Having watched this video back my feeling is that I liked the painting more before I added the rocks and the scraped out areas. Don't get me wrong I still like this painting but I think I'll be doing another one in the future that is more minimalist and moody and emotive and open to interpretation.
This was painted on almost a full sheet of Rives BFK etching paper 46cm x 76cm. 280gsm, white.
The colours used were
Cerulean Blue
Winsor Yellow
Mix of Cobalt Blue and Light Red
Mix of Cobalt Blue, Light Red and Winsor Yellow for the ocean
Lamp Black mixed with Cobalt Blue and Light Red for the rocks
Some Winsor Yellow for the bit of light in the bottom left corner of the rocks.
The brushes used were
2 inch Holbein Hake
1 inch Holbein Hake
Small round series 7 winsor and newton sable for signing the painting
Other
A razor blade to scratch out the lights
And of a spray bottle
Tissues
MDF board and 3M magic tape to tape the paper to the board and 3M removable tape to tape off the horizon.

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Scott, this is so lovely. I really love watching your techniques and being along for the ride as your paintings come to life.

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Harmony! The razor if used with a metal ruler and lightly will not roughen up the paper at all but if done free hand and too deeply it can gauge the pater a bit! It takes a bit of practice but is totally safe! It is really important to have the paper totally dry before scraping, especially if you are new to that process! Good luck! 👍👍

Hi Barbara! Yes it turned out well! Thanks!! In terms of painting large maybe you should try half a sheet as a next step and paint something you really enjoy and find easy with 1/4 sheet. You may want to increase your brush size if you for instance use a 1 inch hake brush for 1/4 she you might want to use a 2 inch one. Or from 2 inch to 4 inch. That way you do the same brush strokes and you produce almost the same painting! Good luck! 👍👍
