Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or thick art paper
  • Acrylic paints: Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Orange, Ultramarine Blue, Dioxazine Purple, Titanium White
  • Brushes: Flat brush, round brush, detail brush
  • Palette for mixing
  • Water container and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Paint-Your-Own Pack materials: line drawings, sketches, grid version, color wheel

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings provide an outline to assist with composition placement. If you prefer more structure, use the grid version to ensure accuracy. Start by lightly sketching using the grid as a guide, matching each section of your canvas with the corresponding part of the grid in the drawing. This helps accommodate accurate proportions and layout.

Painting Instructions

  1. Background and Sky
    • Begin with the sky. Use a large flat brush to apply Yellow Ochre mixed with a touch of white at the top of the canvas. Blend downward into Cadmium Orange towards the horizon, creating a smooth transition.
    • Lighten your brush strokes as you move towards the midsection of the canvas, allowing the orange to blend softly into the lighter tones.
  2. Horizon Line
    • Using a detail brush, accentuate the horizon with a line of more concentrated Cadmium Orange mixed with a hint of Red for depth.
  3. Sea and Foreground
    • Switch to Ultramarine Blue for the sea. Use gentle horizontal strokes. Lightly blend in White to reflect the sky’s glow.
    • Below this, add wide swathes of Dioxazine Purple. Using a flat brush, emphasize the curvature of the beach.
    • In areas where the sea meets the shore, subtly blend the blue and purple to create a natural gradient.
  4. Depth and Shadows
    • In the bottom corners, apply more Ultramarine Blue and Dioxazine Purple to add depth. Mix in slight touches of black if needed for darker shades.
    • Blend smoothly with a slightly damp brush to avoid harsh lines.
  5. Final Touches
    • Assess the balance of the colors and smooth any transitions that need softening.
    • Add any highlights using white to capture the light’s reflection on water.
    • Allow the painting to dry completely before applying a protective varnish if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Experiment with brush technique on spare paper if unsure about strokes or blending.
  • Use the provided color wheel to match and create a harmonious palette.
  • Take breaks to step back and view your work from a distance; this often highlights areas for improvement.
