Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the vivid beauty of Achmelvich Beach, as depicted in this vibrant painting. The scene captures the dazzling play of sunlight as it sets over the majestic Scottish highlands. Soft, sandy beaches meet the playful blues and greens of the sea, framed by rugged mountains. The sky is ablaze with warm hues of orange, pink, and yellow, creating a stunning contrast against the cool tones of the ocean. The thick, textured brushstrokes lend a dynamic, impressionistic style to the work, transporting you to a serene yet dramatic landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail sizes
  • Pencil
  • Palette and palette knife
  • Water cup (for acrylics) or brush cleaner (for oils)
  • Cloth or paper towels

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional artist’s grid will help you accurately position key elements of the landscape. Start by lightly sketching the outlines on your canvas using a pencil, referring to the source image and grid for guidance.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Sky
    • Mix warm tones: rich oranges, pinks, and yellows.
    • Use a flat brush to layer these colours across the sky, blending softly where they meet.
    • Add depth by incorporating streaks of darker orange and light purple towards the top.
  2. Mountain Range
    • Move to the mountains in the distance using a mix of dark browns, deep purples, and touches of blue.
    • Create distinct shapes with a palette knife to enhance the rugged texture.
  3. Sun and Ocean
    • Paint the sun as a radiant circle using pure white, blending with light yellows and oranges as you move outward.
    • For the ocean, use vibrant blues and greens, adding white highlights for waves.
    • Create the effect of light reflection on the water by dragging a palette knife lightly over the surface, mixing in touches of sky colours.
  4. Beach and Foreground
    • Blend soft creams and sandy yellows for the beach area.
    • In the foreground, apply impasto technique with a palette knife using varied earth tones: warm browns, reds, and hints of blue.
    • Emphasize texture to replicate the rocky beach surface.
  5. Final Details
    • Once the painting is mostly dry, use a smaller detail brush to refine edges and add any highlights or shadows.
    • Check the alignment and adjust with reference to your grid as needed.

Finishing Touches

Allow the painting to dry completely before adding any final varnish or protective coating. Step back occasionally to evaluate your work, ensuring balance and harmony across the composition.
