Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or paper (your choice of size)
Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes
Acrylic or oil paints: Primary colors, earth tones, and white
Palette for mixing colors
Water or solvent for cleaning brushes

Getting Started

Utilize the provided line drawings or grid version to outline the composition on your canvas. These aids help in accurately positioning key elements like the horizon line, beach contours, and rock shapes.

Background and Sky
- Begin with the sky. Use a broad flat brush to apply a base layer of light blue, transitioning to darker blue towards the top. Blend smoothly to achieve a gradient effect.
- For the distant hills, mix a muted blue-grey color. Use sweeping horizontal strokes to paint their outlines, creating the illusion of depth.
Middle Ground - Beach and Water
- Using a bright yellow mixed with white, paint the sandy areas. Use horizontal strokes to indicate the flatness of the beach.
- Mix different blues with a hint of green for the water. Apply smooth, horizontal strokes, adding hints of white for wave reflections.
Foreground - Rocks and Details
- For the rocks, blend darker earth tones with hints of orange and blue, giving them texture and depth. Use a combination of flat and round brushes for detailing.
- Add small patches of vibrant yellows and oranges to depict flowers or other foliage, adding life to the rocks.
Final Touches
- Refine the edges between different elements, ensuring that there are no harsh lines unless stylistically intended.
- Add small details along the waterline and rocks using a detail brush to enhance the realism and focus points.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer to the included colour wheel to maintain harmony in your palette. Balance warms and cools to reflect the natural ambient light and shadow. Adjust hues to match the source painting closely, ensuring a vibrant and cohesive result.

By the end of these steps, you should achieve a satisfying recreation of the vibrant and tranquil atmosphere of Calgary Bay. Enjoy the process of bringing this beautiful seascape to life on your canvas!
