Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid in the Paint-Your-Own Pack will help you accurately outline the composition. Choose between the line drawing for simplicity or use the grid version for precise scaling and adherence to the original layout.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Use the line drawing or grid to outline the main elements: the horizon line, the sun, mountains, rocks, and shoreline.
  2. Ensure the proportions match the source image by aligning with the grid lines if used.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Start with a wash of yellow around the sun, blending outward with orange and then red towards the top and edges.
  2. Use a flat brush for smooth gradients and blend the colors while they are wet for a seamless transition.
  3. Add hints of warm tones where necessary to replicate the source painting’s atmosphere.

Step 3: Create the Sea

  1. Layer the sea using horizontal strokes. Start with a mix of red and orange, adding yellow reflections from the sun.
  2. Indicate waves with white and blend lightly to mimic the natural movement of water.
  3. Darken the sea further from the sun with touches of black to reflect the evening light.

Step 4: Add the Mountains and Beach

  1. Utilize darker tones such as black and brown to outline the distant mountains. Add depth with gradients and highlights.
  2. For the beach, use browns with slight variations to depict sand and rocks. Incorporate shadows using deeper browns and blacks.

Step 5: Detail the Foreground and Birds

  1. Focus on the rocks by mixing warm and cool tones to provide texture and contrast. Use a detail brush for finer lines.
  2. Add seagulls in the sky with swift, short strokes of black for wings, giving an impression of flight.
  3. Revise any components for enhanced detail and accuracy, referring back to the source image as needed.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Review your painting for any adjustments. Enhance contrasts or smooth transitions where necessary.
  2. Let the painting dry thoroughly before displaying.

Enjoy re-creating the stunning view of Achmelvich Beach, embracing the warm glow of a setting sun in your artwork!
