Step-by-Step Painting Guide

  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Palette
  • Water or solvent (depending on paint type)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by using the provided line drawing or grid. The grid helps accurately position major elements of the landscape, ensuring composition accuracy. Transfer the basic outlines onto your canvas, focusing on the placement of the sky, hills, sea, and beach.

Step 1: Background

  1. Sky: Use broad flat brushes to fill in the sky with gradations of dark to light blues and grays. Work wet-on-wet for smooth transitions.
  2. Clouds: Add lighter strokes to form clouds, layering whites and softer grays. Use a dry brush to blend edges subtly for a natural effect.

Step 2: Middle Ground

  1. Sea: Paint the sea with horizontal strokes using varying tones of blue. Add lighter strokes to depict the sunlight glistening on the water.
  2. Hills: Use a combination of dark greens and browns for the distant hills, applying paint with short, dabbing strokes to suggest texture.

Step 3: Foreground

  1. Sand: Use light browns and yellows. Apply with sweeping strokes that follow the natural contours of the beach.
  2. Vegetation: Incorporate vibrant greens using a stippling technique with a round brush for grass and foliage details.

Step 4: Final Details

  • Shadows and Highlights: Add shadows with deeper tones of the existing colors. Highlight edges with lighter tones to enhance depth.
  • Texture: Use a dry brush to add texture to rocks and wave patterns for realism. Utilize small brushes for refining details.

Finishing Touches

Allow the painting to dry completely before adding any finishing touches. Step back periodically to assess the overall balance of colors and composition, making adjustments where necessary.

Enjoy the process and take inspiration from the tranquil beauty of Scarista Beach, capturing your own artistic essence in the painting.
