Using Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid will help you accurately depict the composition of Achmelvich Bay. Use the grid for precise placement of key elements such as the shoreline, rocks, and mountains.

Painting Steps

Prepare Your Canvas
- Set up your workspace with all materials within reach.
- If desired, apply a base coat of light blue to your canvas to aid the blending of sky and sea.
Sketch the Composition
- Use the line drawing as a reference to sketch the basic outlines onto your canvas, using the optional grid for accuracy.
- Focus on major elements: the shoreline, rocks, hills, and sky.
Paint the Sky
- Begin with the sky, using a mix of blue and white to create varying clouds and shades.
- Use broad, smooth brushstrokes to blend softly, maintaining a light and airy appearance.
Render the Sea
- Mix different shades of turquoise, blue, and green for the water, using the colour wheel as a guide.
- Apply these in horizontal strokes, preserving the shimmering effect of the water.
Lay Down the Land
- Switch to earthy greens and browns for land and vegetation, creating subtle variations with your palette knife.
- Use directional strokes to portray the texture of grass along the bayside.
Detail the Rocks and Mountains
- Use greys, browns, and hints of purple for the rocky elements. Focus on natural contours and light/dark contrasts.
- For the distant mountains, use muted tones to suggest depth and incorporate indistinct details.
Refinements and Highlights
- Review your painting from a distance to identify areas needing refinement.
- Add highlights using lighter tones to suggest sunlight on the water, sand, and rocks.

Final Tips

Take breaks to view your work with fresh eyes.
Don’t rush—allow layers to dry if needed, especially when working with oils.
Enjoy the process and the serene beauty of Achmelvich Bay as you paint!
