Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Included in the Pack

  • Source painting image
  • Line drawings
  • Sketches
  • Artist’s grid version
  • Colour wheel with palette

Preparation

Unpack your materials and set up your workspace. Make sure you have the source image and line drawing or grid layout ready. The colour wheel will guide your palette choices throughout the process.

Step 1: Sketching the Composition

  1. Using the line drawing or the grid layout, lightly sketch the composition onto your canvas. Focus on the main elements: the beach, the sea, and the abstract shapes.
  2. Ensure that the proportions and placements match the source image for accuracy.

Step 2: Blocking in the Background

  1. Refer to the colour wheel and begin painting the sky and sea. Use soft blues and greens, blending gently to mimic the original painting's atmospheric effect.
  2. Let the background dry completely before proceeding.

Step 3: Painting the Beach

  1. Mix sand tones using light yellows and soft beige from your palette.
  2. Apply broad, sweeping brush strokes to emphasize the openness of the beach.
  3. Add subtle shadows to create depth, reflecting the natural play of light on sand.

Step 4: Adding Character with Abstract Elements

  1. Focus on the striking plant forms in the foreground. Use dark green hues to construct the linear, angular shapes.
  2. Add the pink abstract forms with boldness, allowing them to stand out against the beach background.
  3. Play with the textures, using varying brush techniques to capture the vibrancy and movement within the flora.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

  1. Review your painting for final adjustments. Ensure that the contrasts and colours replicate the source painting well.
  2. Add any final highlights or shadows for enhancement, especially around the abstract and natural elements.
  3. Allow your painting to dry thoroughly before displaying.

Congratulations on recreating your Balmedie Beach painting! Enjoy the vivid tranquility that your artwork brings to any space.
