Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Calgary Bay captures the serene beauty of Scotland’s rugged coastline. Bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun, the scene is alive with vibrant colors, from the fiery oranges and rosy pinks of the sky to the deep blues and aquamarine tones of the water. The cliffs on either side frame the view, their textured surfaces catching the golden light. Gentle waves lap against the rocky shore, reflecting the sky’s hues in a dance of light and shadow. This artwork blends realism with an expressive, impressionistic style, inviting viewers into a tranquil yet dynamic landscape.

Painting Guide for Calgary Bay

Materials You'll Need:

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic or oil paints (refer to provided color palette)
  • Brushes of various sizes (round, flat, detail brushes)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water or medium for paint thinning (if using acrylics)
  • Rag or paper towel for cleaning brushes

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

  1. Set up your canvas on an easel or flat surface.
  2. Organize your paints and brushes within easy reach.
  3. Have your Paint-Your-Own Pack open, with the line drawing and grid reference accessible.

Step 2: Sketching the Composition

Utilize the line drawings and artists' grid from the pack to accurately sketch the basic outline of the painting onto your canvas. This will serve as your roadmap.

  1. Begin by marking key points using the grid technique to ensure correct proportions and placement.
  2. Lightly sketch the horizon line, cliffs, waterlines, and major wave forms using a pencil or light-color paint.

Step 3: Painting the Sky

  1. Mix the sky colors starting with light pinks and oranges. Use your palette to create gradient transitions.
  2. Apply these colors with a broad brush, using horizontal strokes to suggest movement.
  3. Blend into softer blues at the top to create depth.
  4. Paint the sun as a bright, radiant spot, leaving white or light yellow space for highlights.

Step 4: Creating the Cliffs

  1. Mix warm earth tones for the cliffs, combining browns, reds, and ochres.
  2. Use thicker paint and a medium-sized brush to add texture, emphasizing the rock surfaces with directional strokes.
  3. Highlight areas struck by sunlight with lighter shades.

Step 5: Painting the Water

  1. Use the color palette to create a variety of blues and greens for the sea.
  2. Starting near the horizon, use horizontal strokes to lay down deeper blues.
  3. Add lighter turquoise and aqua shades closer to the foreground, blending as needed.
  4. Paint reflections of the sky in the water using the same colors applied earlier in the sky.

Step 6: Adding the Final Details

  1. With a fine brush, add details to the waves. Use whites and lighter colors to create highlights and foam.
  2. Add dark accents for rocks and shadows to give depth.
  3. Review the painting, refining edges and enhancing contrast as necessary.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

  1. Step back to assess your work from a distance, making any adjustments for balance and color harmony.
  2. Once satisfied, allow the painting to dry thoroughly before displaying.
