Step-by-Step Painting Instructions

1. Sky and Sea

Base Layers: Begin by applying a light blue wash over the sky and sea areas. Use wide, horizontal strokes with a flat brush. Let this layer dry.
Clouds: Add layers of white to form clouds. Focus on soft, swirling motions to mimic the abstract style.
Depth in Sea: Use a mix of dark blue and teal to add depth in the sea, particularly near the horizon. Employ gentle waves in your brushwork.

2. Distant Hills

Base Color: Using a mix of green and a touch of yellow, paint the distant hills. Ensure a smooth transition from the sea to land.
Shadows and Highlights: Apply dark green to the shadows and a lighter green to highlight the sunlit areas. Use a small round brush for detail.

3. Foreground Patterns

Swirls and Lines: Refer to the line drawings to guide the placement of major swirl lines in the foreground. Use a medium round brush with teal and white to emphasize these features.
Colors and Flow: Integrate multiple shades of blue and green to fill in the patterns. Allow some white to remain visible for contrast.
Details: Use a fine detail brush to refine edges and enhance the sense of motion within the swirling patterns.

4. Final Touches

Review the painting and add any needed adjustments to color balance and shape accuracy.
Incorporate small amounts of black for depth in the darkest areas.
Let your painting dry completely before moving it from the easel.

Enjoy the process of recreating the dynamic beauty of Ardtun Bay with your own artistic interpretation!
