Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic paints: Deep Blue, Sky Blue, Sand Beige, Forest Green, Dark Brown, White
Brushes: Flat brush, Round brush, Fan brush
Canvas or painting paper
Palette or mixing tray
Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Before you begin painting, make sure your canvas is primed and ready. Use a light gesso layer if necessary and let it dry.

Step 2: Using the Line Drawing and Grid

Line Drawing: Start by referring to the line drawing included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Lightly sketch the basic outlines onto your canvas with a pencil. These lines will guide your composition.

Grid Technique: If you're using the grid, lightly draw the grid lines on your canvas as shown in the PDF. This will help maintain proportions and ensure accuracy in your painting.

Step 3: Painting the Sky

Background Layer: Mix Deep Blue with a touch of Dark Brown to paint the ominous clouds. Use broad strokes to cover the upper part of the sky.
Sky Highlights: Add Sky Blue mixed with White to your brush, and lightly stroke across to create dynamic streaks of lighter clouds, focusing on the area just above the horizon.

Step 4: Creating the Distant Hills

Use Forest Green mixed with a bit of Dark Brown to outline the distant hills.
Blend in little patches of Dark Blue to enhance depth and create shadows on the hill's slopes.

Step 5: The Seascape

Paint the ocean using a combination of Deep Blue and smaller amounts of White. Allow your brush to mimic the wave patterns.
Use Sand Beige with a fan brush to create the foam and breaking waves near the shore.

Step 6: Detailing the Beach

For the beach, apply a base of Sand Beige with hints of White to capture the sunlit sand.
Add bolder strokes of Forest Green mixed with Yellow for the grassy patches, providing contrast and variety.
Create texture by adding touches of orange, suggesting warmth and sunlight.

Step 7: Final Touches

Refine the details with a small round brush, enhancing depth and highlights where needed.
Stand back and look at your painting to see if balance and composition work well. Make adjustments if necessary.

Once finished, allow the painting to dry completely before displaying your artwork proudly. Each stroke and hue reflects the timeless beauty of Balmedie Beach, a testament to your artistic journey.
