Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings offer a structural guide to help map out key elements of the painting. Use these as a base for your composition. The optional artist grid can aid in accurate placement and proportion of every component in the scene.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace:
    • Set up your canvas and ensure you have adequate lighting.
    • Have your color wheel and sketches at hand for reference.
  2. Sketch the Composition:
    • Lightly sketch the main elements using the line drawing as a guide.
    • If using the grid, align it with your canvas to ensure proportions are correct.
  3. Block in the Background:
    • Mix and apply a vibrant orange for the sky, fading into yellow towards the horizon.
    • Build up layers gradually for a rich, glowing effect.
  4. Paint the Cliffs:
    • Use deep blues with hints of purple to capture the distant cliffs on either side.
    • Apply broad, sweeping brushstrokes to create texture and depth.
  5. Capture the Sea:
    • Incorporate the blues and purples for the water, using dynamic strokes to suggest movement.
    • Blend colors smoothly where the sea meets the horizon, adding reflective accents.
  6. Add Foreground Details:
    • Introduce warmer pinks and reds into the sandy foreground, blending with the waterline.
    • Add subtle outlines and highlights to indicate textures and shadows.
  7. Fine-Tune the Painting:
    • Refine the transitions between colors, ensuring a harmonious balance.
    • Adjust any elements as needed to align with your vision.
  8. Final Touches:
    • Allow the painting to dry and revisit any areas needing enhancement.
    • Sign your work and let it dry completely before displaying.

Enjoy the process of creating your own vibrant piece of Sandwood Bay, capturing the essence of Scotland's beautiful coastline.
