Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Nestled on the rugged cliffs of Shetland, this painting captures the serene beauty of Scotland's northernmost isles. The composition is dominated by a vivid blue sky that meets the deep, inky sea at the horizon. Perched atop the cliffs is a solitary white building, a testament to the resilience of human structures against nature's elements. The surrounding landscape is a patchwork quilt of lush greens and earthy tones, contrasted with the rocky, textured shoreline below. The painting's style is modern and abstract, characterized by bold, broad brushstrokes and striking contrasts. The color palette is a harmonious blend of blues, whites, greens, and earthy tones, creating a tranquil yet dynamic visual experience.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or thick painting paper
Acrylic paints (refer to the color wheel for the palette)
Brushes (various sizes, including a large flat brush and smaller detail brushes)
Palette knife
Water and a palette for mixing colors
Line drawings, sketches, and artist’s grid (from the PDF pack)

Preparation

Set up your workspace with all your materials within easy reach.
Review the line drawings and sketches provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack to familiarize yourself with the composition.

Using the Grid and Line Drawings

The grid version assists in accurately transferring the composition onto your canvas. Begin by lightly sketching the grid onto your canvas with a pencil. Use the line drawings to map out key elements, such as the horizon line and the building.

Painting the Sky

Mix a vibrant blue color using the palette provided. Use a large flat brush to cover the top sections of the canvas with broad, horizontal strokes.
Start from the top of the canvas and work your way downward, gradually lightening the color near the horizon with a touch of white to create a gradient effect.

Adding the Sea

Mix a deeper blue shade for the sea. Apply this color beneath the horizon line.
Use a palette knife to create texture and depth, mimicking the ocean waves.

Painting the Cliffs

Mix greens and earth tones as indicated on the color wheel.
Use bold, angular brushstrokes to depict the rugged edges of the cliffs. Incorporate darker shades for shadowed areas.
Add highlights with lighter greens and yellows to make the grasses appear sunlit.

Detailing the Building

Use a small detail brush to paint the white building. Mix a slightly off-white color to add dimension and avoid pure white.
Add shadows to one side with a gray or muted blue, referring to the original painting for guidance.

Finishing Touches

Step back and assess your painting. Add any necessary touch-ups, ensuring contrasts are strong and lines are clean.
Allow the painting to dry completely before removing the grid lines, if drawn.

Congratulations on completing your painting! Enjoy the vibrant scenery of Shetland through your own artistic lens.
