Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Scourie Bay in Scotland is captured in this painting with a blend of abstract and surreal elements that evoke the serene yet dramatic beauty of the landscape. Soft hues of blue dominate the canvas, accented by vibrant greens and yellows, which blend seamlessly to illustrate the ethereal quality of the scene. The play of light on water, the distant hills, and the misty ambiance are depicted with an expressive use of color and texture, inviting viewers to sink into the tranquil yet dynamic spirit of the bay.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic paints (based on the included color wheel)
  • Brushes in various sizes
  • Palette knife
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloths for cleaning brushes
  • Optional: grid transfer tool

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings serve as a map to guide your painting process. If you choose the artist’s grid, this will ensure your composition’s accuracy:

  1. Print or transfer the line drawing onto your canvas. Utilize the light pencil marks to avoid them showing through the paint.
  2. If using the grid method, overlay the grid on your canvas. This will help in maintaining proportions and spatial relationships when transferring the outline.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Wash: Begin by applying a thin, even wash of light blue to cover the sky and bay areas. Use a large brush for broad strokes and smooth gradients.
  2. Establish the Horizon: With a slightly darker shade of blue mixed with a hint of green, paint the horizon line that separates the bay from the distant hills.
  3. Add Depth to the Bay: Use a mixture of blues and greens to build up the water's texture and depth. Experiment with brush sizes and directions to create the impression of water currents and reflections.
  4. Detail the Hills: For the distant hills, mix darker blues and greens. To capture the lushness, add subtle hints of yellow and a trace of white to highlight mist and light play.
  5. Enhance the Foreground: In the foreground, use a palette knife or a broad brush to apply bold strokes of green and yellow. This brings vibrant energy and texture to the bay’s edge.
  6. Balance and Finishing Touches: Random dashes of muted orange and earthy tones can be sparingly added to areas where light hits rocky surfaces or vegetation. Use the included color wheel to ensure color harmony.
  7. Final Adjustments: Step back from the painting to assess contrast and balance. Add any necessary highlights or shadows to enhance depth and vibrancy.
