Painting Guide

Background Sky

Mix a gradient from blue to pink for the sky. Start with darker blue at the top, transitioning to lighter blues, then pinks as you move downwards.
Apply the paint using broad, smooth strokes to mimic the soft blending of sky colors.
Use the palette knife to add texture, capturing the fluffy, sweeping clouds bathed in sunset hues.

Sunset and Sun

Create a bright yellow mixture for the sun and its surrounding glow. Place it slightly above the horizon line.
Blend outward with oranges and light yellows to suggest the sun’s radiant energy spreading across the sky.

Ocean Waves

For the ocean, mix varied shades of blue, adding white for the highlights.
Use long horizontal strokes to mimic the gentle rolling waves.
Add white highlights using a small brush for foam and the wave crests.

Rocks and Cliffs

Mix black with a touch of green for the dark, dramatic cliffs to the left. Apply with a flat brush, maintaining sharp, jagged edges.
For rocks closer to the shore, use darker browns and blacks with sharp, defined shapes.

Reflections and Beach

Create a sandy color with muted browns and pinks for the beach area.
Depict the reflection of the sunset across the wet sand using yellows, oranges, and whites, blending softly with the sand color using a palette knife.

Final Touches

Evaluate the painting’s balance and harmony. Adjust hues or enhance contrast where needed.
Add finer details with a small brush to emphasize texture and depth, particularly in the waves and reflections.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The line drawing offers a simplified version of the painting to guide the placement of major elements. The grid can be used to maintain proper perspective and proportions, especially helpful in aligning the horizon, waves, and cliff edges. Align your painting with these guides to ensure composition accuracy, enhancing the final result's realism and coherence.

With patience and creativity, recreate the mesmerizing beauty of Coldingham Bay, capturing the scene's vibrant energy and soothing tranquility. Enjoy the process and let each brushstroke bring you closer to this stunning coastal escape.
