Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Preparing Your Workspace

  • Set up your canvas and secure it in a well-lit area.
  • Place your Paint-Your-Own Pack components nearby.
  • If using, overlay the artist's grid on your canvas for accurate composition.

Step 2: Sketching the Outline

  • Use the included line drawings to sketch the basic outline of the landscape.
  • Focus on the prominent elements: the rocky shore, the mountains, and the sun.

Step 3: Painting the Sky

  • Begin by painting the sky with a mix of warm oranges, pinks, and purples.
  • Blend the colors smoothly, creating a gradient effect towards the setting sun.
  • Pay attention to the clouds, adding hints of purple and orange light reflections.

Step 4: Detailing the Sun and Its Reflection

  • Paint the sun with vibrant yellows and oranges.
  • Extend these colors downward to create the sun’s shimmering reflection on the water.
  • Employ short, horizontal brush strokes for the reflection effect.

Step 5: Painting the Mountains

  • Use cool blues and purples to outline the distant mountains.
  • Blend softly to replicate depth and distance.

Step 6: Adding the Water and Waves

  • Mix blues and greens for the sea, adding movement with curved brush strokes to depict waves.
  • Highlight the waves' crests with white to suggest foam.

Step 7: Detailed Foreground

  • Paint the rocky shore with deep browns and blacks, using angular strokes to create texture.
  • Incorporate hints of the sky’s hues on the wet rocks for reflection.

Step 8: Final Touches

  • Make final adjustments, ensuring smooth transitions between different elements.
  • Step back and refine any small areas to complete your painting.

Using the Grid

If you opted for the artist’s grid, use it to align elements precisely. Focus on matching lines and positions between your canvas and the provided grid template.
