Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Nairn Beach in Scotland captures the serene beauty of a sunset over the coastline. The artwork showcases a harmonious blend of warm and cool tones, with the setting sun casting a golden hue across the sky and its reflection dancing on the water. The soft purples and blues of the sea complement the warm oranges and yellows, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. Silhouettes of distant hills and figures add depth and a sense of scale, while the gentle waves provide a dynamic focal point, illustrating the perfect balance between tranquility and motion. The style is impressionistic with a focus on light and color.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Included

  • Source Painting Image
  • Line Drawings
  • Sketches
  • Artists Grid Versions
  • Colour Wheel with Palette

Step 1: Setting Up

  1. Prepare your workspace with all necessary materials from the Paint-Your-Own Pack.
  2. Use the artists grid to divide your canvas, helping to maintain composition accuracy. Align this with the grid provided in the pack.
  3. Have the colour wheel ready for reference to ensure accurate color mixing.

Step 2: Sketching the Composition

  1. Start with the line drawings to sketch the horizon line and main elements such as the beach, hills, and sun on your canvas, using light pencil marks.
  2. Focus on the placement and proportion of elements according to the source image and grid.

Step 3: Painting the Sky

  1. Use the colour palette to mix a range of warm yellows and pinks for the sky.
  2. Start from the sun and work outward, blending into purples and light blues as you move across the canvas.
  3. Utilize broad brush strokes for a smooth transition of colors.

Step 4: Creating the Water and Reflections

  1. Mix blues and purples for the water, with lighter hues where the sun reflects.
  2. Paint the reflections using horizontal strokes to mimic water movement.
  3. Add dashes of warm colors for the sun's reflection, blending softly into the surrounding water.

Step 5: Defining the Beach and Figures

  1. Use darker blues and browns to define the wet sand, incorporating reflections and shadows.
  2. Add silhouettes of figures and hills using dark tones, maintaining contrast with the brighter elements of the painting.
  3. Ensure figures are proportionate and add depth to the scene.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Review the entire painting, ensuring smooth transitions between colors, harmonious composition, and that all elements are cohesive.
  2. Make any necessary adjustments, particularly around the edges where elements meet.
  3. Allow the painting to dry completely.

Throughout the process, refer back to the source image and colour wheel to remain consistent with the original piece. Enjoy bringing the tranquil beauty of Nairn Beach to life in your own painting!
