Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Paint brushes (various sizes)
Acrylic or oil paints (per the color palette provided)
Palette and water/medium for mixing
Paint-Your-Own Pack (PDF file)
Line drawings and artist’s grid from the pack

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by using the line drawings from the Paint-Your-Own Pack to map out the composition on your canvas. The optional artist's grid can help you ensure accuracy in proportions and positioning. Transfer the main outlines of the beach, horizon, and sun using the grid as needed to maintain perspective.

Step 1: Background Sky

Mix Colors: Refer to the color wheel for the sky’s orange and peachy tones.
Paint the Sky: Use a large brush to apply broad strokes of orange, blending into a softer peach near the horizon.
Blend: Smooth the transitions between colors with a softer brush for a gradient effect.

Step 2: Sun and Reflection

Paint the Sun: Use white with a hint of yellow to paint the sun's circle, ensuring sharp edges.
Add Reflection: Brush horizontal streaks of the same color onto the water's surface to mimic reflection.
Highlight: Add touches of brighter yellow where the sunlight directly hits the water.

Step 3: Distant Land and Horizon

Mix Darker Tones: Blend deep browns and purples for the distant cliffs and horizon line.
Define the Shape: Use a medium brush to create the land's silhouette against the sky.

Step 4: Sand and Foreground Detail

Create Texture: Mix lighter purples and browns for the sand.
Apply with Care: Use a palette knife for thick, expressive strokes, adding texture to the beach.
Add Shadows: Darken areas with deeper shades, following the natural shadows seen in the source painting.

Step 5: Final Touches

Enhance Contrast: Revisit contrasts between the light and dark areas to enhance depth.
Refinement: Use fine brushes to clean edges and details where needed.
Review: Step back and assess your work, making any adjustments to balance colors and composition.

With your dedication and creativity, you've captured the essence of Balmedie Beach's mesmerizing sunset. Take a moment to appreciate your creation and the serene beauty it portrays.
