Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Nairn Beach in Scotland captivates with its serene and minimalist beauty, showcasing a harmonious blend of soft pastel tones and clean, fluid lines. The painting perfectly captures the essence of a tranquil seaside scene, with delicate beige sands gently transitioning into lush green dunes, framed against a distant, hazy silhouette of rolling hills. The gentle arcs of windswept grasses in the foreground introduce movement, evoking the refreshing coastal breeze. Its subtle, harmonious colour palette of creamy sands and muted greens creates an atmosphere of calm and simplicity reminiscent of a peaceful day by the shore.

Painting Guide

1. Sky and Hills Background

  1. Sky: Start by painting the sky. Use a soft blend of light cream and pale yellow tones. Employ a flat brush for broad, even strokes.
  2. Hills: Introduce soft green and subtle greys to outline the distant hills. Keep the edges soft for a hazy effect.

2. Sea and Shoreline

  1. For the sea, mix a slightly darker tone of grey-green. Apply horizontally to convey the calm water surface.
  2. Detail the shoreline with a narrow band of off-white to emphasize the separation between sea and sand.

3. Sand Dunes and Foreground

  1. Utilize a blend of beige and yellow ochre for the sand dunes. Layer these colours to create depth and subtle textures.
  2. Use fluid, sweeping motions to hint at the gentle contours of the dunes.

4. Grasses and Final Details

  1. Switch to a liner brush for the delicate grasses in the foreground. Mix light greens and warm yellows for variety.
  2. Create slender, overlapping lines to replicate natural movement and density of the grasses.
  3. Review the painting for any adjustments in tone or detail, ensuring cohesion and balance.

5. Finishing Touches

  • Allow the painting to dry completely before applying any finishing varnish or protective coating.

By following these steps, and using the references provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you'll recreate the serene beauty of Nairn Beach with confidence and precision. Enjoy the process of bringing this tranquil coastal scene to life!
