  • Paint-Your-Own Pack materials: source image, line drawings, sketches, grid version, color wheel

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and grid are essential tools for maintaining composition accuracy. Begin by lightly sketching the grid onto your canvas using a pencil. Then, use the line drawing to map out the major elements of the painting, ensuring that proportions and placements align with the grid.

Painting Steps

  1. Background and Sky
    • Begin by mixing the deep blue and lighter hues as shown on the color wheel for the sky.
    • Use broad horizontal strokes to fill in the sky from top to bottom, creating a seamless gradient.
  2. Sea and Tidal Streams
    • Follow the color wheel to mix the aqua tones for the water.
    • Using a medium-sized brush, paint the sea using horizontal strokes to mimic the calm water surface.
    • Add the coral and light green colors to depict the tidal movements, using sweeping, curvilinear brushstrokes.
  3. Sand and Foreground
    • Mix sandy beige tones according to the color palette provided.
    • Apply these tones gently with a large brush to indicate the beach, ensuring a smooth transition between the sand and tidal streams.
  4. Details and Refinements
    • Switch to a smaller brush for detail work.
    • Add finer details like the vegetation using dark greens and browns, referencing the sketches and source image.
    • Enhance the lines around the water's edge and refine any rough transitions with deliberate, expressive strokes.
  5. Final Touches
    • Step back and assess your painting for any necessary adjustments.
    • Add highlights or deepen shadows where needed to increase depth and contrast.

This guide will help you bring the vivid and serene landscape of Nairn Beach to life on your canvas. Enjoy the painting process, and remember to embrace the expressive and abstract elements of the original artwork.
