The composition is characterized by a sweeping view of the beach, with vivid blues of the ocean meeting the warm hues of the sand and the lively pinks and oranges of the foreground.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the color wheel provided in your pack)
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • Palette knife (optional)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cup of water for cleaning brushes
  • Cloth or paper towels

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Set up your workspace: Ensure your canvas or paper is secured on an easel or flat surface. Have all your materials within reach. Find a well-lit area to work.

Step 2: Using the Grid and Line Drawings

Reference materials: Use the grid and line drawings provided in the pack to layout the basic composition on your canvas. This will help maintain proportions and capture key elements accurately.

  1. Apply the Grid: If using the optional grid, lightly draw it onto your canvas with a pencil. This will guide you in placing the main elements.
  2. Transfer Line Drawing: Use the line drawing as a guide to sketch the main outlines onto your canvas.

Step 3: Blocking in Main Shapes

Start with large shapes: Begin by painting the sky and sea using broad brushstrokes. Mix blues and whites to capture the differing tones, applying more intense blue for the ocean.

  1. Sky: Use varying shades of blue with hints of white to create the wispy clouds. Apply with broad strokes for texture.
  2. Sea: Layer different blues and a touch of green. Use horizontal strokes to suggest motion.

Step 4: Painting the Foreground

Add vibrancy: Mix and apply warm colors like pinks, oranges, and yellows to the foreground, conveying depth and energy.

  1. Sand and Dunes: Employ lighter tones, using a palette knife for a textured effect.
  2. Foremost Colors: Layer vibrant pinks and oranges boldly. Experiment with shapes using a palette knife or large brush for expressive marks.

Step 5: Adding Details and Final Touches

Refine and define: Add the finer details of the beach, sea, and sky, ensuring a dynamic contrast between elements.

  1. Beach Details: Add subtle shadows and highlights to the sand and dunes, enhancing the depth.
  2. Figures and Focal Points: Use a small brush to add simplified figures or focal elements in the distance, adding life to the scene.
  3. Adjust and Balance: Revisit areas needing more definition or color balancing, ensuring the painting feels cohesive.

Step 6: Review and Signature

Stand back and assess your masterpiece. Make any final adjustments needed. Once satisfied, sign your painting in a discreet corner.
