Guide to Using Your Paint-Your-Own Pack

Your pack includes a source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and an optional artist's grid. Use these tools to guide the composition and structure of your painting.

Line Drawings: These provide a simplified outline. Use them to sketch the basic shapes onto your canvas.
Artist’s Grid: Apply the grid to break down the image into manageable sections, helping maintain proportions and accuracy.

Painting Process

Preparation:
- Prepare your workspace with all necessary materials.
- Lightly sketch the basic structure using the line drawing as a guide.
- Use the artist's grid to ensure correct placement of elements.
Background Sky:
- Start by applying a base layer of light blue and gray tones to capture the cloudy sky.
- Use broad strokes to create a sense of movement in the clouds.
- Add lighter tones to mimic the subtle luminosity breaking through the clouds.
Mountains:
- Layer various shades of blue and gray to build depth and dimension in the mountain range.
- Focus on using angular brushstrokes to detail the rugged, towering peaks.
- Add highlights and shadow to accentuate the mountain’s form and texture.
Water:
- Paint the water's surface using a mix of blues and greens, incorporating soft, horizontal strokes to suggest movement.
- Include reflective elements by subtly mirroring the sky and mountains.
- Accent with white to detail the crests of small waves.
Foreground Rocks:
- Use a palette of earthy browns and blacks to block in the rocky foreground.
- Utilize texture by applying thicker paint and varied brush techniques to mimic the ruggedness of the rocks.
- Add hints of orange to infuse warmth and contrast.
Finishing Touches:
- Step back and assess the overall composition.
- Make adjustments to balance colors and refine details where necessary.
- Let the painting dry completely before displaying.

As you engage with each step, remember to embrace the spontaneous and dynamic nature of the impressionistic style. Above all, enjoy the journey of recreating the magnificent Elgol Bay!
