Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting of East Lothian, Scotland, captures a breathtaking coastal landscape. The vibrant blues of the sea blend seamlessly with the sandy hues of the sweeping beach, creating a serene and expansive view. In the foreground, vivid lupines stand boldly, their rich purples and blues offset by the lush green grass that rolls over gentle hills. The sky, an open expanse of soft blues and whites, enhances the sense of openness and tranquility. The painting is executed with dynamic brushwork and a vibrant, impressionistic palette, inviting the viewer to feel the textures and atmosphere of the Scottish coast.

Structured Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or art paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (see color wheel for palette)
  • Brushes (flat and round)
  • Palette knife
  • Paint-Your-Own Pack (PDF file with line drawings, grid, and color wheel)

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Using the Grid: Begin by lightly sketching the grid lines on your canvas, if you're using the grid version. This will help ensure proportionality and accuracy when transferring the composition. Use the line drawings to plot key landscape elements: the coastline, sea, and plants.

Step 2: Begin with the Sky and Sea

  1. Background wash: Start by applying a light wash of blues and whites to create the sky, blending smoothly to suggest clouds.
  2. Horizon line: Establish the horizon with a soft, deep blue line, marking the transition to the sea.
  3. Sea details: Use varied blues and a touch of green to paint the sea. Apply lighter hues near the shore to create the illusion of shallow waters.

Step 3: Paint the Beach

  1. Base layer: Apply warm, sandy tones for the beach. Use long, horizontal strokes to capture the texture.
  2. Shadows and highlights: Introduce darker shades for shadows and lighter tones where the sun hits, creating depth and dimension.

Step 4: Add the Distant Hills

  1. Gradient layers: Use greens, browns, and softer blues to build the distant hills. Layer these colors gradually to convey depth.
  2. Texture: Employ light, textured brushstrokes to suggest grassy surfaces and elevation changes.

Step 5: Create the Foreground with Lupines

  1. Base colors: Lay down rich purples and blues for the lupines using a palette knife for texture.
  2. Details: Add lighter tones to individual flower clusters for highlights, making them pop against the greenery.
  3. Grass and foliage: Use various greens with quick, assertive strokes to paint the grass, blending warm and cool tones for variety.

Step 6: Refine and Add Final Details

  1. Enrich colors: Reinforce key colors in the sea and flowers, adjusting intensity to ensure they stand out.
  2. Small details: Add any additional details, such as shadow enhancements or texture in the lupines and grass, to bring the scene to life.

As you paint, refer closely to the color wheel included in your pack to select the correct hues and adjust tones as needed. Enjoy the process of bringing this vibrant Scottish landscape to life on your canvas!
