Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Catterline Bay captures the serene beauty of the Scottish coast at sunset. The sky bursts with warm hues of orange, pink, and purple, reflecting on the gentle waves that lap against the shore. The dramatic cliffs are bathed in the fading sunlight, creating a striking contrast against the vibrant blues of the sea and the soft sands of the beach. The use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid color palette bring energy and life to this tranquil scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Brushes of various sizes (round and flat)
Palette
Water or paint thinner (for acrylics or oils, respectively)
Pencil for sketching

Preparation

Review the Source: Open your Paint-Your-Own Pack and examine the source image of Catterline Bay. Note the major color areas and the composition.
Select Your Grid or Line Drawing: Use the provided grid version for precision, or start with the line drawing for a simpler outline.
Sketch the Scene: Lightly sketch the major elements—cliffs, sea, sky, and shoreline—on your canvas using the grid to ensure accuracy.

Painting the Background – Sky and Sea

Sky: Begin by painting the sky, starting at the horizon with light oranges and yellows. As you move upward, blend into pinks and purples. Use broad, expressive strokes to capture the layered clouds.
Sea: Use a mix of blues and purples for the sea. Start with darker tones near the horizon and lighten as you move down, reflecting the colors of the sky.

Painting the Middleground – Cliffs and Sun

Cliffs: Mix greens and browns for the cliffs. Add darker shadows to one side to create depth, paying attention to the light source from the setting sun.
Sun and Reflections: Paint the sun with bright yellow and white. Add its reflection in the water using lighter hues that mirror the sky.

Foreground Details – Shoreline and Waves

Waves: Define the curves of the waves using lighter blues and whites. Use swift, curved brushstrokes to suggest motion.
Shoreline: Incorporate dashes of sandy colors with hints of the sky's reflected light. Add texture with a dry brush for a realistic touch.

Final Touches and Highlights

Add Highlights: Apply white highlights to the wave crests and focal points on the water for a sparkling effect.
Refine Shadows: Deepen shadows on the cliffs and in the water for contrast using dark blue and purple.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer to the included color wheel to match the palette. The vibrant oranges, purples, and blues are essential for capturing the painting's dynamism.

Conclusion

Take a step back to assess your composition and make any necessary adjustments. Enjoy the process of bringing the tranquil beauty of Catterline Bay to life on your canvas!
