The harmonious composition is dominated by dramatic hues of deep purple and blues, contrasted by bold pinks, yellows, and greens, creating an abstract representation that evokes the essence of the seascape.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The Paint-Your-Own Pack includes line drawings and an optional grid to assist with composition accuracy. Place the grid overlay on your canvas if you need additional guidance in maintaining proportions and perspectives.

  1. Sketch the Layout:
    • Start by lightly sketching the main shapes and lines from the line drawing onto your canvas using a pencil.
    • Utilize the grid version to help match the proportions correctly if you wish.
  2. Initial Wash:
    • Apply a thin base layer using the key background color, allowing it to dry completely before proceeding.
    • For the sky, use a mix of yellows to create an airy base.
  3. Underpainting:
    • Block in the large areas of color with broad brushstrokes, focusing on the sky, sea, and sand.
    • Use lighter tones of pink and blue for the sea section, adding variations to capture the shifting light.
  4. Build the Scene:
    • Once the underpainting is dry, start refining the major shapes of the cliffs and foreground beach area with darker purples and blues.
    • Apply additional layers to enhance depth and texture.
  5. Details and Highlights:
    • Add the finer details of the cliffs and rocks using a smaller brush, emphasizing the natural formations.
    • Introduce bright highlights with lighter tones, particularly pink and white, to mimic sunlight reflections on the water and sand.
  6. Final Adjustments:
    • Step back and assess the painting as a whole, making any necessary adjustments to color balance or composition.
    • Use the color wheel to ensure harmony within your palette.
