Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Aberdeenshire captures the serene beauty of the Scottish coastline, where the vast, rolling dunes meet the rhythmic waves of the sea. The composition is dominated by vibrant pansies in shades of purple, blue, and yellow, set against a backdrop of undulating sand dunes and a softly colored sky. The brushwork is fluid and expressive, blending impressionistic elements with a refined attention to detail. The colour palette, predominantly cool with splashes of warmth, mirrors the natural beauty and tranquility of the scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Palette
  • Water jar or cleaner for brushes
  • Palette knife (optional)
  • Pencil for sketching

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and optional grid will help you accurately place the key elements of the painting. Begin by selecting either the plain line drawing or the gridded version based on your comfort level. Use a pencil to lightly sketch the outline on your canvas or paper, ensuring the main features like the flowers, dunes, and sea are proportionally accurate.

Layer 1: Background

  1. Sky: Start by painting the sky. Use a mix of light blue and soft pink to create a gradient. Begin at the top with blue, blending downward into pink towards the horizon.
  2. Sea: Below the sky, use deeper blues and hints of green to depict the sea. Apply horizontal strokes to mimic the gentle waves.

Layer 2: Sand Dunes

  1. Mix varied shades of beige and pale yellow to represent the dunes. Use soft, sweeping strokes to highlight their rolling shapes. Add hints of green to suggest tufts of grass.

Layer 3: Detailed Elements

  1. Flowers: Focus on the pansies in the foreground. Use vibrant purples, blues, and yellows. Begin with the base colors, adding darker tones for shadows and lighter ones for highlights.
  2. Leaves and Stems: Use greens with hints of brown and yellow. Paint the leaves with broad strokes and the stems using finer brushes for detail.

Layer 4: Final Touches

  1. Add subtle shadows to the dunes and flowers to enhance depth.
  2. Refine the waves in the sea with white and light blue highlights to emphasize movement.
  3. Step back, review your work, and make any necessary adjustments to achieve balance.

Finishing Your Painting

Allow your painting to dry thoroughly. Once dry, consider adding a protective varnish to seal and enhance the colors. Display your artwork proudly, capturing the serene essence of Aberdeenshire.
