Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Our painting captures the rugged beauty of Sandwood Bay, showcasing the dramatic interaction between land, sea, and sky. The foreground features rocky textures and golden sandy stretches, leading the eye towards the rhythmic waves crashing along the shore. In the distance, looming cliffs under a brooding, cloud-laden sky add depth and atmosphere. This dynamic scene is brought to life with a moody color palette dominated by deep blues, vibrant greens, and subtle touches of sandy yellow, creating an evocative and atmospheric seascape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or watercolor paper
Acrylic or oil paints (as per your pack's recommendation)
Brushes: flat, round, and detail
Palette
Water jar (for acrylic paint) or medium (for oil paint)
Rag or paper towels

Using the Line Drawings and Artists Grid

Your pack includes line drawings and an optional grid to assist with accuracy. Use the grid to transfer the composition onto your canvas by drawing a light grid with a pencil. The grid helps in judging the size and placement of each element in the painting.

Step 1: Sketch the Outline

Use the line drawing to transfer the key outlines to your canvas. Focus on the horizon line, the outline of the coastline, major rocks, and the cloud structures.
Refer to the grid for precise alignment if needed.

Step 2: Block in Base Colors

Sky: Use a mix of blues and purples for the base of the stormy clouds. Let areas of light peek through where the sun breaks the clouds.
Sea and Waves: Paint the ocean with deep blues and greens. Add white for the waves and foam, using horizontal brushstrokes for a natural flow.
Foreground Rocks and Sand: Apply earthy tones with hints of dark brown and warm yellows. Create variation by using lighter strokes for sunlit areas.

Step 3: Add Details

Clouds: Use a dry brush technique to blend the cloud layers. Add shades of gray and white to build depth and drama.
Cliffs and Land: Mix greens with some blue undertones to paint the distant cliffs. Use light or dark versions to indicate highlights and shadows.
Detail the Rocks: Use smaller, detailed strokes with dark and light colors to give texture to the rocks in the foreground.

Step 4: Refine and Complete

Enhance Highlights and Shadows: Use the color wheel to adjust highlights with whites and shadows with contrasting tones (such as dark blues or purples).
Final Touches: Add any final details like sharper edges or small reflections to bring the scene to life.
Ensure the transitions between elements (sky, land, sea) are smooth and cohesive.

Step 5: Review and Varnish

Let your painting dry completely. Evaluate the balance and correct any areas if needed.
If using oil paints, consider varnishing after the painting has fully dried to ensure longevity.

Allow yourself to express personal creativity while following these steps. Enjoy the process of bringing Sandwood Bay to life on your canvas!
