Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine standing at the serene Nairn Beach in Scotland, where the sky transforms into a vivid spectacle of warm golden hues as the sun slowly descends towards the horizon. The gentle waves kiss the sandy shore, reflecting the sun’s brilliance in a dazzling display of light. A lone figure in a flowing dress stands gazing at this natural wonder, their silhouette delicately framed by the rich array of colors. In this painting, the interplay of light and shadow captures the tranquil yet captivating essence of a sunset by the sea, merging realistic details with a touch of impressionism. The color palette, dominated by warm yellows, soft oranges, and subtle browns, creates a harmonious scene that feels both inviting and majestic.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The provided line drawing and grid version will help you accurately place key elements of the composition. Begin by either sketching the scene lightly onto your canvas using the grid to maintain proportions or use the line drawing to guide your pencil sketch.

Painting Steps

Prepare Your Palette
- Refer to the included color wheel to mix your base colors: golden yellows and muted browns for the sky, ocean, and sand. Prepare lighter and darker shades for highlights and shadows.
Paint the Sky and Sun
- Using a flat brush, begin with the sky. Mix Yellow Ochre and Titanium White for the base color, adding touches of Cadmium Yellow and Alizarin Crimson for depth.
- Paint the sun with a bright, almost pure white, using Cadmium Yellow around it to create a glowing effect.
Create the Sea
- Switch to a filbert brush to work on the ocean. Use Ultramarine Blue mixed with a hint of Yellow Ochre for the shadows, and enhance the wave highlights with Titanium White.
- Add reflections of the sun on the water with horizontal strokes of white and diluted yellow.
Details on the Shore
- Using a round brush, paint the sandy beach with Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre, leaving spaces for shadows.
- Add details to the rocks, using darker shades for shadow and lighter tones for the highlights. Use subtle white reflections on wet sand.
Paint the Figure
- Use a detail brush for the figure. Start with a base of Burnt Sienna for the skin tones.
- Layer the dress with soft yellows and whites, adding flow and movement to the fabric.
- Ensure that the figure’s shadow and reflection on the wet sand are darker versions of the surrounding colors.
Add Final Touches
- Refine the edges of the rocks and figure with a small detail brush for crispness.
- Check the entire composition for balance and harmony in color, adjusting as necessary to capture the luminous quality of the scene.

By following these steps and utilizing the provided tools, you'll recreate the breathtaking beauty of Nairn Beach, capturing its serene and golden essence on your canvas.
