Let some of the underpainting show through in areas. Add in a touch of Coffee Latte here and there. Paint in the beach following the contours. Using the 3/4″ flat brush double load with Linen and Wicker White. To add the smudge drag a dry brush across the sun very lightly before it is fully dry. You can leave the edges crisp or do as I did and smudge them as if the sun is shimmering in the sky. Paint in the sun with a mix of Wicker White and Moon Yellow. I wanted the sun to be going down on the horizon so it is a half-circle, but you can make it a full circle higher in the sky. You can decide the size of your sun and you can put it higher in the sky if you like.
To get the shape of the sun I used a tin can to trace around. This is a fun option you may wish to try sometime. This is just the underpainting that gives the sand some depth.įor the beach painting on wood I created, I added some sand to the wet paint for added texture. Fill in the beach area following the curve of the beach. Load the 3/4″ flat brush with Burnt Umber. Remember less is more, if you want to add more of the Autumn Leaves color then you can do so later. Depending on how wet your yellows are will determine how it blends in. Add a touch of Autumn Leaves to your brush and streak it into the yellow. Reload and stroke on down to the waterline. To avoid hash marks in the canvas, pull all the way from one side of the canvas to the other in one long stroke. Stroke the colors onto the canvas horizontally.

There is no need to be perfect, this is just approximate for the layout. First, divide your canvas or surface of choice into thirds.
