Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Prepare Your Workspace
- Ensure your workspace is well-lit and ventilated.
- Lay out all your materials and make sure your canvas is secure on an easel or flat surface.
Understanding the Composition
- Review the grid version included in the pack. Use it to sketch the main outlines on your canvas. The grid helps maintain proportions and placement accuracy.
- Identify key elements: the sea, foreground rocks, hills, and sky.
Background and Sky
- Mix light blue with a touch of white and paint the sky area using broad, horizontal strokes.
- Blend in wisps of white to represent clouds, keeping the brushwork loose and natural.
Define the Distant Hills
- Use muted blues and greens to paint the distant hills. Apply thin layers to create depth.
- Add highlights with lighter shades to show sunlight reflecting off the crests.
Paint the Water
- Apply turquoise as the base color for the bay, using sweeping horizontal strokes.
- Introduce variations by adding hints of darker blue and lighter aqua to create movement.
Foreground Details
- Begin with the sandy beaches using a mix of white, yellow, and a touch of sienna.
- Add the vibrant rocky outcrops with oranges, reds, and deep browns. Use bold, angular strokes to create texture.
- Paint grasses and shrubs using quick, upward strokes of green and yellow, reflecting the light and energy of the scene.
Final Touches
- Add fine details and highlights using smaller brushes. Focus on the play of light across the landscape.
- Step back frequently to view the work as a whole, ensuring harmony and balance.

Utilizing the Line Drawings and Grid

Use the provided line drawings for an initial sketch on your canvas, following the grid method to replicate the composition accurately. The grid ensures proportionality, which is crucial for achieving the correct layout and maintaining the dynamic balance of the piece.
