Lunan Bay, in this expressive painting, captures the serene yet dynamic character of Scotland's coastline. The artwork evokes the expansive sky meeting the gentle, rolling waves of the sea.

The artist’s style showcases fluid brushstrokes that give movement, and an atmospheric quality, effectively conveying the dramatic essence of coastal Scotland.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or high-quality watercolor paper
Acrylic or oil paints in colors: ultramarine blue, cerulean blue, titanium white, cadmium orange, sap green, and burnt umber
Brushes: medium flat, large flat, and detail round
Palette knife (optional)
Palettes for mixing colors
Water cup (for acrylics) or turpentine (for oils)
Rag or paper towels

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid version are designed to help you accurately map out the composition. Begin by lightly sketching the outlines onto your canvas, aligning key features with the grid lines for precision. This method will ensure your paint application remains true to the original composition.

Painting Steps

Background Sky and Sea
- Using the large flat brush, mix ultramarine blue with a touch of white for the sky. Apply broad, fluid strokes from the top, gradually adding more white as you paint lower to create a gradient effect.
- For the sea, blend cerulean blue with white. Use horizontal strokes to mimic the gentle motion of waves, allowing some of the sky color to subtly blend into the horizon line.
Midground Landforms
- Utilize sap green mixed with a hint of burnt umber to lightly sketch the distant hills on either side. Use your medium flat brush for more controlled strokes, emphasizing land contours.
- Add layers of color, starting darker and working lighter, to create depth and a sense of distance.
Foreground Beach and Waves
- For the sandy beach, blend a small amount of burnt umber with white. Apply a thin layer using horizontal strokes to simulate sand texture.
- Using your detail round brush, paint the wave crests with more white, gently blending it into the blue with slight curves to define the foam.
Vibrant Accents
- Introduce cadmium orange for vibrant beach highlights. Use this sparingly to draw the eye and add dynamism.
- Blend some orange with blue and green to create subtle, textured reflections in the water and on the sand.
Final Touches and Texture
- Decisionally add any additional lines or details with your palette knife or brush to bring texture to the foreground rocks and water.
- Adjust the tones and highlights across the composition to ensure balance and harmony before allowing the painting to dry.
