Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Balmedie Beach captures the serene beauty of Scotland’s enchanting coastline. A lone figure stands gazing across the expansive sands and the gentle ebb of the sea, under the dramatic cover of a twilight sky. The artwork is rich in texture and atmosphere, embodying a harmonious blend of realism and impressionism. The color palette is dominated by soft earth tones and deep blues, with subtle highlights capturing the glistening reflection of the setting sun on the waves.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Canvas or painting surface
Brushes of various sizes
Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the included color wheel for the palette)
Palette for mixing colors
Your Paint-Your-Own Pack, including line drawings and grid versions

Step 2: Prepare Your Canvas

Using the grid from your Paint-Your-Own Pack, lightly sketch the outline of the painting onto your canvas. This will help ensure composition accuracy and guide you as you paint.

Step 3: Paint the Sky

Start with the darkest tones at the top of the canvas using deep blues and gradually blend them downward to lighter shades.
Add hints of the setting sun by using lighter blues and yellows near the horizon.

Step 4: Create the Sea

Use the line drawing to ensure accurate placement of the shoreline.
Mix light blues and soft whites to depict the gentle waves and reflections.
Apply these colors horizontally with a medium brush, following the natural flow of the ocean.

Step 5: Capture the Beach

Layer soft earth tones like sand beige and light browns to create the sandy beach.
Use the edge of a flat brush to form the undulating patterns of sand dunes.

Step 6: Add the Figure

Refer to the detailed line drawing to sketch the figure accurately within the landscape.
Use soft whites, beiges, and light browns to paint the dress, ensuring gentle folds and shadows are depicted with delicate brushwork.
Pay attention to the posture and the flow of the hair to capture the impression of wind subtly.

Step 7: Refine and Detail

Use fine brushes to add highlights and shadows to achieve depth and realism, especially in the fabrics and the waves.
Adjust any colors and textures to enhance the overall harmony of the scene.

Step 8: Final Touches

Step back and review your painting. Add any final adjustments or enhancements needed to balance the composition and capture the tranquil essence of Balmedie Beach.

Throughout the process, use your source painting image as a reference. Join areas with color while blending softly to achieve transitions reminiscent of the original artwork.
