Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by using the included line drawings to outline the main elements of the painting on your canvas. The optional grid version can help with composition accuracy by allowing you to transfer elements to their exact locations. Match grid sections with your canvas to maintain proportions.

Painting Instructions

Background Sky
- Use a flat brush to apply a gradient wash of color, starting with orange at the top and transitioning to yellow towards the horizon.
- Add smooth strokes of red and orange for cloud highlights, blending softly into the sky to create a seamless gradient.
Sun and Reflection
- With a round brush, paint the sun as a bright white circle. Ensure its position aligns with your grid or line drawing.
- Use a small brush to paint the sun's reflection on the water in a slightly zigzag pattern, to mimic the rippling effect.
Landscape Elements
- Mix grey and black to paint the distant hills and rocks. Use a detailed brush to ensure clean, defined lines.
- Repeat the same for the foreground rocks, adding hints of shadow with darker grey for depth and texture.
Boats
- Paint the boats with a mix of black and dark grey, adding small white highlights for realism.
- Add red accents to the boats to enhance depth and vibrancy.
- Ensure the boat reflections in the water are slightly blurred with subtle horizontal strokes.
Final Touches
- Add small birds in the sky using black paint and a detail brush, placing them strategically across the canvas.
- Review your painting for balance and add any additional highlights or details necessary to complete the artwork.

Finishing Up

Allow your painting to dry completely. Stand back and admire your work, ensuring all elements are cohesive and balanced. This vibrant piece captures the essence of Achmelvich Bay, bringing its serene beauty to life through your own creative expression.
