Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Balmedie Beach captures a serene moment on a windswept shoreline. A lone figure dressed in flowing white strolls along the expansive, sunlit sands. The sky is a soft blue, stretching endlessly into the horizon, where the gentle waves of the sea kiss the shore. The artwork employs a calm and muted color palette, with emphasis on light blues, sandy tans, and whites, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and reflection. The painting embodies a realistic yet romantic style, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow on the fabric and the serene setting.

Painting Process

Background First: Sky and Sea
- Mix various shades of blue, referencing the color wheel.
- Using a larger brush, paint the sky from top to horizon, achieving a smooth gradient from soft blue to nearly white at the horizon.
- For the sea, introduce darker blues and subtle hints of green. Highlight the wave crests with white and lighter blue.
Foreground: Sands
- With a blend of tan, light brown, and white, paint the sandy beach. Ensure smooth transitions by blending the colors softly.
- Add subtle shadows using a mix of grey and the sand color to create depth and texture.
Focus on the Figure
- Clothing: Use whites with touches of grey or beige for shadows, emphasizing the flow and movement of fabric. Capture light effects by subtly highlighting edges with brighter whites.
- Skin and Hair: Mix skin tones and apply carefully to face and hands. Use darker browns and blacks with light touches for hair, adding texture and shine.
Final Touches
- Refinements: Add any minor details such as distant people or textures in the sand using smaller brushes.
- Review contrasts and highlights, ensuring the painting has dynamic depth and balance.
Finishing Up
- Allow the painting to dry completely.
- Consider applying a protective varnish if desired.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings provide a clear guide for the composition, helping you place each element accurately. The optional grid ensures your proportions are true to the original. If using the grid, lightly sketch it on your canvas as an initial step, and refer to it as you paint. This will assist in aligning major elements like the horizon, figure, and shoreline accurately.

This structured approach will aid in achieving a beautiful and faithful recreation of the Balmedie Beach painting, providing both a rewarding experience and a piece of art to enjoy.
