Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid are designed to help you capture the composition accurately. Begin by transferring the grid onto your canvas using a light pencil. Use the line drawing as a reference to sketch the basic shapes and structures, ensuring correct proportions and placement.

1. Background and Sky

Start with the sky using a blend of cobalt blue and white. Apply the colors with a flat brush, creating a smooth gradient from the top to the horizon.
Blend in cerulean blue towards the horizon for a natural transition.

2. The Sea

Paint the sea with a mixture of ultramarine blue and white. Use a flat brush and long strokes to suggest the movement of water.
Add a hint of viridian green near the shore to reflect the presence of vegetation under the water.

3. Distant Shore and Sand

For the distant shore, use a mix of yellow ochre and white to create sandy tones.
Blend in subtle touches of burnt sienna for depth and variation.

4. Village Houses

Using the line drawing, block out the houses with white and light grey, leaving space for the roofs.
For the roofs, use a combination of burnt sienna and black to achieve a variety of tones.

5. Foreground and Land

Apply a mix of viridian green and yellow ochre for the grassy areas, using a palette knife to create texture and layers.
Add depth with touches of burnt sienna and ultramarine blue in shadowed regions.

6. Details and Finishing Touches

Use a detail brush to refine edges and add highlights with white to mimic sunlight on buildings and water.
Introduce subtle abstract details using a palette knife for geometric patterns, reflecting the painting’s modern style.

7. Final Review

Step back and review your painting. Ensure your lines are clean and colors well-blended. Add any additional highlights or shadows to enhance depth and interest.

The essence of the painting lies in its abstract interpretation and bold color contrasts. Embrace the creative process and add personal touches to make the scene uniquely yours.
