Using Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and artist's grid serve as a guide for composition accuracy. Use them to lightly trace the main elements onto your canvas with a pencil, ensuring correct proportions and placement before beginning with paint.

Painting the Sky

  1. Mix Titanium White with Ultramarine Blue for the sky. Add varying amounts of white to create different shades of blue for depth and dimension.
  2. Use a flat brush to apply the sky, starting from the top and blending lighter shades as you move downward.
  3. For clouds, mix Titanium White with a hint of Cerulean Blue. Use a round brush to create soft, billowing shapes, gently blending the edges into the sky.

Creating the Sea

  1. Begin with Cerulean Blue for the ocean's base. Add Viridian Green and a touch of Sap Green near the shoreline to reflect the shallow waters.
  2. Use horizontal brushstrokes to mimic the water's calm surface, blending various shades for a natural look.
  3. Highlight areas of light reflection with a mixture of Titanium White and Cerulean Blue.

Painting the Cliffs and Rocks

  1. Mix Burnt Sienna with Titanium White and a touch of Ultramarine Blue for the cliffs.
  2. Use a flat brush to outline the rough, jagged shapes, adding depth with darker hues.
  3. For the rocks, use darker mixtures with Burnt Sienna and Cobalt Blue, applying texture with a detail brush.

Adding the Cottage and Hills

  1. Mix Titanium White with a hint of Burnt Sienna for the cottage walls. Use a small brush for clean lines and details.
  2. For the roof, mix Cadmium Red with a small amount of Ultramarine Blue for a muted tone.
  3. Paint the hills with a blend of Sap Green and Cadmium Yellow, using varied shades for depth.

Wildflowers in the Foreground

  1. Begin with Cadmium Yellow and Cadmium Red for the flowers, using a detail brush for individual blossoms.
  2. Add highlights with Titanium White to give the flowers dimension.
  3. Mix Sap Green with Viridian Green for the leaves and grass, applying quick, varied strokes for a natural effect.
