We're doing "King of the High Seas" Part 2!

As you might recall, this is the finished product.

It has acrylic under it, it has oil on top.

We have arrived at the acrylic stage which has acrylic here, we're going to put the oil on top.

This is all dry, and we're going to start with putting Walnut Oil on, which will facilitate us putting on a thin veil which has a little white in it, so it's what I call the mudpack color.

It's going to go over the whole thing, it allows us to blend into it very nicely and the color I have for that is Van Dyke Brown and white with just a little bit of blue in it.

We'll push this around and we'll kind of wipe it slightly.

It's surprising what it goes against-- makes it look a little greenish doesn't it?

It's always a relationship of colors to colors, and I like that.

You learn very quickly things that you can use and enjoy.

This is all to be scrubbed on like this.

It can go across the people a little bit, across the sand and this truly will be worked with, wiped a little bit-- careful I don't want to lose that nice hand-- and as I said so, I bumped into it.

I don't know, yeah I do, I'll put a little bit on there.

Okay, time to wipe.

Clean, nice paper towel.

And what does the wiping do?

It let's some of it stay there, it removes the excess, and it sort of evens it out.

It certainly makes it, when you come with the oil paint on top of that you have something softly to blend into.

I so enjoy that I don't know when I first did that or how I discovered it, but I sure like it.

And if there's somebody I can give credit to for having done it first, I do that.

It's part of my arsenal now.

Now where would I wipe harder, maybe a little bit up right where I'm going to put clouds, because they'll go in.

A little bit harder on his face probably, a little bit on the lights on the jeans.

I guess those aren't jeans, but they're slacks.

A little bit harder on there, and I think that will work.

I'll start in the sky, and I will use white and some Raw Sienna.

And as I put this on, you're going to instantly make use of that veil that we put on.

Let me hold this up to the original.

That works.

You instantly work onto that veil that we put on, so it will soften it, it'll-- if you use very little paint, it'll blend in more.

Won't be as bright as it is down here.

But I want to start with a small flat brush simply to come against this.

The reason that I want to blend into the veil a little bit there is that I can have a little softening of this.

It won't be quite as bright, 'cause I want the, maybe the hat to be a little stronger.

Okay, now I'll blend just away a little bit.

I like that brush.

I'm going to stay with that brush.

We'll come up here and see, I can see the previous acrylic there, so that gives me a chance to go right on top of it.

And the other thing, you're going right on top of if but you could choose to go out a little further if you want.

It just shows the general path, and if my wife's driving, just take this path.

She might be on both sides of the road, but that's all right-- just so you're going the general direction that you want to go.

She won't have word of this until I get home, unless my program director is going to blackmail me!

Oo, I like that!

Now, what I like about that is, I have just a little dark there, and I'll come down and save it so you feel like there's a little eyelash there.

Okay, let's take the fan brush, go a little further... not much though.

Now this, after I blend this around, I'll probably go a little higher for two reasons.

One, just because I want to be higher, and the second, I want to have more of a definite edge.

That is not a real definite edge.

So see how that little rounded feeing there becomes the definite edge?

Little bit out there.

This really holds your interest near that fellow and you start thinking what is he thinking?

The water's quite low so he has no fear of that striking into him.

Let's take some Viridian Green.

I love this color.

And I'll mix it right in with that just to lighten it a little bit and I want to take this and put down I'll use that flat brush again for the green that's in the water.

Sort of a jade color.

And as I see this, I'm going to lighten a little bit there.

And as I go out near the horizon, near his face, you can see, you soften that and you don't really see the horizon.

I'll show you on the original.

See, you don't see the horizon there, but you could have just a little more green right here.

So what this will do is, it's just about eye level is where that and where the horizon is.

Okay, still continuing with this green.

It can blend in just a little bit with what's there.

And we'll come down with this and be sure it's light enough right under the chin too, so I have to establish a chin.

Do you want a Buck chin or do you want a normal chin?

[laughs] Okay, there he is there.

So let's put a little bit of this behind him.

It's quite pleasing when you analyze things and realize, hey, it's pretty soft all around his head and even down on his shoulders.

There's just the smallest little see-through right there by the neck.

Good.

And as we go over to the left, we're pushing in just a little bit of green, both sides there, very casually done.

Where you get more now, let's take the pure Viridian Green and let's push it down in here... coming over to the right... and you notice here when I push it in, I pushed up a little bit so that shape's just a little more pleasing than it was.

