Painting Guidance

The painting of Sands of Forvie captures the ethereal beauty and serenity of Scotland's coastal landscape. Dominated by soft, sandy tones and vibrant floral accents, the composition reveals a harmonious interplay between nature's tranquility and bursts of vivid color. The sky, imbued with warm purples, gently transitions into soft sands, delicately cradling vibrant flowers in orange and purple hues. This expressive and abstract interpretation invites the viewer to immerse in the peaceful scenery, where the artistic style merges realism with an impressionistic approach.
