Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

  • Set up your workspace with all materials from the Paint-Your-Own Pack.
  • Review the included color wheel to familiarize yourself with the primary palette used in this painting.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

  • Place the line drawing over your canvas, or refer to the optional artist's grid for accurate composition alignment.
  • Lightly sketch the main geometric shapes and lines on your canvas using a pencil, ensuring each section matches the guide.

Painting the Background

  1. Sky: Start at the top of the canvas with a base layer of soft blue using broad strokes. Blend in hints of peach to create depth.
  2. Sunset: Focus on the central section with a gradient from deep orange to pale yellow, capturing the vibrant sunset.
  3. Sea: Apply layers of turquoise and deep blue for the lower sections, mirroring the reflections of the sunset.

Creating the Geometric Patterns

  1. Outline Shapes: With a fine brush, use gold or a deep brown to outline the geometric rectangles. This adds structure and contrast.
  2. Fill Sections: Refer to the color palette and fill each individual rectangle. Utilize combinations of beige, sky blue, and soft pinks to add variety.

Adding Details and Final Touches

  1. Reflections: Enhance the reflection of the sun on the water with a mix of light yellows and whites, ensuring smooth gradients.
  2. Textured Finishes: Introduce texture within larger blocks of color by stippling with a dry brush to simulate rugged landscapes and water ripples.

Review and Adjust

  • Step back and assess the balance of colors and shapes. Make any necessary adjustments for symmetry and depth.
  • Allow the painting to dry completely before display.

By following these steps, you will recreate the captivating scene of Calgary Bay, bringing its abstract beauty into your own space.
