Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or canvas board
Acrylic or oil paints
Paintbrushes (flat and round)
Palette
Water (for acrylics) or paint thinner (for oils)
Rags or paper towels
Line drawing, sketch, and grid versions from the Paint-Your-Own Pack

Preparing Your Canvas

Set up your workspace with adequate lighting and all materials within reach.
Place your blank canvas on an easel or flat surface.
Transfer the line drawing onto your canvas using tracing paper, or draw it freehand using the grid version for accuracy. The grid helps you proportionally map out the elements, providing a structured compositional layout.

Blocking in the Background

Sky: Use a large flat brush to apply a wash of deep blue to the top third of the canvas for the sky.
Blend in lighter shades of blue and subtle touches of orange at the horizon to mimic the original painting's atmospheric transition.
Sun and Clouds: Introduce light greys and whites using a small, round brush to define the clouds. The sun can be highlighted with white surrounded by subtle yellows to make it pop.

Painting the Water

Start with a base tone of soft blue for the water using smooth horizontal strokes.
Add the reflection of the sun with strokes of white, gradually blending with the water's blue for a seamless look.
Introduce darker blue layers around the edges to add depth and contrast.

Details of the Rocks and Cliffs

Rocks: Mix greys and browns for the rocky landscape. Use a medium-sized brush to sketch the shapes.
Utilize a dry brush technique for texture, capturing the rugged surface of the cliffs and rocks.
Add highlights with lighter shades to show light hitting the edges, and darken the shadows with deeper hues.

Final Touches

Adjust any elements for balance and composition, referring to the source painting image.
Add any small details, like additional highlights for the rocks or subtle ripples on the water's surface.
Step back to view the painting from a distance, ensuring the overall balance and harmony.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer to the included colour wheel to maintain colour accuracy. Match your mixed paints to the most used colours highlighted on the wheel to ensure your painting stays true to the original inspiration.
