Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings included in your pack serve as a guide for outlining the key elements of the painting. If using the artist's grid, align your canvas and use the grid to ensure accurate composition.

Instructions

Prepare the Canvas
- Set up your canvas on a stable surface.
- If desired, sketch the main outlines using the provided line drawing. Use light pencil marks that can be easily covered by paint.
Sky and Clouds
- Mix sky blue with a touch of white. Using a flat brush, paint the sky, starting at the top and blending downward.
- For clouds, blend white with a small amount of sky blue. Use a round brush to create soft cloud shapes.
Sea and Waves
- Mix turquoise with white to get a lighter sea color. Begin painting the sea from the horizon line, blending darker blues towards the foreground.
- Add wave crests using pure white and a detail brush, focusing on areas where the sea meets the shore for contrast.
Foreground and Beach
- Mix white with a touch of sandy brown for the beach. Use a flat brush to fill in this area, using broad strokes.
- Add texture with various earth tones, incorporating a mix of brown, orange, and green to depict the rocky, grassy landscape.
Cliffs and Rocks
- Combine dark blue and black for shadow areas on the cliffs. Use a flat brush to define the rock formations, referencing the line drawing.
- Layer lighter shades of brown and green to add dimension and highlight sunlit areas.
Final Details
- Using a detail brush, refine any edges and add smaller details such as additional wave highlights or crevice shadows on the rocks.
- Step back and ensure a balanced composition. Make any necessary adjustments to color or detail for harmony.
