Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by transferring the line drawing to your canvas. If using the grid version, lightly draw a matching grid on your canvas to aid in accurate placement of features. This will help maintain the composition as you proceed through each step.

1. Painting the Sky

Background Layer: Use a large brush to apply a gradient wash starting with deep purple at the top, blending into vibrant reds and oranges as you move downwards.
Cloud Formation: With a medium brush, add dynamic strokes of crimson and orange clouds, allowing them to suggest movement and depth.
Details: Refine the edges of the clouds using a smaller brush to add highlights and subtle transitions between colors.

2. Painting the Cliffs

Base Colors: Use a mixture of earthy tones with hints of red and purple to block in the cliffs on both sides of the canvas.
Details: With a smaller brush, add shadows and texture to simulate the rocky surface, using darker tones for depth.
Reflections: Introduce the reflection of the cliffs onto the water, using slightly lighter and blended shades.

3. Painting the Ocean

Base Water: Begin with strokes of light blue and turquoise for the ocean, transitioning to deeper navy as it approaches the horizon.
Wave Crests: Use white paint to create foamy wave tips and highlights.
Adjustment: Smoothly blend the meeting point of the ocean and sky to ensure a natural transition.

4. Painting the Beach

Sand Base: Apply a soft blend of beige and pink to the foreground, capturing the sun-drenched sand tone.
Reflections and Patterns: Using a fine brush, incorporate the vivid reflections from the sky onto the wet sand.
Detail and Texture: Add subtle variations and ripples using an angular brush technique.

5. Final Touches

Enhancing Colors: Once dry, revisit and deepen any areas needing richer color or additional contrast.
Signing: Add your signature subtly in the corner.
Varnishing: If desired, apply a protective varnish once the painting has dried thoroughly.

With patience and attention to detail, you will capture the spirit of Durness Beach. Keep the included color wheel nearby to guide your color choices and enjoy the process of creating this beautiful landscape!
