How to Paint a Sailing Boat and the Sea - With Oil Paints

Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will paint a sailing boat
with oil paint.
We begin by painting the background.
As you see I´m using a white canvas.
And the color is simply a mix of a Flake White and King´s Blue Deep.
In the description below the video I will add links to these materials
in case you want to see them.
So we add this light blue color doing short strokes, in different
directions.
I want a lighter tone at the top, and then by adding
more blue and less white, I am darkening it, a little bit.
Not very much!
Then I´m adding some stripes which are also not very contrasting.
The idea is to get a result which is pretty elegant and nice to look at.
A fresh and peaceful view.
These lines of course will be for the waves.
We lay down the paint
and then smudge it a little bit.
So that we don´t have a hard edge.
Like this.
And another one.
Very good!
I will be adding a long version of this tutorial, to my Patreon account.

I mentioned that I want the upper part lighter, so I´ll give
it another layer of white.
Which I mix in with the existing color.
Since it is all fresh.
Emm-- this upper part is going to be the sky.
But we will not have a hard and visible line that divides
the sea from the sky.
It will be merged and lost one with the other.
It is a bit foggy.
A nice, fresh, foggy sea.
I love the sea!
We add some more of white down here, which are reflections
of the light sky.
Or of the clouds, I should say.
And here, I´m painting the mast of our sailing boat.
It is a long mast.
And then the little boat down here.
For this I´m using blue black, with a little white.
I will darken slightly the front and the bottom part, of the boat.
And let´s add some lines.
These are for the sail.
And we start adding some white precisely on the sail.
The Sun will be here.
But just barely visible, just translucent.
And for the I´m using a Titanium White, which is a bit brighter.
And we smudge it with the fresh paint of the sky.
Down here let´s add some reflections of the Sun.
Very good!
A little bit more color to the sail and boat, and then let´s add the reflection
of it... like so.
The reflection is not totally straight is a curving, zigzagging, or broken line.
Well the reflection can be in many ways and it depends a lot on the magnitude
of the ways.
If the water where totally flat like a mirror, then the reflection
of course would be a lot straighter.
But here since it is the sea even that it is calm, there are some waves.
Finally we add some brilliant spots, some reflections, and it´s ready!
