Step 1: Begin by setting up your workspace with good lighting. Have your Paint-Your-Own Pack materials and paints ready.
Step 2: If you are using the grid, lightly draw it onto your canvas using a pencil. This will help you accurately place key elements of the painting.
Step 3: Start by painting the sky, using a mix of light yellows transitioning into blues. Use a flat brush for broad strokes, and blend the colors softly at the edges.
Step 4: Block in the ocean area with varying shades of blue and green. Use bold, swirling strokes to suggest movement in the water.
Step 5: Paint the cliffs and hills with layers of green and brown hues. Pay attention to the lighting and shadow areas, using darker greens and browns to create depth.
Step 6: Use a smaller brush to add details to the cliff edges and rocky outcrops. Incorporate touches of lighter colors to highlight these areas.
Step 7: With a fine brush, add texture to the landscape, suggesting grass and rock textures. Use quick, varied strokes for an impressionistic effect.
Step 8: Return to the ocean to refine the waves and highlights. Add touches of white and light blue to emphasize the sea foam.
Step 9: Evaluate your painting, making any necessary adjustments. Enhance areas that need more contrast or detail.
Step 10: Once satisfied, allow your painting to dry completely before displaying or framing it.
