Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Welcome to the captivating world of Lunan Bay, beautifully captured in this vibrant and expressive painting. With its sweeping shoreline and rich coastal flora, the painting bursts to life through bold strokes and a vivid color palette. The striking oranges and greens in the foreground contrast with the serene blues of the sea and sky, invoking a sense of tranquility and energy. The artist’s style combines loose, expressive brushwork with a harmonious blend of colors, capturing both detail and emotion.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

  • Canvas or painting surface (16" x 20" recommended)
  • Acrylic paints: ultramarine blue, cerulean blue, cadmium orange, lemon yellow, sap green, white, and a touch of black
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brush
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and a cloth for cleaning brushes

Step 2: Preparing Your Canvas

Start by lightly sketching the main outline using the provided line drawing. This will serve as a guide for positioning key elements like the bay, mountains, and foreground vegetation. Use the optional artist’s grid if you wish to ensure precise placement and proportion.

Step 3: Painting the Sky and Ocean

  1. Mix ultramarine and cerulean blue with white to create a soft sky blue shade. Using a flat brush, paint the sky, blending in more white towards the horizon to indicate depth.
  2. For the ocean, deepen the blue with more cerulean and a hint of black for the distant water. Apply long, horizontal strokes to suggest calm waves.

Step 4: Adding the Beach and Distant Land

  1. Mix white with a touch of yellow for the sandy beach. Gradually add brushstrokes that curve gently along the shore’s contour.
  2. Paint the distant hills by blending sap green with a hint of black, using horizontal strokes to convey the layering of the landscape.

Step 5: Foreground Details

  1. Create a vibrant orange using cadmium orange with a touch of white. Use a medium round brush to block in the colorful floral area.
  2. Mix sap green with lemon yellow for the grasses, using quick, upward strokes to depict movement and growth.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Add bright highlights to the flowers and grasses with pure dabs of orange, yellow, and white. Let your brush move freely to mimic the natural spontaneity of the wildflowers.
  2. Refine the shoreline with a detail brush, outlining waves lightly with white where they meet the shore, creating a delicate foam texture.

By following these structured steps, along with utilizing your Paint-Your-Own Pack resources, you’ll recreate this stunning view of Lunan Bay, immersing yourself in the art and beauty of this dynamic landscape.
