  • Brushes: Flat and round brushes of various sizes.
  • Canvas or painting surface.
  • Palette for mixing colors.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings help you map the main elements of the painting. Use the grid to ensure accurate placement and proportion. Align your canvas with the grid, transferring major outlines as a reference.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Begin with a light pencil sketch. Use the line drawings to outline the sea, cliffs, and shoreline.
  2. Refer to the grid to adjust positions for accuracy, ensuring all key elements are proportionate.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Mix Azure Blue with Titanium White for the sky’s base color.
  2. Apply with a large flat brush, using loose strokes to mimic clouds.
  3. Add depth by blending in small amounts of Ultramarine to the upper areas.

Step 3: Create the Sea

  1. Mix Azure Blue with a touch of Ultramarine for the sea color.
  2. Use horizontal strokes to depict the waves, leaving gaps for the white foam.
  3. Highlight the waves by adding Titanium White to the edges where water meets sand.

Step 4: Paint the Cliffs

  1. Mix Sap Green with Burnt Umber for the dark cliff areas.
  2. Apply bold, diagonal strokes to capture the rock textures.
  3. For the grassy top, mix more Sap Green with a hint of Yellow Ochre.

Step 5: Add Details to the Shore

  1. Use Yellow Ochre and Titanium White for the sandy beach.
  2. Add texture by lightly dragging a dry brush across the surface.
  3. Introduce Cadmium Red in small, broken patches to suggest warmer tones where the sun hits.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

  1. Enhance the painting with finer details, using a small round brush for the distant rocks and sea spray.
  2. Adjust highlights and shadows to increase depth and contrast.