That's a great color for the ocean!

And as I told you earlier, one block away!

I'm not into real-estate selling, but boy that would be the place I would, well, I probably wouldn't sell any there, because I don't want people bothering me.

[laughs] Taking over my beach!

Now, there's a lot of people that live there and come there, and they're more than welcome to be there.

You can go just about anytime of the day and you can see people using the beach.

Early morning, scuba divers, kayak paddlers, swimmers, and then on through the day you get some surfing.

Oh, love that!

Love that!

Okay, a little bit of light, let's take first kind of a grayish tone so I have, you're Thalo Blue.

if I mix the Thalo Blue and a little bit of that sky color together, what I wish to do here is to get just a feeling for that wave.

See that wave was only light, it really didn't have a lot of foam or anything worked up on it.

Little there and just a little bit on this side.

See, that having it hit him on both sides front and back, you make it feel like he's standing out.

Let's put just a little bit there.

Not much, we don't need much just to say that that is the continuation of this wave.

And then you have just in the distance a little teeny wiggle of water moving out there.

What about on this side?

Yes, over in here.

LIke that, and then I'll take this brush which I have been using and we'll just push up just a little feeling like foam patterns moving up into the trough of the wave, into the curl.

I have several art students in Santa Barbara that, oh, they're so good when it comes to painting oceans.

I learn from them.

I have one gal, Emily, every time she paints I say oh, I'm learning from you!

Okay, this is same thing, Raw Sienna and white.

See how strong that is near him?

And then as it comes over, it sort of fades out.

And if it doesn't, I'm going to take some of this veil color and just soften that.

I'm glad we said what should be done, and it wasn't being done.

That same highlight color, a little bit in here.

Okay, let's come onto the boy now, and on his hat we've got the Raw Sienna and white.

You say okay, you have that in the clouds!

Will this show up?

I think so.

I probably, on the original it's not quite as light behind.

I've chosen to be a little light behind.

And I don't find any problem with that.

It doesn't take away from this light that I'm putting on here now.

I'll just push this down just a little bit and I think we can use what's there as shadows if I just soften that in just a little bit.

Okay, then light on the brim is still the Raw Sienna and white.

Need to have this come down so they touch.

Same way there, there's no reason to add another color there.

I'll thin this out a little bit, and that will soften and give you a little secondary value.

That goes up not, don't quite want much of a line between that and the clouds.

You can still see that, can't you?

Okay the gray that we put on first is very close to being what we want down here, but this will lighten it a little bit because it's-- because it's lighter!

We'll come up a little closer... come up close to the hand.

That, again, I think we've said it before, but what this is, and I'm pushing just a little bit in there.

It's just how the sand looks when it has a little wetness on it.

Okay now, let's go with the boy's shirt.

I'll wipe a little harder and then I'm going to take-- this is Thalo Blue and white.

I get just the right value of that.

Isn't that rich and pretty?

See that's the little highlights that'd be there and there's just a little part that sticks out there and comes across there and then on the shoulder and a little bit in the middle of the back, almost kind of little striations... little bit showing where the sleeve is coming down, then I'll, this is Payne's, no you're Van Dyke Brown and blue and go very strong up front.

Now this will show a nice contrast between the arm and the front edge but it also-- see how you have a nice light contrast there?

It stands him away from the, from the water.

And just a little accent here.

We'll put the shoe, we need that to be dark again.

We still got a lot of time.

Okay, let's take Raw Sienna and white, Raw Sienna and white and what about a touch of orange?

Just because you are on the, the bench.

I hate to have any of my players just have to sit on the bench.

Ah, I was coaching in Canada, a very tight game and I remember all of a sudden I hear "Mr. Paulson, Mr. Paulson" "What Dennis?"

"What do we have for science tomorrow?"

Oh, the timing was horrible.

But do you know what he was saying?

He was saying please notice me too.

I've never forgot that.

Okay, a little bit here and a little bit there.

I'll take a paper towel and just soften this slightly.

When a lot of the acrylic is staying, is part of the color scheme, then when we want any blend the sort of wiping over like that works out real well.

Okay, we'll put a just a little flesh color on-- what do we want?

This is red-- what kind of red are you?

You're Red Light, I think.

Yeah, you're Cadmium Red Light and a little Raw Sienna.

A little more Raw Sienna.

Now, I'm just going to touch this just slightly.

Oops, that's too much; I need more white.

There, so you get that little cheek just puffing out slightly and a little bit on the neck and as I come up out I'll creep under so you don't see quite so much of the chin.

