Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brush set (including fine detail brushes)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water cup and cloth for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Before you begin, use the provided line drawings to sketch the composition onto your canvas lightly. If you're using the artists grid, align it with your canvas to maintain accurate proportions and perspective.

1. The Sky and Clouds

  1. Begin by painting the sky. Use a mix of light blue and white. Start with darker tones at the top, gradually lightening towards the horizon.
  2. Add the clouds with soft white, using a dry brush technique to create the fluffy appearance. Keep the edges soft to simulate the natural cloud shapes.

2. The Sea

  1. Mix different shades of blue to capture the sea's depth. Apply to the canvas using long, horizontal strokes.
  2. Add waves by using a lighter blue on top of the darker hues. Use a fine brush for details.

3. Hills and Fields

  1. Use various greens to depict the landscape. Start with darker greens along the base, softening as you move upwards.
  2. Incorporate yellow and brown to highlight sunlit areas and add texture.

4. Buildings and Cottages

  1. Paint the cottages using a mix of white and light pink. Use a fine brush for details like windows and roofs.
  2. Add shadows with gray to enhance the 3D effect.

5. Foreground Flora

  1. Begin with the largest leaves using rich greens. Add highlights with yellow and dark shadows with blue or black.
  2. Use a fine brush to paint individual flowers. Refer to the provided color wheel to select vibrant reds, whites, and oranges.

6. Final Details and Touch-ups

  1. Step back and assess your painting. Add any necessary contrasts or highlights to create depth.
  2. Use a small brush to add any additional details like small birds, boats, or textural elements that enhance the scene.

With these steps, immerse yourself in the process and bring the enchanting Coldingham Bay to life on your canvas, capturing the serene beauty of Scotland's coastline.
