Painting Instructions

  1. Background Sky
    • Begin by painting the sky. Mix Sky Blue with a touch of White to achieve the desired shade.
    • Use a flat brush to apply broad, even strokes across the top two-thirds of the canvas.
    • Incorporate wisps of White to form light clouds, using a round brush for softer edges.
  2. Horizon and Hills
    • In the background, mix a muted green with a hint of Dark Brown to create distant hills.
    • Apply this mixture with a round brush, ensuring a soft blend into the sky.
  3. Ocean Waves
    • Create the sea using a gradient from Sea Blue at the horizon to Turquoise nearer the shore.
    • Use sweeping horizontal strokes with a large flat brush.
    • Add White highlights to represent cresting waves and surf.
  4. Beach Sand
    • Mix Sand Yellow with White for the beach area.
    • Apply this mixture to the lower section with a flat brush, leaving space for rocks and details.
    • Blend slightly into the turquoise for a natural transition.
  5. Rock Formations
    • Use a mix of Dark Brown and Green to paint the foreground rocks.
    • With a detail brush, add shadows and highlights using lighter and darker variations of the base color.
    • Sporadically dot small patches of Orange for lichen on the rocks.
  6. Final Touches
    • Revisit areas where White is needed to enhance highlights, particularly in the clouds and waves.
    • Adjust any colors and blends to ensure the painting matches your desired intensity and contrast.
    • Stand back and admire your recreation of Scarista Beach!

By following these steps and utilizing the included line drawings and grid, you can accurately recreate the tranquil beauty of Scarista Beach. Enjoy the process and embrace your artistic journey!
