The principles of oil painting the sea are quite interesting. The whole feature is in the material. It is not enough just to put it on paper, achieving blending, as is the case with watercolor. But you can use the mixing technique on a special blank made of plastic or wood (in the case of oil, wood is better). Special brushes are also required:

They must have a hard pile.
They also have different thicknesses.
Traditionally, large brushes are used in oil, they are convenient to create a background.

It consists of tone spots, with intermediate borders. Oil is a unique material, it is valued for the fact that the colors are very naturalistic. By learning how to handle paints, you can create diverse canvases, with a rich color palette. Strokes can be done with different effects - not only monophonic, but also consisting of several components.

This is very handy when creating the main background. It consists of various strokes. Given the characteristics of the oil, you can be sure: the previous background will not show through, and first of all, it will be precisely the fine work that will be seen. The most commonly used brushes are large diameter. But still, many beginners try to master small brushes. This is quite difficult, because the work will be painstaking. First, it is better to analyze the work, and then clarify the details. But some manage to master small strokes, and they paint pictures with refined strokes. In some cases, this turns out to be justified, since the viewer sees what the author was trying to convey to him.

How to learn to paint the sea in oils

In short, it is difficult to convey the features of painting the sea with oil. This is a unique technology. No need to wait for the layer to dry. It is necessary to quickly mix paints, finding an acceptable option. You will also need a solvent to remove paint from brushes and canvas. Prepare a rag for this. Please note that washing it will be useless, since the oil is not removed using a standard powder.

Many do not use brushes, but an artistic variety of spatula. This is a small tool, it successfully applies strokes, their texture is smooth. They are also produced in different sizes, and differ from brushes in such a way as the rapid removal of paint. Here it is enough to use a rag or paper, without a cleaning agent. It is this tool that is very convenient for applying the background. But it must be recalled that it is still desirable to give the layer a texture using brushes.

The beauty of the sea is in its uniqueness. Anyone who thinks that one type of paint can be used several times in one work is mistaken. Be sure to need at least 15 tones. FC, whitewash, and even ocher are suitable, and not only. they are mixed with each other, achieving the desired result.

Oil painting lesson for beginners

Oil painting looks solid and expensive. Pictures made in this direction can decorate any interior. The ability to paint in oils opens up unlimited creative possibilities. Oil is a long-term, wear-resistant material. With it, you can create beautiful canvases and paint walls.

For the picture you will need the following materials:

• canvas;
• oil paints (different colors);
• thinner for paints;
• wide and thin brushes;
• tissue paper packaging.

How to draw the sea with oil: for beginners in stages

1. Moisten the canvas with thinner, but not so much that nothing drips from it.
2. Before drawing a sea wave, you need to designate the sea and the sky. Painting over the canvas mixed paints(white, cobalt, ultramarine with the addition of orange). Draw a thin horizontal line in the center. Above is the sky.
3. With uneven horizontal strokes, we apply light blue paint with a large brush in the lower part of the picture - this is water near the coast.
4. Mixing ocher and white paint for the image of sand. We shade the paint from the bottom up. To make the picture realistic, it is necessary to supplement it with stones and vegetation. This is easy to do with the help of burnt umber and a thin brush.
5. With white paint we draw clouds of various sizes and shapes. Many beginner artists are interested in how to draw realistic waves on the sea. To begin with, with the same light paint, but with a thin brush, you need to designate the crests of the waves.
6. By mixing ultramarine and umber, we get the color with which we highlight the shadow of the waves. When an artist paints the sea in oil, he knows , in order for the wave to appear higher, its shadow at the base must be very dark. We make the shadow of the foam purple, and after it dries, add a little white.
7. Coastal foam is also obtained by mixing blue and a little red. And after complete drying, highlight with white. We rub light orange paint over the waves with a not wet brush.
8. The water's edge looms wavy lines blue paint.
9. We make highlights on the water with a light yellow color.

Master class in painting with detailed description:

1. At the beginning, I always start writing those landscape plans, which form the environment or background. Therefore, we type the color of the sky, prescribe a strip of the sea near the horizon.

2. We are not afraid of large strokes of paint. They create an image sea ​​waves, make the colorful layer textured.

3. We continue to write what we started, gaining a lot of sky and sea. The main thing at this stage is not to make a mistake in tonality. If the sea is lighter or darker than the norm (the same applies to the sky, and to any other fragments of the landscape), then the painting will “crumble”. The norm depends on the time of day, on the weather and other factors and cannot be a constant value.

4. We begin to introduce clouds into the landscape. Each cloud has a volume. That is, it is light on one side and dark on the other. Most often, clouds are lit from above. Below they are in the shade. Thus, the clouds will be voluminous and expressive.

5. As you move away, the size of the clouds decreases. The further you go, the less noticeable they become. They seem to fade into the haze of the background. Therefore, the clouds near the horizon will be slightly darker than those clouds that are close. In addition, part of the clouds are combined into groups, forming a kind of "stripes". Some clouds are isolated from others. Thus, one must avoid "identities" and convey a dynamic rhythm in the arrangement of the clouds. If everything is done correctly, then we will get a voluminous sky that goes into the distance of the horizon.

6. Now we proceed to the crest of the wave. Here you need to understand that the wave is similar in shape to a cylinder. Water, as it were, twists into a kind of “roll”. This comparison will help novice artists quickly understand the essence. Therefore, for clarity, I give an example with a sheet of paper. Water forms waves as it approaches the shore. The closer to the coast, the crests of the waves become higher and begin to twist, forming a cylindrical shape. Further, the wave falls on the shore and its crest breaks. In this case, sea foam is formed, which goes into the sea when the water recedes. The foam is torn to shreds, forming an intricate pattern of peculiar "veins".

