Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Balmedie Beach, where the serene coastal landscape is captured with a warm and vibrant palette. The scene radiates with the glow of a setting sun casting reflections upon the gentle waves and wet sands. The sky is an exquisite blend of pastel hues, harmoniously shifting from soft blues and pinks to shades of amber and gold, epitomizing the gentle transition from day to night. The beach itself is alive with an array of colors reflecting off the gently lapping waves. The artwork’s impressionistic style emphasizes broad, expressive brushstrokes that amplify the scene's dynamism and emotion.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or art paper
Acrylic or oil paints
Brushes of various sizes
A palette for mixing colors
Your Paint-Your-Own Pack materials (line drawings, sketches, artist grid)
Colour wheel provided in the pack

Preparation

Select Your Support: Use a canvas or art paper that suits your painting medium (acrylic or oil).
Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure adequate lighting and a clean surface to work on.
Organize Materials: Arrange your paints and brushes for easy access.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid versions in your pack are designed to guide you in accurate composition and scaling:

Grid Transfer: If necessary, transfer the line drawing onto your canvas using the grid method. This will help maintain proportion and placement.
Outline Elements: Begin by lightly sketching the main elements on your canvas or paper, using the line drawing as a reference.

Painting Process

1. Sky and Horizon

Base Layer: Start with a thin layer of gesso or a base color to prime your canvas.
Sky: Use a wide brush to apply broad strokes of pastel blues blending into peaches and pinks. Refer to the color wheel for accuracy. Work quickly to softly blend colors, capturing the seamless flow.
Horizon Line: Define the horizon with gentle strokes of orange and yellow hues where the sun meets the water.

2. Ocean and Waves

Wave Basics: Using the line guide, block in the base colors for the ocean, starting with deeper blues and highlights of turquoise for the waves.
Add Details: Introduce whites and lighter blues for the wave crests and foam. Use swift, smooth strokes to replicate movement.

3. Beach and Reflections

Wet Sand: Capture the reflections using strokes of pink, gold, and pale yellows that mirror the sky’s palette. Work with a loaded brush to replicate texture.
Enhance Reflections: Merge the sand and water reflections by softening edges with a dry brush technique.

4. Finishing Touches

Final Details: Highlight essential details with finer brushes; emphasize light on water and final touches in the sky for depth.
Evaluating Your Work: Step back and assess the balance between colors and details. Adjust where needed to create harmony and coherence.

Tip: Regularly refer to the source painting image in your pack to ensure consistency and to gain insight into contrast and mood.
