Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant abstraction of Pennan, Scotland, where contemporary art meets a coastal village's charm. This painting captures the essence of Pennan with bold geometric shapes and a dynamic color palette of vivid reds, serene blues, and stark blacks and whites. The flat blocks of color and minimalist style evoke a modernist sensibility, playing with the contrast between land, sea, and sky. The powerful red dominates the right, suggesting energy and passion, while the blue along the bottom conveys calm and tranquility.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Paints: Red, blue, white, black, and a neutral grey
  • Brushes: Flat and round brushes in various sizes
  • Palette for mixing
  • Source image and grid or line drawing
  • Pencil or chalk for sketching

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Start by using the provided line drawing or grid version of the painting. This will help you achieve composition accuracy and proper placement of elements.

  1. Lightly sketch the outline: Use a pencil or chalk to sketch the basic shapes of the buildings, sea, and sky based on the line drawing. Use the grid to ensure accurate proportions.

Painting Instructions

  1. Background Preparation:
    • Begin with the sky area, applying a thin layer of white paint across the top half of the canvas.
    • Let it dry slightly before continuing to prevent unwanted mixing.
  2. Building the Composition:
    • Use a flat brush to apply black paint for the silhouette of the buildings.
    • Ensure clean, straight edges to maintain the abstract style.
  3. Adding the Red Element:
    • Mix a vivid red and use a larger flat brush to fill in the bold red block on the right.
    • Let it dry completely before proceeding to other sections.
  4. Bringing in the Blues:
    • Mix a serene blue and use a smaller brush to paint the sea and the boat.
    • Add gentle strokes to suggest texture and direction of the water.
  5. Details and Finishing Touches:
    • Mix neutral grey tones to add subtle details between the main color blocks.
    • Refine any edges and clean up areas for a crisp finish.

Final Steps

  • Step back frequently to view the painting as a whole, ensuring balance and cohesion.
  • Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying.

Enjoy bringing Pennan to life with your unique artistic touch, capturing the spirit and beauty of this Scottish village.
