Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The St Cyrus Beach painting captures a breathtaking coastal scene at sunset, where the vibrant hues of the sky meet the rhythmic waves of the beach. The composition features a brilliant sun setting over the horizon, casting a golden pathway across the tranquil water. The sky is a symphony of rich purples, oranges, and pinks, contrasted by the deep blues of the ocean. This impressionistic style painting uses thick, expressive brushstrokes to convey the dynamic interaction between the sky, sea, and rugged coastline. The beach reflects the warm colors of the sunset, adding depth and warmth. The entire scene evokes a sense of peace and wonder at the beauty of nature.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or painting surface
Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the color palette for specific colors)
Brushes: flat, round, and liner brushes
Palette knife
Palette for mixing colors
Water or medium for thinning paint
Cloth or paper towels

Getting Started

Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure you have good lighting. Lay out all materials and protect surfaces with newspaper or a drop cloth.
Review the Source Image: Study the source painting image included in your PDF pack to familiarize yourself with the composition and color palette.
Use the Line Drawing: Start by transferring the simple line drawing to your canvas. You can use tracing paper or a grid method for accuracy.

Underpainting

Base Layer: Apply a thin wash of neutral color (e.g., light beige) over your canvas. This will help unify your colors.
Mark Key Areas: Lightly sketch the main shapes and lines, like the horizon, sun, and larger rocks, using a brush or pencil.

Painting the Sky

Begin with the Sky: Start with the uppermost part of the canvas, using purples and blues. Work your way down using pinks and oranges, blending the colors at the edges to depict a seamless gradient.
Clouds and Sun: Add clouds with bold, swift strokes using light grays and whites. Paint the sun with bright yellows and whites, adding softer hues around it to create a glowing effect.

Painting the Ocean

Ocean Base: Use deep blues for the base color of the ocean. As you move towards the shore, blend in lighter blues and whites to create the effect of waves.
Highlights: Use a palette knife to apply lighter colors on top of the darker sea to depict highlights and the sun’s reflection.

Adding the Beach and Rocks

Beach Colors: Use warmer earth tones: ochres, browns, and hints of red for the beach. Reflect some sky colors for realism.
Painting Rocks: Use dark browns and blacks for the base of the rocks. Add dimension with lighter highlights on top using a palette knife.

Final Touches

Refine Details: Add smaller details such as subtle texture to the clouds and water ripples with a liner brush.
Assess and Adjust: Step back and assess your painting. Add touches of color or refine areas that need more definition.
Finish: Let the painting dry thoroughly. Consider sealing it with a varnish for protection.

Remember, use the artists' grid version if you need assistance with composition accuracy. The color wheel included will guide your palette choices. Enjoy the process, and don’t rush—immersing yourself in the art is as rewarding as the result!
