Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This captivating painting of Balmedie Beach beautifully encapsulates the tranquil yet vibrant essence of a coastal sunset. The sky, a symphony of radiant oranges, yellows, and soft purples, contrasts against the bold blues and grays of distant clouds. The sun's reflection dances upon the tide-swept sands, creating a mirrored effect of warm tones and shimmering highlights. The painting employs expressive brushwork, which adds dynamic energy to the scene, capturing both the serenity and the constant movement of the seascape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas (pre-stretched or canvas board)
Acrylic paints in the following colors: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, and Payne’s Grey
A variety of brushes: flat, round, and fan
Palette
Pencil and eraser
Optional: Easel, apron, water jar, and paper towels

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid are designed to help you accurately place key elements like the horizon line, rocks, and cloud formations. Use the grid method to ensure that the proportions and perspectives align with the original painting.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

Begin by lightly sketching the horizon line about one-third from the bottom of the canvas.
Using the grid as a guide, sketch the outlines of major elements such as the sun, waves, and rocks.
Pay attention to the sweeping cloud formations, sketching them in broad strokes to guide later painting.

Step 2: Block in the Sky

Mix a light orange using Titanium White and Cadmium Yellow, adding a touch of Alizarin Crimson. Apply this to the area around the sun.
Use a flat brush to blend toward the edges with a mix of light purple, blending Ultramarine Blue and Alizarin Crimson with white.
Add darker tones to the clouds with a mix of Payne’s Grey and Ultramarine Blue, defining their shapes further.

Step 3: Paint the Water

Start by painting the base of the water with a mix of Ultramarine Blue and Payne’s Grey for deep areas.
Highlight the waves and sun reflection using Titanium White, using a fan brush for realistic texture.
Add reflections of the sun in the wet sand with a blend of orange and yellow tones.

Step 4: Add Details to the Sand

Use a mix of Burnt Sienna and Cadmium Yellow to fill in the warm sandy tones.
Blend in highlights using light strokes of white to mimic the reflection of the sky and sun.
Paint any visible rocks or debris with darker mixes for contrast and realism.

Step 5: Refine and Add Finishing Touches

Review the painting from a distance to check for balance and coherence.
Refine cloud edges and add small highlights or shadows to create depth.
Use a small round brush to add fine details, such as water ripples and highlights on the rocks.
Let the painting dry thoroughly before displaying.

By following these steps and utilizing the provided PDFs, you'll be able to recreate the breathtaking beauty of Balmedie Beach, capturing the richness of color and dynamic texture that characterize this stunning work of art.
