Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Caithness captures a moment of serene beauty along Scotland's rugged coastline. A solitary figure stands on a cliff, gazing out at the vast expanse of the ocean. The cliffs rise majestically, their surfaces textured with layers of mineral tones that contrast strikingly with the deep blue of the sea. The sky is a pale blue, dotted with wispy clouds, and the vibrant greens of the grass add warmth to the scene. The woman's dress, flowing and green, mirrors the movement of the waves, tying the composition together into a harmonious blend of nature and human presence.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Paint-Your-Own Pack (PDF with source painting image, line drawings, sketches, artist grid)
  • Paint brushes (small, medium, large)
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Palette and palette knife
  • Canvas or canvas paper
  • Water cup (if using acrylics)
  • Paper towels or cloth

Prepare Your Workspace

  1. Set up your canvas on an easel in a well-lit area.
  2. Lay out your paints and brushes, keeping your colour wheel handy for reference.

Using Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and grid versions are designed to assist with accuracy in composition. Use the grid to replicate the layout on your canvas by ensuring the positioning and proportions match the source painting.

Painting Steps

1. Background

  1. Sky: Mix a light blue for the sky. Use a medium brush to apply broad, horizontal strokes, leaving spaces for cloud placements.
  2. Sea: Transition to a deeper blue as you paint the sea. Add hints of white to create the illusion of waves and texture.

2. Cliffs

  1. Use a darker palette of greys and browns for the cliffs. Focus on capturing the rugged texture and layers.
  2. Utilize the line drawing to help outline the cliff edges accurately.
  3. Use a palette knife to add depth and texture to the cliff faces.

3. Foreground and Figure

  1. Grass: Blend various shades of green to create the rolling grass. Begin with lighter greens and layer with darker tones for depth.
  2. Figure: With a smaller brush, paint the figure. Start with the outline using the included line drawing as a guide.
  3. Dress: Match the dress to the green shades of the grass, ensuring natural flow and movement.

4. Details and Finishing Touches

  1. Add highlights to the sea and dress using lighter shades or white to simulate sunlight.
  2. Refine any areas that need additional detail, like the edges of the cliffs or the dress folds.
  3. Step back and view your painting from a distance to ensure balance and cohesion.
