How to Paint CLIFFS AND SEA

In this video I show you how to paint a coastal seascape featuring cliffs and the ocean around the south coast of Guernsey, a small island located in the English Channel.
In the video I will explain the following:
1. Composition
2. Colours and brushes
3. Blocking in the painting
4. Adding detail
5. Adding final details
I explain how to paint the cliffs and how to make the foliage on the cliffs recede in the distant landforms. I show you how to paint the sea and simplify the complexities of the moving water in a manner that still gives the appearance of a realistic ocean. I explain how to get the tonality of the painting correct, show you how to mix a few colours and much more.
A special thanks to my mother Wendy Pratt who gave me some footage of Icart Point as I forgot to film the area when I visited Guernsey last year!
If you would like to paint along with this, check out the link below for the written notes that accompany this video. Feel free to copy the painting and copy / use the reference photos that are in the written tutorial.

What I especially enjoy about your video is the confidence with which you make each stroke. I know too well the amount of painting required to get past the "God, I hope this does what I want it to", to the point of "I place this paint in this manner with this brush because I know what it is going to do. I am a subscriber and greatly appreciate your "sharing" of your talent and experience.
Thank You!!!

Hi Samuel, I really enjoyed this video. I've watched several times now! I found your video extremely helpful for preparing to paint a photo of a coastal scene that I snapped while hiking in Newfoundland, Canada. I am new to painting and needed instruction on how to begin, or plan a painting. In previous paintings, I just proceeded in the best way I knew how but lacked any real method. I needed a general approach; a formula on how to get paintings started, i.e. taking photos for potential paintings, sketching, colour study, blocking in, adding details...also your explanations about saturation and focal point. Your process really gave me the structure that I was looking for! Thank you!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thank you so much, really please you enjoyed the video and found it helpful 😀

How do you get away with mixing so little paint at a time? Each of those mixes looks like it's just enough for a single stroke.

Brilliant Samuel. I definitely will try this one. In such short time you gave excellent instructions. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and helping newbie like me. Can I make a suggestion. It would be nice to see your pallet while you show the video. Just looking at it while you paint maybe we can gauge the value easier. Sorry for this. I still love your work.

I love it mate! Congrats!

[@eleojay401]

Hey, Samuel!
Very nice painting. But the perspective of the cliffs doesn`t look quite right. The rocks seems to move to steep towards the viewer.
And the waves are too similar from front to the middle, so it looses a little of the depth effect.
Love your videos, and some of your paintings are really nice.
Eleo from Norway

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Hi Eleo, thanks for the feedback. The painting is of the view from Icart Point in Guernsey and it's a high vantage point. I didn't make the sea too detailed as it was a small painting and I didn't want to ruin the composition. Sometimes you can have too much information and detail in a painting.
Thanks for watching
😀

[@eleojay401]

Yes, thats one of those things that is very difficult for most artists; not get bogged down by focusing too much on the small details. I must admitt I have a tendency to do just that.
I don`t know if you have seen Vladimir Volegov in action, but he is really a magician when it comes to creating fantastic effects just by giving the viewer the illusion (of whatever) with very bold and non-detailed brushwork.
Do you ever feel stressed when painting? Would be cool if you could make a video about how you relate psychologically to the painting prosess.
You seem like a supernice guy with a relaxed constitution, but I also sence a vulnerability in your personality, so it would be interesting to hear you talk a little bit about yourself in relation to your artistic journey.
Keep up the great work, Samuel!
Eleo:)

[@allenvoss7977]

You do such a good job at teaching ! Hey Sam I find it hard to know the proportions of the mixes that you’re refer.to . Not many videos out there that go into detail on mixing and how much to mix with each other.. So for example when you do highlights in the clouds titanium white transparent yellow and burnt Siana how much do I mix ? it seems like you use formulas maybe you could do a video that covers the different mixes that you mostly use? That would help a ton ! 🙏
