Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Included

  • Source painting image
  • Line drawings
  • Sketches
  • Optional artist's grid
  • Colour wheel with palette

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace: Ensure you have good lighting and all materials ready.
  2. Review the source image and sketches: Familiarize yourself with the composition and elements.
  3. Use the line drawing or grid: Decide if you will use the line drawing or the artist's grid for accuracy.

Painting Process

1. Sky and Clouds

  1. Background Base: Mix a light shade of blue. Use the larger brush to create an even wash across the upper part of your canvas for the sky.
  2. Cloud Formation: Add white to suggest clouds, using a dabbing motion for softness. Refer to the sketches for cloud placement.

2. Distant Hills

  1. Base Layer: Mix a deep, cool blue for the distant hills. Apply with horizontal strokes to create the horizon.
  2. Define the Shape: Introduce darker blues and purples to add depth and contour to the hills.

3. Cliff and Midground

  1. Cliff Colors: Use warm ochres and browns for the cliff face. Refer to the color wheel for exact shades.
  2. Midground Land: Mix greens with hints of brown for the vegetation and land formations.

4. Beach and Foreground

  1. Sand Textures: Apply lighter ochres blended with whites for the sandy beach, using sweeping horizontal strokes.
  2. Vegetation Highlights: Use sharper darker greens and browns, referencing the sketches for guidance on texture and detail.

5. Final Touches

  1. Details and Refinement: Use a fine brush to enhance any essential lines or small details, ensuring all elements are well-defined.
  2. Adjustments: Step back and assess your work. Make any necessary color or shape corrections for balance and harmony.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

These tools are provided to help achieve a balanced composition and accurate alignment. The line drawing offers guidance on major forms, while the grid ensures proportional accuracy. Align your paper or canvas with the grid provided in the PDF, matching key landmarks in the composition with reference points on the grid.

Enjoy the process, and let the vibrant beauty of St Cyrus Beach unfold on your canvas!
