Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Lunan Bay in Scotland is a breathtaking amalgamation of expansive skies, rolling landscape, and serene seascapes. The painting captures the bay's natural beauty with sweeping strokes and a harmonious blend of colors. The sky is a dramatic mix of stormy grays and deep blues, contrasting beautifully with the vibrant greens and earthy tones of the hills. The ocean forms serene azure bands against the shore. A small cottage stands quietly amidst the lush greenery, adding a peaceful human element to this natural scene. The artistic style is expressionistic, capturing both the essence and the atmosphere of Lunan Bay.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes (assorted sizes)
  • Palette
  • Water (for acrylic) or oil medium (for oil paints)
  • Cloth or paper towel

Using the Pack

The pack includes line drawings and an artist's grid. Use these to accurately sketch the outlines on your canvas. The grid will help maintain proportions and placement of key elements.

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Outlines

  1. Using the line drawing, lightly sketch the horizon, hills, and outlines of the cottages on your canvas. The grid can be a helpful tool to ensure all elements are placed correctly.
  2. Ensure your lines are accurate but light enough to paint over easily.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Mix various shades of gray and blue as shown on your color palette.
  2. Apply these colors in broad, expressive strokes to create the cloudy sky.
  3. Blend the colors while wet to capture the dynamic sky, using a larger brush for smooth transitions.

Step 3: Create the Sea

  1. Use lighter blues for the sea, adding depth by mixing in whites as needed.
  2. Paint horizontal strokes to illustrate the calm waves, allowing for smooth blending.

Step 4: Paint the Hills and Grass

  1. Mix different shades of green, from dark forest greens to lighter, vibrant greens.
  2. Apply these across the landscape, using varied brush sizes for texture.
  3. Add highlights and shadows to give the rolling hills dimension and depth.

Step 5: Add the Cottage

  1. Use neutral tones of whites and dark grays, following the line drawing for accurate placement.
  2. Apply careful brushwork for the structure, ensuring it stands out yet blends naturally with the environment.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Refine details such as the fence lines in the foreground and the pathway leading to the cottage.
  2. Enhance contrast and add any final highlights or shadows as needed.
  3. Allow the painting to dry completely before handling.

Enjoy the process of creating your own interpretation of Lunan Bay, and relish the peace and beauty captured in your artwork.
