Red Sky in the Morning - Nic Hankins

joha59 25 Oct 2026

This painting I did last friday and it is a scene from the Joy of Painting with Nicholas Hankins season 3 episode 10. Just a typical Bob Ross seascape, but done with only two colors: bright red and pt. green. Because the mixture of these colors results in a kind of grey, you can vary it to the red or the green side and without white it is a very dark color, perfect to paint the sea, beach, birds and the sky. I did it on wallpaper of 40 x 30 cm..

Well done Felix and thanks for all your hard work.

I love this work as well Nic!

Very nice Jos. I think the dark tones in the beach balance the brightness of the sky very well.

Lovely waves and sky Jos! A fun exercise in color mixing. Great crasher.

Thank you very much Colin, Helen and Larry!

Gorgeous...love beach scenes!

Thank you Sandy!

Amazing what you can do with 2 colors! So well done. Really like the reflection of the sky in the water on the beach. I can imagine a wave crashes, water rushes back out to the ocean and the reflection appears. That wave is fantastic. Great job with this.

Thank you Dan, indeed these two colors were great to work with!
