Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of St Cyrus Beach captures the essence of the Scottish coastline, showcasing a dramatic interplay between the sky, sea, and sandy shore. The stormy sky, with its swirling shades of navy and cerulean, dominates the canvas, lending a sense of movement and energy. Below, the tranquil beach stretches wide, with hints of earthy browns and subtle greens complementing the creamy sands. The sea appears calm yet reflective, with its deep blues harmonizing with the sky above. This piece exemplifies an expressive, impressionistic style, conveying the natural beauty and dynamism of the coastal landscape.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional grid will help you accurately place elements of the composition. Start by lightly sketching the outlines using the grid technique to maintain proportion, focusing on major visual elements such as the horizon, prominent sky features, and the shoreline. Ensure everything is correctly positioned before you start painting.

Painting the Sky

Base Layer: Mix a range of blues—using cerulean, navy, and white— to create a gradient sky. Use a large flat brush to cover the top half of your canvas with wide, sweeping strokes to mimic the dynamic skies.
Clouds: Add layers of light gray and white using a palette knife to create the textured clouds. Focus on capturing the swirling motion with expressive, bold strokes.
Detailing: Refine the edges of the clouds with a smaller brush, blending where necessary to achieve a seamless transition from light to dark areas.

Creating the Sea

Base Layer: Use a mixture of deeper blues and greens to paint the sea. Keep the strokes horizontal to reflect the tranquil nature of the water.
Highlights: Add lighter blues and whites to indicate the reflective surface of the water. Use gentle strokes and allow colors to blend subtly.

Painting the Beach

Base Layer: Start with a light cream color for the sands, using a large brush to cover the area beneath the horizon.
Textures: Introduce earthy browns and hints of green; apply them using a palette knife to create the illusion of sand texture.
Refinements: Blend colors softly where needed and add small amounts of orange and red to suggest contrasting elements or objects.

Finishing Touches

Review the painting for any areas needing refinement or additional detail. Use the color wheel to ensure color accuracy and harmony throughout. Clean your brushes, step back, and view your work from a distance, making any final adjustments as necessary.

Note: Allow each layer to dry before proceeding to avoid muddy colors.