7. In our landscape, the inside of the wave crest is darker than the rest of the water. However, in the very middle of the wave, we convey the transparency of the water more light tone. The closer to the shore, the shallower the water. Therefore, through the water you can see sea ​​bottom and its color will be warmer than the color of the rest of the sea, and the tone a little lighter.

8. The wave in our landscape is breaking on the shore, so now we begin to paint a lot of splashes and sea foam on the crest of the wave. In general, her color is light, but not white. Also, this mass of spray has volume. Therefore, below and along the edges of the sea foam, I paint shadow areas that will give it volume.

9. We continue to work, honing the details.

10. We introduce the silhouette of a large stone on the seashore. I do it with a palette knife. brown- blue color the stone is mixed with the previous layer of paint, so we gain all the strength of the color gradually.

11. We condense the color. Make the silhouette of the stone darker.

12. We prescribe the light. We introduce a warm "red" color, which makes the top and left side of the stone lighter. We do all this with a palette knife to give the stone a faceted and “comminuted” shape.

13. We increase the size of the stone block, taking its silhouette beyond the crest of the wave. We prescribe the shadow part of the stone with a darker and colder color.

14. Next, work on the reflection of the stone in the input. Appears on the blue surface of the sea Brown color reflections broken across by small waves. In a similar way, we introduce a light color of the reflection from the sea foam of the wave crest. The reflection is bright, blurred on the surface of the water. That is, it will not have clear boundaries.

15. Working on the nuances. I introduce a rich blue color into the background of the sea.

16. Enter details. For example, foam on the crest along the entire length of the sea wave.

17. At the final stage, I correct what I wrote earlier in accordance with what happened at the end. For example, I removed excess clouds, muted the whiteness of the waves in the background. I did this in order to highlight the main thing - the wave in the foreground. Everything else - the sky, the clouds, the waves in the distance - should complement composition center and not distract from it. After the painting is basically written, you can clarify something in the details and nuances. I bring the painting to a finished look.

18. As a result, the seascape should be dynamic and alive. The wind should be felt, the wave should rush to the shore, twisting and breaking on a stone block. Spray and sea breeze should be blown away in the wind. Achieving these goals will create an appropriate mood in seascape and make the painting expressive.

P.S. In this master class, oil paints, primed cardboard measuring 19x12 cm, a round bristle brush No. 3, a round synthetic hair brush No. 1, a palette knife were required for work.

Most people choose needlework or other options as a hobby. artistic creativity. Moreover, because of the same mass-produced goods, the demand for things made by oneself is increasing. Photos or computer images are printed multiple times. You can do a unique thing by learning how to paint oil paintings. If you watch video tutorials famous artists, then even a beginner can understand this painting technique.

Even if you try to repeat your plot perfectly twice, you still cannot make an exact copy. This creates the uniqueness of works of art. How to start and learn how to create paintings?

Materials that will be required for work:

• host.
• Different colors.
• Brushes.
• Solvent and a small container for it.
• Special palette for mixing.

Masters also use palette knife- special metal elastic shovels with wooden handles, with which paint is applied to the base. It is important for a beginner to master brushes.

In addition, the masters paint pictures on easel or a high-quality sketchbook, if they go to work in nature, to depict oil paintings from nature.

Landscapes for beginners is a complex subject. It is better to create pictures with the help of imagination or using photographs. This will make it easier to depict the landscape.

According to professionals, easier to work on an easel, as it is easier to step back and look at the result of the work. At first, you can try to practice on the surface of the table, but it is better to take some board and put it on your chair at a certain slope. You will see an overview of your work and you will be able to evaluate its quality well, notice your shortcomings in time.

Remember that paint wears out quickly Therefore, you need to purchase them individually and in large quantities. The form of release is of different sizes. White paint is the fastest to leave, but black paint is consumed in very small quantities. First you need to decide on plot, and then buy paints of the appropriate colors and shades.

In order to draw an autumn bouquet, you will need one set, and for a summer bouquet, a completely different one. In order not to waste your budget on unnecessary colors, it is better to take only the necessary ones in approximately the right amount. All colors and shades can be obtained with only three main colors(yellow, red, blue), as well as white and black.

Creating and selecting a base step by step

If you want to make it easier for yourself to draw, buy in specialized stores ready-made foundations for work on which you can immediately apply paint. They cost a decent amount of money, but they are just right for a beginner, as they greatly simplify the work.

Another great option is application of fiberboard. In the household of every man there are scraps of this material, which remains after the repair. It is easy to find it by asking friends, relatives or a loved one. Someone definitely used it and keeps the remains of this material in the garage.

The shape of the sides of fiberboard is different, one looks very smooth, and the other is rather rough, remotely similar to a woven structure. Both forms can be used, but more parts and layers of primer should be applied to a rough surface, otherwise the color may become dull, as the paint will sink a little into the structure of such a product.

If for the first time you decide to try to paint a landscape oil painting, you can take a ready-made fiberboard base with primer already applied. The sheet should be taken small, no more than a landscape one.

If you want to make a base from WPV with your own hands, an easy and inexpensive way is using plain gelatin, you can add PVA glue to it so that the color turns white. It is necessary to apply this primer in several layers with the preliminary drying of the past. Three times will be enough. You should feel that the surface has changed. After preparing the base, you can proceed to create a picture.
