Using Your Paint-Your-Own Pack

Begin by reviewing the line drawings and sketches included in your pack. If you have the grid version, use it to sketch the basic outlines onto your canvas for more accurate composition. The grid will help ensure proportionality and structure, guiding you in placing key elements.

1. Painting the Sky

  1. Base Layer: Use the wide flat brush to apply a light blue base across the upper portion of the canvas for the sky.
  2. Add White: While the blue is still wet, blend in white using horizontal strokes to create soft clouds.
  3. Create Depth: Add deeper blue near the horizon to contrast with the clouds, using the medium round brush.

2. Forming the Sea and Distant Hills

  1. Sea Base: Use the medium round brush to paint the sea with a combination of blue and white, adding hints of green to suggest distant waters.
  2. Define Hills: Add strokes of green and dark blue to shape the distant hills, ensuring they remain soft and blended into the background.

3. Capturing the Beach

  1. Base Yellow: Using the wide brush, apply a bright yellow along the foreground to represent the sandy beach.
  2. Add Texture: Mix in strokes of white and cream to create variations, mimicking sunlight reflections.
  3. Depth and Shadows: Use the small detail brush to add small touches of black or dark colors for shadow details on the sand.

4. Adding Final Details

  1. Refine Edges: Use finer brushes to clean up the edges and define any specific areas that need crispness, like the waves meeting the shore.
  2. Enhance Colors: Adjust and enhance colors across the painting for balance and vibrancy as needed.

5. Finishing Touches

  • Step back and view the entire painting to ensure composition is balanced and colors are harmonious.
  • Add any additional highlights or accents to enhance depth and contrast.

Allow your painting to dry completely before framing or displaying. Enjoy your masterpiece, and feel the serene ambiance of Durness Beach every time you view it!
