Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures the dramatic essence of St Cyrus Beach, a breathtaking landscape where the sea meets the sky in a vivid display of contrasting colors. The bold brush strokes convey a sense of movement, with dark stormy clouds looming over the tranquil, light-reflecting waters. The sandy shore is painted with earthy tones, highlighted with vibrant blues and splashes of orange that add warmth and depth to the scene. This artwork, with an impressionistic flair, invites the viewer to feel the subtle interplay between nature’s fierce and serene elements.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or canvas board
Acrylic paints (colors include navy blue, sky blue, white, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, orange, black)
Brushes (variety of flat and round brushes)
Palette knife
Palette for mixing colors
Water container and cloth for cleaning brushes

Preparation

Use the included line drawing to lightly sketch the basic outlines on your canvas. If you prefer accuracy, the grid version can help maintain proportions and alignment with the source image. Begin by identifying the horizon line and key landmarks within the landscape. This provides the foundational structure for your painting.

Background and Sky

Mix a base color: Combine navy blue with a small amount of black to achieve a dark base tone.
Paint the sky: Starting from the top, use broad, sweeping strokes to cover the sky area with your dark base color, moving towards lighter blues and whites as you approach the horizon.
Add clouds: Layer lighter hues and white over the dark blue to create dimension and the impression of moving clouds.
Use a palette knife: Add texture by dragging the palette knife lightly across the wet paint to create the impressionistic style of the clouds.

Ocean and Shoreline

Color mix: Use shades of blue (sky blue and white) for the ocean, and browns (yellow ochre, burnt sienna) for sandy shores.
Paint the ocean: Apply darker blues near the horizon, gradually blending into lighter tones as you move down the canvas.
Create waves: Add strokes of white along the ocean’s edge to depict waves and sea foam.
Define the shoreline: Use a mix of browns with touches of blue for wet sand reflections. Add accents with orange to reflect vivid sands.

Foreground Details

Texture and depth: Use a palette knife to apply thicker layers of paint on the foreground. Introduce more vibrant colors such as orange and yellow ochre to bring warmth and contrast.
Details: Add small, defined strokes to simulate the intricate details of ripples and reflections on the wet sand.

Final Touches

Review and refine: Step back to evaluate the overall balance of color and composition. Adjust areas that need more depth or blending.
Highlights and shadows: Enhance contrast by adding pure white to the highlights and deepening shadows with additional dark tones.
Allow to dry: Let the painting dry thoroughly before applying any protective varnish.

By following these steps closely, you’ll achieve a detailed and accurate recreation of the dramatic landscape of St Cyrus Beach. Enjoy the process, and feel free to add your personal touch!
