Painting Process

1. Sky and Clouds

  • Base Layer: Mix a light blue with Titanium White and Ultramarine Blue for the sky. Apply it using a large flat brush.
  • Clouds: Use a mix of Titanium White with a hint of Cobalt Blue and Alizarin Crimson for the soft clouds. Apply with a round brush, blending smoothly into the sky.

2. Distant Hills

  • Color Mix: Combine Ultramarine Blue with a touch of Alizarin Crimson to create a soft purple for the hills.
  • Application: Using a medium flat brush, paint the distant hills with fluid, horizontal strokes, maintaining a smooth transition into the sky.

3. Beach and Water

  • Sand: Mix a light beige using Titanium White, Burnt Sienna, and Cadmium Yellow Medium. Apply with a large flat brush.
  • Water: Blend Cobalt Blue with a touch of white for the water. Paint with horizontal strokes to capture the reflections and movement.

4. Foreground and Rocks

  • Foreland: Mix vibrant greens using Cadmium Yellow Medium and Ultramarine Blue. Apply with a small, round brush for texture.
  • Rocks: Add deeper purples and blues to paint the rocky outcrops. Use a small fan brush for detail and texture.

5. Final Touches

  • Details: Add highlights and shadows with a combination of Titanium White and darker blues or browns.
  • Adjustments: Step back from the painting to assess and adjust values if needed. Ensure harmony and balance throughout the composition.

Remember to let each layer dry before adding new elements. Use your source image and sketches to refine details and enhance accuracy. Enjoy the process and immerse yourself in recreating the serene beauty of Durness Beach!
