Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and optional grid are designed to ensure your composition accurately reflects the original. The grid helps maintain correct proportions and perspectives. Begin by transferring the grid onto your canvas to guide your painting process effectively.

Painting Process

  1. Background Sky:
    • Mix white with a touch of blue to create a light, airy sky color.
    • Apply with a large brush in sweeping horizontal strokes to fill the sky area.
  2. Coastal Hills:
    • Blend various shades of green and earthy tones.
    • Use medium brushes to depict the rolling hills. Incorporate darker tones to add depth.
  3. Sea and Beach:
    • For the sea, use a mix of deep blues and hints of green.
    • Apply smoothing strokes parallel to the horizon.
    • The beach can be achieved by blending whites and beiges, adding curvature to reflect its natural shape.
  4. Cliffs and Buildings:
    • For the cliffs, use a combination of dark browns and blacks, defining edges boldly.
    • Paint the cottages with white; using yellow for the distinctive house, allowing it to stand out.
  5. Details and Final Touches:
    • Use fine brushes for windows, roof details, and power lines.
    • Add shadows for depth by mixing blacks with greens or blues subtly.
    • Ensure elements are harmonized by comparing with the provided line drawings as a reference.

Follow these steps closely, and let the spirit of Coldingham Bay guide your brush. Enjoy the meditative process of creation as the landscape unfolds on your canvas, capturing the essence of this Scottish haven.
