Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Nairn Beach in Scotland comes to life in this stunning painting, capturing the serene beauty of a coastal sunset. The vibrant orange and pink hues in the sky contrast with the calming blues of the sea and its reflections, creating a harmonious balance of warm and cool tones. The expansive sky, dotted with wisps of clouds, serves as a dramatic backdrop, while the gentle waves ripple softly along the shoreline. This painting employs a vibrant color palette, with most-used shades including azure blue, soft pink, sunset orange, and deep navy, rendered in an expressive, semi-abstract style.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • Palette
  • Line drawing/sketch from the Paint-Your-Own Pack
  • Optional: Artist's grid

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The line drawing provides a simplified outline of the painting to guide placement of key elements. Use it to lightly sketch the main lines on your canvas. If using the grid, align it with your canvas and sketch the composition square by square for accuracy.

1. Preparing Your Canvas

  1. Tape the line drawing to your canvas and lightly transfer the outline using transfer paper.
  2. If using a grid, draw a corresponding grid on your canvas with light pencil marks.

2. Painting the Sky

  1. Background: Mix a light azure blue and paint the upper part of the sky using a wide brush. Gradually blend in lighter shades towards the horizon for a gradient effect.
  2. Clouds: Use soft pink and orange to add the clouds. Apply these in sweeping, fluid brushstrokes to mimic natural cloud formations.

3. Painting the Sun

  1. Mix white with a hint of yellow for the sun. Use a round brush to paint a bright, circular sun at the horizon.
  2. Add subtle highlights around the sun with very diluted shades of orange and pink, blending softly into the surrounding sky.

4. Painting the Sea

  1. Start with deep navy for the horizon line and blend into lighter blues as you move downward.
  2. Use fine brushstrokes to depict gentle waves and reflections from the sun. Incorporate orange and pink hues at angles corresponding to the sky.

5. Painting the Foreground

  1. For the shore, mix darker blues and purples with touches of warm pink and orange to reflect the sky.
  2. Apply these colors with textured brushstrokes to suggest the wet, reflective sand.

6. Finishing Touches

  • Review the painting for areas needing more contrast or detail.
  • Add subtle highlights or darker shadows to enhance depth and vibrancy.

Once complete, allow your painting to dry completely. Celebrate your recreation of this beautiful seaside vista, capturing the unique essence of Nairn Beach.
