It can also be used to make a serious black- great for capturing lighthouses and other seaside structures- or fabulous purples which often show up in the water and sky. For deep orange sunsets, mix with yellow. I rarely see sunrises or sunsets around an ocean without some serious pinks in them, and most of the time these crimson hues will be reflected on the sand and sea.Īlso, Alizarin crimson's mixing range is vast. I wouldn't call it necessary but, wow, how I would miss it! I keep Daniel Smith's Quinacridone Rose (PV19) in my permanent palette, but right now I prefer crimson's boldness at the beach.Ī cool red works wonders for skies around coastal areas. Clear, reflecting colors tend to capture the coastal light much better than warm opaques, so for the most part I'm sticking with Hansa. However, I tend to avoid orange-ish yellows at the seashore. I also use AZO Yellow (PY151), and I even substituted Yellow Ochre in the coastal painting below because I knew I needed a warmer, more opaque yellow for this scene. Use a mixture of wet-on-wet and dry techniques to get the best effect.Īlmost any cool, clear yellow works well for sunshine and when mixing greens for water, grasses and foliage like in the maritime marsh painting above. Since sand is so pebbled and shows every footprint and indention, I like to pack a small toothbrush to make splatter effects with the earth tones. It is a beautiful color, adding warmth to sand and excellent in mixes. In fact, if I were to add a sixth color to this palette, it would be burnt sienna.

However, I do like the variety Buff provides plus the way it works to tone down other colors in mixes.ĭepending on the color of the sand in your area, burnt sienna could be substituted for either of the earth tones in this palette. If you want to pack ultralight, Buff Titanium is super convenient for sand color, but watering down raw umber can produce almost the same effect. Plus, Phthalo green with yellow or raw umber can produce a beautiful range of greens that are useful in a maritime landscape.įor more examples of various blues for sea and sky, see my post on The Best Blue Watercolors. Ultra-strong Phthalo is ghastly alone but mixed with ultramarine it creates a gorgeous Caribbean blue. If I were traveling to a tropical destination (note to Husband: trips make great anniversary presents!), I'd be tempted to add Phthalo green. Though I can obtain similar by mixing ultramarine with raw umber, it is easier and faster to reach for this deep, indigo shade. If you want to capture a smoky sea and sky like in the photo, swap out the yellow (which you won't need) or even the ultramarine for Indanthrone Blue. If I added a blue, I'd choose Manganese Blue Hue (PB15)- great for clear skies! Cobalt is another popular blue that is cooler than ultramarine but can work well. Mixing with a touch of yellow creates a gorgeous seagrass green.ĭepending upon your location and/or subject matter, you could swap out ultramarine for something else, or even add a blue. Ultramarine plus buff produces a light, more opaque blue- perfect for certain sky conditions. LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said the shooting was not related to the nearby Valley Indoor Swap Meet.Almost any seaside painting begins with blue, and I prefer ultramarine because of its warmth and beauty when mixing.įor example, ultramarine plus raw umber produces a beautiful range from smoky gray to deep blue.
