Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Step into the mystical beauty of Orkney, Scotland, with this evocative painting. A lone figure stands on rugged cliffs, gazing into the turbulent sea under a dramatic, cloud-laden sky. The painting captures the raw power of nature, juxtaposing the serene human presence against the dynamic, ever-changing landscape. The colour palette is dominated by muted blues, greys, and greens, with subtle earth tones highlighting the cliffs. This blend of realism and romanticism invites the viewer to experience the sheer majesty and solitude of the scene.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or thick paper
Set of acrylic or oil paints matching the palette
Brushes: flat, round, and detail types
Pencil for sketching
Palette for mixing colors
Cup of water (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)
Rag or paper towels

Step 1: Initial Sketch

Using the provided line drawing, lightly sketch the basic outlines on your canvas. Pay careful attention to the placement of the figure, cliffs, and horizon. If using the artist's grid, align your sketch with the grid to ensure accurate proportions.

Step 2: Background Sky

Mix a base grey from blue, white, and a touch of black.
Using a flat brush, apply this mixture in broad, sweeping strokes to create the cloudy sky.
Blend lighter greys and whites to add depth and movement to the clouds.

Step 3: Sea and Horizon

Mix a deep blue-green for the ocean, lightening towards the horizon.
Capture the movement of the waves by using varied strokes. Highlight the crests with lighter tones.
Add distant landforms with darker tones to suggest depth.

Step 4: Cliffs

Using earth tones, begin painting the cliffs with layers of browns, grays, and patches of dark green.
Add shadows and highlights to emphasize the craggy texture.
Pay attention to the direction of light to maintain realism.

Step 5: The Figure

Block in the figure’s silhouette with a muted dress color, using a fine brush.
Add shadows to the cloth for dimension, highlighting areas where light naturally falls.
Paint the figure’s hair with gentle strokes, keeping tones subtle to blend with the setting.

Step 6: Final Touches

Step back and assess your painting. Adjust colors and add details to any areas that seem flat or lack depth.
Use fine brushes to add final highlights and small details like foam on the waves or texture on the clothing.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer to the included colour wheel to maintain palette consistency. Mix shades carefully and test small amounts before applying to your canvas to achieve desired tones and contrasts.

Enjoy recreating the captivating spirit of Orkney with each brushstroke, channeling both precision and creativity through this structured guide.
