Sea & Shore: Recipes and Stories from a Kitchen in Cornwall (Host chef of 2021 G7 Summit)

Product Information

Juxtaposing light and dark values to create strong contrasts is a technique that is well suited to watercolor. Try to find ways to include strong contrasts in your beach scenes. Choose a viewpoint painting into the light which naturally creates silhouettes. Gathering clouds, reflections of the sky in wet sand ,sparkling light reflected on the sea water are all good candidates for creating drama and interest . The colors I tend to favor for sand are Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber and Burnt Umber in various combinations. Raw Sienna and Burnt Sienna need to be handled with particular care as they can easily become too intense. Start with very weak washes. Raw Umber is probably the safest option but still works best in very dilute washes. As always, in watercolor it’s easy to add more but not so easy to take it away.

Sea and Shore Safety Sea and Shore Safety

Just like flat expanses of water, wet sand reflects everything above it like a mirror. Though the colors and values will be less intense in the reflection. One of the general rules of atmospheric perspective in landscape painting is that elements become paler the further away they are. For example distant fields will be lighter and bluer than close ones. If you observe the sea though, you may notice that this rule is often reversed. There is definitely no single paint tube that I can point you to that is the definitively correct color of the sea. Sea color depends upon a myriad of factors. Where I live, for instance, the sea can range from cool grays and greens through to intense turquoise and plum purple depending on the weather, the time of year/day, the color of the sand and the amount of vegetation and minerals in the water. So you will need to decide on a color palette that feels right to you. Oxford definition) The land along a coast, especially when you are thinking of its shape or appearance. If you’ve had success using a completely different palette to mine, I’d love to know what you use. Let me know by leaving a comment underneath. I’m always keen to test out new ideas and suggestions.

Continents

From coastal wiki) The strip of land that extends from the coastline inland to the first major change in the terrain features, which are not influenced by the coastal processes. The main types of coastal features are dunes, cliffs and low-lying areas, possibly protected by dikes or seawalls. Your color palette will, no doubt differ from mine, so I offer the following color palette list as a suggestion only. From coastal wiki) Technically the line that forms the boundary between the COAST and the SHORE, i.e. the foot of the cliff or the foot of the dunes. Commonly, the line that forms the boundary between the land and the water. I tend to avoid Pthalo Blue as it is such an artificial looking blue that I feel that I would have to tame it considerably but many other painters would not have a problem with using it and do so successfully. So don’t take any of this as gospel. Harmony And Contrast

Above and Below: Sea and Shore: Lift the flaps to see nature

Plan for these contrasts and harmonies by being aware of them and choosing a color palette that plays to those strengths. You can change the whole mood of a painting by leaning the whole painting towards the cooler or warmer side of the color wheel. Or by making a large area of warm or cool color dominant in your painting. However, the word can in some contexts also just mean "next to the sea/lake/river". For example: "I have a house on the shore" means your house is next to physical shore as defined above (but not necessarily that it is actually on the beach itself or anything like that). Sand needs to be handled carefully. It can be surprisingly problematic to depict convincingly. Sand can vary a lot in its value particularly when wet. It can range from very dull warm neutrals to cool blues and pale pinks and violets. It’s almost never yellow though.A shore can be on a lake or a river (unlike coast, which is only used with open water). So shore is equivalent to coast in the context of rivers and lakes. You would only use it for large rivers though; otherwise use "bank" or "riverbank". In the painting of my son Alex on the beach at Waipu Cove. On Arches 300gsm. I mainly used two brushes. A no. 6 round brush and a half inch flat brush. I’ve tried to include as much dramatic contrast as possible by painting directly into the light and positioning the figure for maximum contrast. The effect of light shimmering on the water was done by dragging the nearly dry round brush horizontally across the paper allowing the texture of the paper to create the white space.

From dictionary definition it might mean that they are similar, but in reality or in actual ocean terminology they are not similar.

Beach = Shore, but flat and usually with at least some sand or very small stones. The more sand, the better the beach! It is also used as a general term for "the land", hence "ashore" means on the land, as opposed to at sea. "The ship was heading to the shore" could just mean it was heading towards land. The expression "ship to shore communications" just means "communications between someone on a boat and someone on the land".
