Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine standing on the shores of Scarista Beach, basking under the radiant glow of a vivid sunset. The painting captures this serene beauty with swirling colors that blend seamlessly across the canvas. An expansive orange sky dominates the upper section, descending into warm hues of pink and purple representing the sky and sand meeting the water. The lower half of the painting is filled with soft lavender and peach tones, evoking the gentle ebb and flow of the tide. This abstract style accentuates movement and tranquillity, inviting the viewer to experience the emotional essence of this breathtaking landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Brushes: Flat, Round, and Fan brushes
  • Canvas (as provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack)
  • Palette and cloths or paper towels

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

In your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you will find line drawings and an optional grid layout. Use these to accurately map out the core shapes and areas of your painting. The grid will help you maintain proportion and placement of elements as seen in the source image.

Step 1: Sketch the Outline

  1. Start by using the line drawings to sketch the outline lightly onto your canvas. Use the grid if you need help with scale and composition accuracy.
  2. Focus on the broad sweeping lines where the beach meets the sea and the division of the horizon where the sky begins.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Mix a vibrant orange with a touch of yellow for the sky. Use a flat brush to apply the paint in horizontal strokes across the top third of your canvas.
  2. Add depth and movement by blending in lighter touches of yellow and white, particularly toward the horizon.
  3. Optionally, use a fan brush to softly blur these colors, mimicking the subtle gradients of a sunset sky.

Step 3: Paint the Middle Section

  1. Using a mix of pink and red, create the transitional colors that define the mid-section of the piece. Apply with a round brush for soft circular motions.
  2. Blend in some light beige or white where the sand begins, to contrast with the richer purple tones of the sea’s edge.

Step 4: Paint the Sea and Beach

  1. Create the stunning purple tones for the sea with a mix of lavender, purple, and a touch of white to bring out softness and reflection.
  2. Apply these with broad, gentle strokes to follow the curve of the beach.
  3. Finish the lower section with diluted pink and beige to represent the wet sands, blending softly into the other colors.

Step 5: Final Touches

  1. Add finishing details to enhance depth, such as light purple highlights across the sea, using a smaller round brush.
  2. Layer additional hues to heighten contrast, particularly where the sea and sky meet.
  3. Allow your painting to dry thoroughly.
Tip: Regularly step back from your canvas to see how your colors and composition are shaping up. This will help maintain balance and harmony throughout your painting.
