Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic paints in the colors provided in your color wheel
  • Brushes: flat, round, and fan
  • Palette knife
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and a cloth for cleaning brushes

Preparation

  1. Setting Up: Ensure your workspace is clean and well-lit. Have your Paint-Your-Own Pack ready, including the line drawings, sketches, and grid versions.
  2. Understanding the Layout: Look at the source painting image to understand the overall composition. Use the grid version to help maintain proportions and placement of key elements.

Underpainting and Sketching

  2. Basic Shapes: Focus on the placement of the hills, clouds, water, and foreground.

Building the Scene

    • Add areas of light to convey depth and movement, referring to the source painting.
  2. The Hills:
    • Mix earthy browns and muted oranges for the hills. Use a palette knife for texture, and apply with bold strokes.
    • Incorporate shadows and highlights for depth.
  3. Water and Beach:
    • Layer various blues and greens to capture the turquoise beauty of the water.
    • Use a fan brush to blend colors smoothly, ensuring transitions between the water’s edge and the beach.

Adding Details

  1. Foreground Textures:
    • Apply bold, contrasting colors such as bright oranges and blues to the foreground using a palette knife.
    • Focus on creating dynamic textures and movement.
  2. Refined Details:
    • With smaller brushes, add finer details like stones and reflections in the water.

Final Touches
