Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints in colors matching the palette provided in your pack.
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail sizes.
  • Canvas: size indicated in your PDF.
  • Pallet or mixing surface.
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

  1. Using the line drawing provided in your pack, lightly sketch the main outlines onto your canvas. Optionally, use the grid version to ensure proper composition and alignment.
  2. Ensure the canvas is primed and dry before starting to paint.

Step 2: Block in the Sky and Sea

  1. Mix a light blue color, referencing the color wheel from your pack.
  2. Apply this color to the sky area using large, flat brush strokes.
  3. For the sea, create a deep blue by slightly darkening your sky color. Use horizontal strokes to emphasize the calmness of the water.
  4. Allow the paint to dry before proceeding.

Step 3: Define the Landscape

  1. Mix a vibrant yellow and apply it to the fields in the middle ground, using the wide, flat brush.
  2. For the fields in the foreground, use a bold orange and pink, applying them in broad, textured strokes to create an abstract effect.
  3. Add in green hues around the houses to integrate them into the landscape.

Step 4: Paint the Houses

  1. Use whites and creams for the building exteriors, working with a smaller, round brush for precision.
  2. For roof details, use dark blues and blacks, ensuring to highlight the contrast between the roofs and the sky.
  3. Add windows and doors with careful, small strokes in contrasting colors like red or blue for visual pop.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

  1. Go over the entire painting, enhancing the vibrancy of colors where needed, and smoothing or sharpening edges to match the original's abstract style.
  2. Use a fine brush to add any remaining details, ensuring all areas are neatly integrated.
  3. Allow the painting to dry completely before touching up any areas or applying a protective varnish.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings give you a foundational guide for placing elements accurately on your canvas, serving as a roadmap for your painting. The optional grid version can be used to scale your work correctly by breaking down the image into smaller, manageable sections ensuring precision in replication.

With patience and practice, your painting will come to life with the vibrancy and serenity that captures the essence of Cullen’s beautiful coastline.
