Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Lochinver Bay in Scotland is beautifully captured in this abstract work of art, characterized by its geometric forms and harmonious arrangement of shapes. The composition is a striking blend of rectangles, circles, and intersecting lines, illustrating a modern interpretation of a serene maritime landscape. The color palette is a soothing combination of soft blues, muted turquoise, beige, and contrasting dark tones, evoking the tranquil beauty of the bay amid a dreamy, abstract interpretation. The painting style elegantly combines elements of abstraction with a gentle nod to Cubism, inviting viewers to engage with the subject in an imaginative and personal manner.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas (size according to preference)
  • Acrylic paints (use provided color wheel for reference)
  • Brushes (varied sizes)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Easel (optional, but recommended)
  • Water container and cloth/rag for cleaning brushes
  • Pencil (for initial drawing)

Preparation

  1. Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure your workspace is well-lit and organized, with all materials at hand.
  2. Study the Provided Images: Examine the source painting image, line drawings, and sketches to familiarize yourself with the composition.
  3. Understand the Grid (if using): If you have opted for the artists grid version, note how it corresponds to your canvas to assist in proportion accuracy.

Initial Sketch

  1. Grid Assistance (Optional): Lightly draw a grid on your canvas that matches the grid on the provided image. This will help maintain composition accuracy.
  2. Outline Key Shapes: Using a pencil, sketch the main geometric forms and lines from the image. Focus on capturing the circles, rectangles, and intersecting lines.

Underpainting

  1. Background Tones: Apply a base layer of soft blues and beige for the background. Use wider brushes for large areas and blend the edges for a soft gradient effect.
  2. Foundation Shapes: Use a mid-tone gray or muted turquoise for the primary rectangular shapes and outlines.

Adding Details

  1. Dark Accents: Mix a darker shade of blue or gray and use it to emphasize the prominent lines and deeper areas of the painting. This will help create depth and contrast.
  2. Highlight Light Areas: Contrast the darks by highlighting lighter areas with a soft cream or off-white hue.
  3. Shapes and Texture: Layer additional shapes, refining the sharp edges with a small flat brush for clarity and precision. Use various brush sizes to add texture.

Final Touches

  1. Sailing Elements: Paint the geometric boat shapes last, using contrasting colors to make sure they stand out prominently against the backdrop.
  2. Refine Details: Observe the image for any minor details or corrections. Use a fine brush for line accuracy and final touches.
  3. Allow to Dry: Let the painting dry completely before moving or framing.

By following these steps, you will create a unique interpretation of "Lochinver Bay," capturing the serene ambiance and abstract elegance of the original artwork. Feel free to incorporate personal touches and adjustments to make the piece truly your own.
