very much, Lois, for sharing this wonderful tutorial !😀
Thank you! I do love these sea paintings. You make it look easy, but I’m sure it isn’t, however I will have a go as I have all the materials to hand. Your sky is beautiful!
Just beautiful! My large RR Hakes arrived today.
Great news Sue, I hope you enjoy painting with them! 😊
Thanks well narrated clearly explained

So beautiful. Can't wait to try this.
Thanks Colleen! 🎨💐

Excellent always.
Thanks Nipun 😊
I can’t wait to try this. I don’t have the nice Ron Ranson hake brush. However, I have several sizes of Goat hair hake brushes purchased at the Japanese dollar store, Daiso. One will hopefully work for this effect.
Thanks Lisa! 😊
Thank you
Lovley! 👏
Thanks Suzanne! 💐🎨
Beautiful 🥰
Thanks Vicki 💐🎨
Very nice
Great technique than you
I love my hake brush for the dry brush "sparkles", which works so well with the texture of the paper. Really nice, Lois! 🙂
Thanks so much Margaret! 😊
Wow that is all I can say :)
That's amazing. I have just started try painting with water colours. Can't see any paint on you Etsy page though?
❤
I always wondered how to get that effect on the water it’s brilliant ..Thank you ❤ always enjoy your tutorials ❤❤❤
Thanks Jill! ☕️🎨
If this is for beginners I don’t even know what I am anymore 😭
💕💕💕
Thanks Danielle! 😊
Wonderful painting. I didn't understand what it was that you used to initially protect the sail boats.
Hello, I didn't get the dry goathair brush. Do you have a link maybe? Thank you!
Could you do it with any other type of brush? I don’t have one like that! 😢
Another awesome painting Lois. Thank you. Dumb question, but do you run into problems that you ruined a painting, and there's no saving it?
All the time, for every reasonably successful painting there’s probably at least 3 or 4 trial and error paintings, sometimes more!
Yo
