Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Elgol Bay, where the serene waters meet the rugged Scottish landscape. The painting captures a minimalist depiction of the horizon, blending soft pastels with deeper hues. The structured geometric foreground contrasts with the gentle, sweeping lines of the distant mountains, offering a harmonious balance between natural beauty and abstract art. The color palette combines soft blues, gentle pinks, and rich navy tones, evoking a sense of calm and introspection.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or high-quality paper
Acrylic or oil paints: blues, pinks, navies, whites
Brushes: flat, round, and detail
Pencil for sketching
Palette for mixing colors
Line drawing and grid from the Paint-Your-Own Pack
Colour wheel provided in the pack

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Begin by lightly sketching the outlines using the line drawing provided. If you wish to use the artist’s grid for composition accuracy, overlay it on your canvas to replicate the correct proportions and alignment. This structure will guide you in placing key elements of the painting.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

Mix a very light blue with white to capture the softness of the sky.
Using a flat brush, cover the upper portion of the canvas, creating a gentle gradient that transitions into soft pinks as you move down the canvas.
Blend the colors smoothly to eliminate harsh lines, creating a seamless gradient from blue to pink.

Step 3: Creating the Distant Mountains

Mix a muted blue-grey tone for the distant hills.
Use the line drawing guide to block in the shapes of the mountains, starting with the furthest ones in lighter shades, gradually darkening as they come forward.
Keep edges soft and slightly blurred to suggest distance and atmosphere.

Step 4: Painting the Water

Create a reflection of the sky on the water using a light blue mixed with hints of pink, matching the sky gradient above.
Use horizontal strokes to mimic the gentle ripples of the water.
Add depth with slightly darker blue tones at the forefront.

Step 5: Geometric Foreground

Utilize the darker navy blues for the geometric shapes in the foreground.
Carefully paint each section, using painter's tape for sharp edges if needed.
Mix variations of blue and grey to add subtle differences in each block.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Step back and review your work for balance and color consistency.
Add minor highlights or adjustments in tone to enhance depth and interest.