You know it's there but it's not quite doing as much.

Then we come down just a little bit on the wrist, and I'll take a small brush because we want to touch that finger again.

Just slightly there, and I'll take a little bit-- who are you?

Burnt Umber?

Burnt Umber.

We'll give you a chance to be the little finger on the far side and a little bit of the knuckle line there and a little bit of the shadow under the shirt there.

Let's, before we leave, we'll just take that same Burnt Umber and just go right through there and get a tread on the bottom of the shoes.

Take a little of the Van Dyke Brown.

I want to have, as you look at this you can see that little dark line that comes up is very pleasing, right along there.

We'll put just a slight touch of this brown, this golden color, it's this color, we'll put just on the edge there so you know you can continue to see the pants.

We'll take some of the same flesh color, we'll come running over to the lady on the beach just a little highlight, little highlight there, little highlight on the arm.

We'll have a a little bit of this flesh color on her legs.

These are just established in there, and they have just enough light.

I need to go a little lighter on her legs.

She may have been out in the sun a little too long, little sunburned sweetheart, little sunburned.

A little on this guy sort of dancing along he's got two arms, one coming down there and one coming over there and then let's get his hair.

We've got Raw Sienna and a little white.

Ah... yes!

Now what about her?

Let's take and go, we have Burnt Umber.

I don't think that's what you'd say-- "Hey you you have Burnt Umber!"

You'd probably say auburn-- would you say auburn?

Oh, beautiful.

Oh, I like her!

My wife is going to say "Who were you looking at when you did that?

Little shadows in the beach, in the sand, from their legs?

Okay, let's go lighter light on the foam, that kind of splash up wave.

Okay here... and here... ...and a little bit over in here.

Notice as I do this, there's two different values there, and that's how you get form.

So for the first one right there, I need to come back with a little bit of the grayish because it needs to have a feeling of light down to-- you can't really say dark because it's not real dark but just a change in value.

Here's a little lighter light, and you always say where's the light coming from?

It's coming from up above.

I don't like this too much where that goes like that so I'm going to put this in, then knock that one down just a little bit.

Because this over on this side is what I want to feature more, is this one.

Okay, we'll take just a little bit of the Raw Sienna and white, and I have put more oil on it just to quickly put some sand highlights on.

This of course, there's nothing really fancy on this.

The only thing I would point out is, if you do this I use a little Van Dyke Brown just to put a little bit of footprints in, and then in the front of him you have a feeling of a little cast shadow right there.

So I'll take this paper towel, I'm just pushing this around just softening a little bit more.

You can work with that, you can work more carefully with that.

You can see the difference between done and not done on the other side, so I'll put just a little bit over there using a flat brush to come closely against him.

I didn't do it, now I will.

You're using that, then if you want to use a larger brush you can push this over and you're not going to bump against him.

I need to round out his hip just a little bit.

Right in here, just a little bit.

Then I see another thing right above there that-- push this over slightly.

His T-shirt!

it's, it's, it's dirty!

Then when I put this on you'll say it was dirty, it's not dirty now.

Good.

I think that's going to please me.

If I were to do anything else, it would probably be taking some of the cloud color and going a little further to the right and left.

See over here, just some secondary clouds and when I say "secondary," not quite as light.

See, that's just sort of scrubbed in, and it does give a little relief to this area and then we go over here, and the same aspect is happening there, you have that blend the-- hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo the wind came up!

[laughs] Did you see the wind hit that?

Oh my gosh.

Well, that's the nice thing about having the acrylics there, you can just take and wipe that off!

That makes you think, I wish I hadn't done that.

Oh-oh.

Well, I'll take a little Burnt Umber and move her hair over.

I'm sorry sweetie, I'm sorry that you're getting a little windswept there.

Oo, that's not very nice.

Oh, thank goodness it happened.

Thank goodness it happened.

I don't want perfection as something that has to happen.

If you If you make a mistake, if you need to correct something-- do it!

Of course, I'm not going to take time to do any more than that.

I sure thank you for watching today, and just make your little lady have little less windswept hair, and I think this The "King of the High Sea" he's in control, he's going as he should.

So can I just take you to the barber shop just a little bit?

Oh... perfect!

Perfect.

I did that on purpose so you'd see how it looks.

We'll see you next time.

Thank you for being patient, thank you for being understanding!

Thank you for sitting.

We'll see you later.

Bye-bye.
