Preparation

Select your workspace and set up your canvas or painting surface.
Study the source image to understand the composition and color transitions.
Choose whether to use the line drawing or grid template to sketch your composition onto the canvas.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The line drawing provides a simplified version of the painting to guide your placement of key elements. Alternatively, the grid version allows you to accurately scale and position the components of the painting by breaking the image down into smaller sections.

Painting Instructions

Step 1: Sky and Clouds

Using a flat brush, apply a smooth layer of sky blue to the upper two-thirds of the canvas.
Mix light yellow and white with a touch of blue to create the cloud colors. Use a round brush to dab and blend the clouds into the sky, maintaining a light touch for subtlety.
Introduce small amounts of navy along the underside of the clouds for depth.

Step 2: Horizon and Distant Land

At the horizon line, use a mix of navy and black to outline the distant land. Keep it narrow but prominent.
Blend the horizon with the sky and sea using a small brush or palette knife, achieving a seamless transition.

Step 3: Sands and Reflections

Begin with the mid-ground, applying warm yellow with a flat brush to represent the sandy beach.
Incorporate blends of light pink and off-white to highlight areas where light reflects off the sand.
Use a palette knife to apply coral and orange hues in abstract strokes for the foreground sand's texture.
Blend colors with horizontal strokes to mimic natural reflections and transitions.

Step 4: Finishing Details

With a round brush, add fine details to the clouds and distant land, using darker shades where necessary.
Introduce more white and off-white highlights across the beach, emphasizing areas of light and shadow.
Use a detail brush to refine edges and blend transitions smoothly.
Step back periodically to evaluate balance and harmony within the painting.

Conclusion

Allow the painting to dry completely. Once finished, admire your depiction of Balmedie Beach, capturing its dreamy landscape and vibrant colors. Use the color wheel to appreciate the palette choices and learn how to blend effectively for future artworks.
