Okay, let's take a look at our picture. Here we have some long horizontal lines I've added, with just a little bit of fellow blue and green, or just straight sale of blue. I gave a little wash here to give a little mountain shape left to cloud. Now as we analyze a picture, we can see that we're going from yellow to the red to the violet, almost a violet going into a gray into the blue, green, and some pure blue here. So we call this an analogous color scheme. Because the colors are related to each other.

There's no shock value. Now, one of the things I like to do is take a really good look at the picture and find a few areas that I see could kind of make a little bit of a difference. So I wet this and roll the brush gently and let's see if we're getting anything off here. Not yet. Getting a little shape. I'm trying to imitate that shape down here.

Not exactly but the put in the water. clean it off. I'm lifting some color. Tail seems great to left. Because it's a stain or color, stain or colors, as opposed to like colors like cadmium or Oh Kurt, they go right into the paper deep. And they don't come off easily.

But when you give them a little rub like this, you can lighten just enough to give that cloud sensation or mist can even rub it a little bit because it's good paper. Good paper. There we go. Starting to open up here. There's the white of the paper here. I don't want to touch that.

That's perfect. And it's a good idea. Once you've done it to pat it with a clean towel, so you don't have any bleed marks. Okay, let's look over this section here. Over here. We have another area that we could do.

And I'm going to clean this whole section up right here to sort of rub it gently for a moment and the brush will pick up pigment. Yeah, starting to come off. I'll put this here so you can see. So I'm just coming into the mountain here. See, see it get has a there it is coming off there, but make sure don't go in my sky. Put down here.

Actually I like this sort of little bleed mark that I'm creating here. It sort of goes with this one here. See how we're just doing a few little techniques. I think I'll leave that little bleed mark there. Kind of looks like the wind's blowing Uh oh look at the over here, we have this and this on the coast the clouds just shoot straight up, get these great wins. So this little bleed marks great.

I might take my little rag after it's said a bit and just touch. Just touch it. Okay, now I have one little area here that I need to open up. So I might even turn the paper upside like this. And sometimes turning your paper around gives you a different view of it. Now what I want to do is bring in right in here just to just go over it a few times.

Just work it across. See I'm pushing the paint down and creates a little bit of a line. Take a look. Yeah, we're getting those little clouds coming in there. Perfect. Okay.

Now for the breakers, that's going to be I think the last part. I'm going to use a little razor blade to get pick up some highlights. Okay, so that'll be the next part. When you're working with a razor blade, it's very important. The paper is dry. So sometimes I like to take another piece of paper.

Let's say I wanted to get a little breaker here. So the edge of the blade is what you use and go in one direction. Paper has to be dry and just if you have a soft paper Like a smooth paper like this, you're not going to get anything by going across like this. If you have some arches paper that has a tooth on it, then you can just go across but this one is kind of a little pick. That takes us a moment. Then back the other way.

I'm just going to put a little bit in a couple little white accents. Make it subtle. If you make it subtle, it'll be more effective if you go and start scraping too much. Once you get started, you can go back and forth and then one direction. Take off the fluff. There we go.

This paper is very tough. Some papers really respond quickly to the razor. others don't. Now we'll just stand back and take a look. You see just a little bit of white there goes with the white here, and right across here, I would like to get a straight line there. So there's different ways to do that.

One of the easiest is taking another piece of paper, put it right on the horizon line, because we do like a straight horizon line, even though it's not really straight. And then put this on the edge of the paper, see, and then just gradually lower it. Just subtly. Give it a little like that. There we go. That's in the distance.

There we go. We've added a little bit of white highlights there. What I've done there is a little bit too strident. So striking meaning stood out to like little little dots you see. This will be my main one. So it might be a little bit brighter.

There we go fully out there, but it looks like it's spraying a little bit They're very well done. Thank you for doing this with me. It's been a pleasure to visit the ocean
