Step 1
Mix some Winton Phthalo Blue with Titanium White. Don’t thin the paint with any medium. Use a palette knife to mix the paint, this ensures an even colour.
Step 2
Paint half of your canvas with the mixed blue.
Step 3
Add a generous squeeze of white to your palette and mix again to make a pale blue. Paint the bottom half of your canvas with light blue; to blend run the brush along the join from side to side.
Step 4
Paint wet-on-wet and use a generous amount of the white and paint straight on top of your blue background to paint the clouds.
Step 5
Pour some Liquin on your palette; this is used to increase the flow and accelerate the drying time. Use a small brush to mix some dark blue and add detail.
Step 6
Finish the painting by adding darker paint to the shoreline, creating contrast.
