Preparation

Before you begin painting, review the Paint-Your-Own Pack to familiarize yourself with the lines, sketches, and the optional artist grid. This will help you understand the composition and color placements.

Step 1: Sketch the Outline

  1. Using the provided line drawing, sketch the basic outline of the landscape onto your canvas with a light pencil.
  2. If you opt to use the grid, lightly draw the grid on your canvas to assist with accurate proportions and placement.

Step 2: Block in the Sky

  1. Mix a light blue from your color wheel palette for the sky.
  2. Using a large flat brush, apply long, sweeping strokes to block in the sky, blending in subtle hints of purple and white for soft clouds.

Step 3: Paint the Sea

  1. Using a brighter blue, paint the sea with smooth horizontal strokes to suggest calm waters.
  2. Integrate lighter blue and white highlights to create the effect of sunlight reflecting off the water.

Step 4: Create the Hills and Dunes

  1. Mix a deep blue with hints of purple to create the distant hills.
  2. Use a mid-sized brush and layer the colors to add a sense of depth and distance.
  3. Add touches of orange and yellow from the color wheel to depict the sandy dunes, giving them a warm glow.

Step 5: Foreground and Beach Path

  1. For the foreground, use purples and deep blues mixed with hints of orange for shadows and texture.
  2. Use bold strokes to convey the grassy textures and beach paths, focusing on varying the direction to add movement and interest.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

  1. Review your painting and add any necessary highlights or shadows to enhance depth and dimension.
  2. Use a small detail brush for any finer details or adjustments to the landscape features.
