Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Set of acrylic or oil paints (refer to color wheel for palette)
  • Brushes: various sizes including fine detail brushes
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Painter's tape (optional for clean lines)

Preparation

  1. Unpack the Paint-Your-Own Pack and review the source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and artists grid.
  2. Set up your workspace with good lighting and ensure all materials are within reach.
  3. Decide whether to use the grid or line drawings for accuracy in composition.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawings: Lightly sketch the major shapes and lines on your canvas using a pencil, referring to the line drawings provided. This will serve as a guide for your composition.

Artists Grid: If using the grid method, mark out a grid on your canvas and use it to accurately place the key elements in your painting, matching them to the grid references in the source image.

Painting Process

  1. Background: Begin by painting the background elements. Use broad strokes to apply a base layer of light ochres and beiges for the sandy areas, and soft blues for the sky and horizon.
  2. Forms and Shapes: Block in the main geometric forms. Use painter's tape to ensure clean, straight lines. Apply deeper shades like charcoal and rust for contrasting foreground elements.
  3. Highlights and Shadows: Add depth by applying highlights and shadows. Use lighter colors for areas catching light, such as the tops of abstract forms, and darker tones for shadowed parts.
  4. Details: Refine the lines and shapes using a fine detail brush. Follow the provided sketches to emphasize the geometric intricacies and ensure all shapes are well-defined.
  5. Color Balance: Refer to the color wheel to adjust hues and ensure a harmonious balance throughout the painting. Include pops of color like red and yellow for visual interest.

Finishing Touches

  1. Step back and assess your painting. Make any necessary adjustments to color and detail.
  2. Allow your painting to fully dry, then remove any painter's tape if used, ensuring crisp edges.

Completing this painting is not only a creative journey but a way to connect with the abstract interpretation of Balmedie Beach. Enjoy the process of exploration and expression through color and form.
