Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparation

Set up your workspace with all materials at hand, ensuring good lighting.
Refer to the provided line drawing and place it under your canvas if using a lightbox, or lightly sketch the outlines directly onto the canvas with a pencil.
Use the grid version if you prefer a more precise composition. This will help position key elements accurately.

Background and Sky

Mix a blend of deep blues and soft greys for the dramatic sky. Use broad brushstrokes to apply this color, starting from the top of the canvas and working downward.
Incorporate lighter hues to represent clouds, blending softly to create a natural look. Refer to the source painting to mimic the cloud forms and areas of light.
Add depth by incorporating darker greys and blacks in the upper part of the sky to reflect the painting’s mood.

Sea and Distant Landscape

Shift to a bright blue mixed with hints of grey and white for the sea. Apply this color horizontally to capture the sea's vastness and movement.
For the distant hills, use dark blues and muted earthy tones. Paint these in horizontal strokes to create perspective and depth, ensuring they remain subtle and blurred to suggest distance.

Foreground and Middle Ground

Use earthy green and brown tones with hints of black for the rugged coastline. Employ thicker brushstrokes here to convey texture.
Highlight key areas with vibrant orange accents, referring to the painting for placement. These pops of color should guide the viewer's eye through the landscape.
Add more defined forms and structures in the rocks by using a darker palette, emphasizing shadows and contrasts.

Finishing Touches

Go over the entire painting to adjust contrasts and ensure harmony within the color palette.
Allow the painting to dry completely, then step back and admire your work.

Using the Paint-Your-Own Pack

The line drawing can guide your initial sketch on the canvas, helping to maintain proportionality. Use the optional grid if you need extra help with accuracy, particularly in placing horizon lines and major landscape elements. The color wheel provided offers a ready palette, ensuring your colors match those in the original painting as closely as possible.
