The colors I used in this set include:

The water is: brilliant blue, phthalocyanine blue, and white combinations. Add black to the blue in the shadow areas. White is used for the waves.
The sand is: Bronze metallic with white. Bronze yellow and white can also be used.
The sunset is: magenta with cadmium yellow and white (use water to make it transparent)

No beginner ever said "ok I'm gonna stop here" 😂 we wanna do everything, we wanna go all the way.

Simply beautiful. Thanks so much for making this video and sharing your talent and knowledge.

Really great. This helped me to paint a beach scene. I love that you painted it right out there on the beach. Very unique. One of a kind teaching.

Wow. You are such a good mom. What a beautiful life you have. God bless you all. Thanks for your positive energy and sharing painting experiences with us. ❤

FINALLY! Someone with a REAL Step by Step how to paint something video for everyone. THANK YOU Ashley for EXPLAINING what you are doing and why. Unless you have a "natural talent", teaching art is MORE than just "watch me do it", you need to communicate WHY you are doing what your doing to help your students gain a deeper understanding of the tricks and techniques YOU are using. Although these may change from artist to artist, being able to learn a handful of these various techniques from different artists, and make them my own, has vastly improved my painting skills. Your approach is more like the late Bob Ross' method who took the time to explain the techniques he was using rather than just show you he can paint a picture over music. I can't wait to see your other videos!

Thank you, Ashley, for this amazing tutorial! Your step-by-step method is perfect for beginner and intermediate artists. I loved learning different painting techniques such as color mixing, dry brush, glazing, and blending. Your explanation is clear and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your skills and passion with us!

A huge thankyou. You are a gifted artist and a gifted teacher. Took me most of today to get something that remotely looked like yours but I learned so much along the way. It was my first painting since childhood (when the dinosaurs walked the planet) and I could not paint then. You are an inspiration. I must say it is also very pleasant watching you, so calm and serene. Thankyou again.

I have no interest in painting, but I LOVE watching people like you, paint with dialogue of what you're doing. Dunlop & Ross are two I can think of and now YOU. Thank you

[michelleart]

Thank you Ashley for being so generous by sharing. Ashley you have great talent and potential which I hope keeps rolling like the waves of the sea. And Ohmygosh! You are so modest unlike so many shameless women that I have to compliment you.

Wow! When that pink came in it really added depth to that scene. It went from a flat painting to a picture of the ocean. I like the way you had to wait until the sun started setting in order to show us what you were adding with that. Nice!

[carenotr]

I absolutely love this painting and it's amazing how well you taught this acrylic novice so much in one painting! Love your enthusiasm and really appreciate how you took it step by step so we could follow you!!.

[stephaniesingleton]

Oh is so beautiful! I never thought of using silver and bronze ! Wow thank you for the video!

[beatorres]

I miss the ocean. You painted this beautifully!

[susancaulfield]

[shirleyfraser]

Love it, I always wanted to paint a seascape. This will help me a lot. Thank you!

[deborahwoodley-page]

Really nice colours. Afternoon at the beach with the kids is magic, your colours captured that beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

[tiffmercer]

Watching you is like watching Bob Ross...magic. I like your style better though. You make it look so easy!!

[rosettajantzen]

OMG I've never seen an ocean painted this way. I feel like I can actually do it and I loved the sound effects when you talked about the wave crashing❤😊
