Write an article based on this "Create a value chart of colors."
article: You'll need to determine which colors to use in your painting to best convey how the sea looks. It can help to make a value chart of colors before starting to paint your sea drawing.  Gather your paints together, focusing on the colors you're most likely to use. For an ocean, that will likely be blues, purples, greens, and whites. Pick a color and, without diluting the paint in water at all, draw a small line of it on a sheet of paper. This is the strongest shade of this particular color. Then, add a small amount of water and draw another line. Continue this process until the color slowly fades into white. This will give you a sense of the full spectrum of that color and an idea of how much water you should add to get your desired shade.  Repeat this process will all the colors you're going to use on your painting.

article: Once you've gotten past knee-deep into the water, get on the board in the correct position and start paddling out, toward the waves. Use the paddling motion with your hands and kick with both your feet just below the water's surface for the strongest propulsion. The nose of the board should be about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) above water. If you're just starting out, you should avoid any waves that are too high and fast, or generally out of your comfort zone. Pick waves that are headed straight toward the beach and that won't make you travel too high or too fast. Once you've found your wave, you should turn toward the beach and start kicking toward it, waiting to be brought forward by the current of the wave. The wave should be steep enough to move you forward, but it has to not have broken yet. To improve your chances of finding a good wave, look out for the place where most of the waves are breaking. You should wait for the waves about 5-10 feet beyond that location. You should feel yourself traveling faster as the wave approaches you. If you want some extra speed, you can push down the nose of your board slightly to move even faster. If the wave is moving too fast for your comfort, then you can do the opposite, pushing the nose up an inch or two to get some friction and slow yourself down. Continue to kick your feet as you travel down the face of the wave. You can also lean slightly into the wave to improve your speed. You can also choose to go right or left here. To go left, lean your hips toward the left side of the board and place your left elbow on the upper left side deck of the board, while holding onto the upper right edge of your board with your free hand. To go right, do the opposite.

Write an article based on this "Drain the gas tank, and clean it inside and out with soapy water. Cut a plastic patch, made of a similar material to the gas tank, slightly larger than the hole to be repaired. Heat up an electric soldering gun, and drag it around the edge of the crack to create a trench. Allow to cool and dry completely."
article:
Lightly sand the perimeter of the area to be repaired.  Move the gun from side to side to push the plastic back into the trench. While the plastic is still soft from the soldering, lay the plastic patch over the area. Continue moving the soldering gun over the area to smooth the plastic, and fuse them together. Mix a 2 part epoxy glue, and cover the entire area of the patch. Allow to set up, sand and spray on a coat of plastic paint if desired.
