Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Dornoch Firth in Scotland captures an enchanting coastal scene where rolling sands meet the vibrant blues of the sea and sky. Along the shore, striking calla lilies stretch toward the heavens, their graceful forms contrasted with the sweeping curves of the landscape. The color palette is a harmonious blend of cool blues, deep greens, and warm yellows, which breathe life into the scene. The artistic style is reminiscent of modern realism, lending the painting a dynamic yet tranquil presence.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints matching the color palette provided
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • A canvas of your choice
  • Pencil for sketching
  • The provided line drawing and grid (optional)

Preparation

Using the Line Drawing and Grid: Begin by transferring the line drawing onto your canvas. You can use the optional grid for more precise placement. This will help maintain the proportions and composition of the original painting.

Painting Instructions

  1. Sky and Sea:
    • Start by painting the sky using layers of light and medium blues, blending to create depth.
    • For the sea, use deeper blues, reflecting the sky above. Include subtle horizontal strokes to suggest waves.
  2. Distant Hills and Island:
    • Apply darker blues and greens for the hills. Use softer edges to create a sense of distance.
    • The distant island should be painted in muted shades of blue, slightly blurring the details for a realistic perspective.
  3. Shoreline and Sand Dunes:
    • Use warm shades of yellows and ochres to depict the sand dunes, incorporating gentle curves as seen in the painting.
    • Add highlights where the sun might naturally hit the sand using lighter yellows.
  4. Calla Lilies:
    • Focus on the lilies, using whites tinged with yellows for the petals to capture the light.
    • The stems can be painted with varying greens to provide a sense of depth and movement.
  5. Foreground Leaves and Shadows:
    • Use a combination of deep blues and greens to create the twisting leaves at the bottom of the painting.
    • Pay attention to the shadows within the leaves, enhancing them with darker tones.

Final Touches

Review each part of the painting, making adjustments where necessary to ensure coherence in light and shadow. Use the color wheel to ensure the balance and harmony of colors. Allow the painting to dry thoroughly, and consider adding a varnish for protection if desired.
