Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic or oil paints (see included colour wheel for palette)
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Palette for mixing colours
  • Water or solvent for cleaning brushes

Preparing Your Workspace

Ensure your workspace is well-lit and your canvas is securely positioned at a comfortable height. Have your colour palette and brushes within easy reach.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings can be transferred onto your canvas as a foundational guide. Use the grid version for additional composition accuracy. Begin by sketching lightly on the canvas.

  1. Sketch the Basic Outlines: Use the line drawing to sketch the horizon line, the outline of the beach, and the cloud formations. This will serve as the blueprint for your composition.
  2. Paint the Sky:
    • Mix shades of light and dark blues with touches of purple for the sky.
    • Begin with broader brush strokes, gradually defining the clouds using a rounded brush with lighter tones of whites and greys.
    • Add depth to the horizon by integrating darker blues closer to the top of the canvas.
  3. Define the Clouds:
    • Use a mixture of whites, light greys, and soft purples to add shading and volume to the clouds, using a round brush for smooth blending.
    • Highlight areas catching the most light with pure white.
  4. Paint the Ocean:
    • Blend turquoise, blue, and hints of grey to represent the variegated sea tones.
    • Use horizontal brush strokes to reflect the movement and texture of the waves.
    • Introduce white highlights to capture the surf breaking on the shore.
  5. Complete the Beach:
    • Mix warm sandy colours by combining yellow ochre and white.
    • Apply with a flat brush in sweeping motions to mimic the expansive sandy surface.
    • Blend shadows using soft purples and greys where the sky reflects on the wet sand.
  6. Add Final Details:
    • Use a finer brush with dark tones to depict rocks and any other details.
    • Refine cloud edges, ocean highlights, and beach details as needed to enhance realism and ensure the scene captures the essence of the landscape.

Once you have completed these steps, step back and review your painting. Make any necessary adjustments, allowing the emotional weight and beauty of Scarista Beach to shine through. Take breaks as needed, ensuring the process remains enjoyable and fulfilling.
