Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid will help you outline major elements, ensuring accurate composition. Begin by lightly sketching the key outlines onto your canvas. Use the grid to maintain proportions and align each section precisely.

Initial Sketch

  1. Background Layout: Draw the horizon line about one-third down from the top. Sketch the rough outlines of the cliff, shoreline, and major rock formations.
  2. Foreground Elements: Lightly indicate the curves of the shoreline and the rocky foreground in the lower section of the canvas.

Painting the Sky

  1. Use a flat brush to apply a mix of white and a hint of ultramarine blue for the sky. Apply in broad, horizontal strokes.
  2. Add subtle cloud shapes with more white, using a sweeping, circular motion.

The Sea

  1. Begin with ultramarine blue at the horizon, gradually mixing in cerulean blue and turquoise as you move towards the shoreline.
  2. Blend the colors smoothly to reflect the water’s gentle flow and varying depths.

The Cliffs

  1. Mix emerald green and a touch of cadmium yellow for the grassy areas. Use a flat brush to apply with horizontal strokes, following the natural slope.
  2. For the rocky cliffs, blend burnt sienna with black and white to create a textured, earthy appearance.

Foreground Details

  1. Paint the sandy beach using a light mixture of white and a tiny amount of sienna.
  2. Highlight the rocks with more detailed brushwork using a small round brush. Add hints of green, blue, and sienna to show variations.

Finishing Touches

  • Reflections and Ripples: Use the tip of a round brush to add white ripples and highlights on the water to mimic gentle waves and reflections.
  • Final Details: With the detail brush, accentuate the grassy patches and add any final touches to the cliff textures and rocks.

Once your painting is complete, step back and admire Calgary Bay's serene beauty captured on canvas!
