Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine standing on the rugged cliffs of Coldingham Bay, Scotland, as the sun sets in a blaze of vibrant colors. The painting captures the serene yet dynamic interplay of nature's elements: a glowing sun descending on the horizon, casting a rich spectrum of oranges, pinks, and purples onto the rippling ocean waves. The lush, dark cliffs frame the scene, while the sky transitions through an atmospheric dance of warm and cool hues, reflecting the bay's tranquil, timeless beauty. This artwork celebrates the expressive style of vivid brush strokes and bold contrasts that invite you to feel the peaceful energy of this enchanting landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints matching the color palette.
  • Brushes: flat, filbert, and round brushes in various sizes.
  • Palette knife (optional for texture).
  • Canvas or canvas board.
  • Pencil or charcoal for sketching.
  • Paint-Your-Own Pack: source image, line drawings, grid.

1. Prepare Your Canvas

Using the Grid: Place the grid version of the image onto your canvas to assist in accurate placement and proportion. Lightly sketch the main outlines using a pencil or charcoal.

2. Sketch the Composition

Refer to the Line Drawings provided to outline key elements: the horizon line, contours of the cliffs, and positions of key wave patterns. Keep your lines light to blend easily with your painting.

3. Paint the Sky

  1. Start with the upper sky using broad strokes of soft orange and warm pink. Blend gently.
  2. Introduce light yellow and peach near the horizon to capture the sun’s glow.
  3. Use a finer brush to add varying shades of pink and purple for cloud details, blending smoothly for a natural look.

4. Add the Sun

Paint the sun using a bright white with a hint of yellow. Employ a circular motion to blend slightly into the surrounding sky, creating a luminous effect.

5. Detail the Hills and Cliffs

  1. Use dark shades of deep purple and forest green for the cliffs, keeping strokes bold to define the rugged textures.
  2. Add lighter green and brown highlights where the sun hits.

6. Paint the Ocean Waves

  1. For the water, begin with the base layer of deep blue and purple.
  2. Use the palette knife to apply textured strokes of white and softly blended light purple for wave crests and reflections.
  3. Blend in layers of pink and orange near the shore, reflecting the sunset colors.

7. Final Touches

  • Review your painting for balance, adjusting the contrast between light and dark areas as needed.
  • Add fine details to the waves and foreground rocks with a smaller brush.

8. Finish and Seal

Once satisfied, let your painting dry completely before applying a protective varnish.

Enjoy the serene beauty of Coldingham Bay captured forever in your artwork!
