Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the tranquil yet dramatic beauty of Lunan Bay, captured in this evocative painting. The scene portrays a serene moonlit evening, where the luminous moon casts a gentle glow over the rugged Scottish coastline. Dark, swirling clouds sweep across the night sky, contrasting with the shimmering light on the tranquil sea. The foreground features rolling sand dunes and tufts of grass, their muted greens and earthy browns echoing the natural beauty of the Scottish landscape. The quaint cottages nestled along the hills impart a sense of warmth and habitation. This artwork showcases a harmonious palette of deep blues, soft greens, and gentle earth tones, in a style that beautifully balances realism and impressionism.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

  • Reference the colour wheel and source painting image provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack.
  • Ensure you have the correct materials: paints, brushes of various sizes, and canvas or paper.

Step 2: Sketch the Composition

  • Use the line drawings and optional artists grid to accurately sketch the composition.
  • Start by outlining the key elements: the coastline, sky, cottages, and grassy dunes.

Step 3: Begin with the Sky

Colours: Deep blues, black, and white

  • Apply a base layer of dark blue mixed with black for the night sky.
  • Use lighter strokes of white to create the swirling clouds, maintaining dynamic movement.
  • Add the moon with a soft white, allowing it to subtly illuminate the sky.

Step 4: Paint the Sea

Colours: Dark blue, aqua, and white

  • Use horizontal strokes to depict the calm sea, blending dark blue and aqua.
  • Add white highlights to suggest the moonlight's shimmer on the water surface.

Step 5: Detail the Land and Cottages

Colours: Greens, browns, and grey

  • Mix greens and browns for the sand dunes and grass, using broad strokes for texture.
  • Create the cottages with a mix of greys and browns, adding simple yet distinct features.

Step 6: Add Finishing Touches

  • Revisit the shadows and highlights in the foreground for dimension and depth.
  • Add any final details to the grass and cottages for added realism.
  • Assess the balance of colour and detail across the painting, making adjustments as needed.

Step 7: Final Review

  • Let the painting dry completely before displaying.
  • Take a moment to step back and view your artwork in its entirety, ensuring each element harmonises within the composition.

With each brushstroke, let the spirit of Lunan Bay guide your artistic journey, capturing the serene beauty of a moonlit Scottish coast.
