Step 1: Setting Up Your Canvas

Begin by lightly sketching the basic outline of the landscape using the provided line drawing. Use the optional artist's grid for composition accuracy if assembling the painting with precise proportions.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

  1. Base Layer: Start with a flat brush and lay down a wash of deep blue at the top, transitioning into lighter blues towards the horizon.

  2. Paint in horizontal strokes to suggest gentle waves, transitioning from darker shades at the horizon to lighter aqua near the shoreline.

Step 5: Creating the Beach

  1. Sand Base: Use a pale beige mixed with hints of purple to cover the beach area.
  2. Reflections: Add bold strokes of orange and yellow to depict the reflections of the sunset dancing across the wet sand.
  3. Use a palette knife for an expressive texture, capturing the dynamic interplay of color and light.

Step 6: Final Touches

  • Add details to the beach, such as small rock formations, using contrasting darker colors.
  • Inspect the painting and make any adjustments required to balance the composition and enhance color intensity.
