Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Sandwood Bay, a pristine and remote stretch of beach in Scotland, captivates with its sublime beauty. In this painting, the vibrant hues of a setting sun cast a warm glow over the tranquil sea, rocks, and golden sands. The brilliant oranges, pinks, and blues blend seamlessly, embodying the fleeting yet breathtaking transitions of dusk. The sky boasts dynamic brushstrokes, capturing the ever-changing cloud formations, while the serene waves mirror the sky’s colors, creating a cohesive harmony. This painting’s impressionistic style emphasizes expressive brushwork, allowing you to explore texture and movement, making each creation uniquely yours.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or watercolor paper
Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the color wheel included in your pack)
Paintbrushes of various sizes
Palette knife (optional, for texture)
Palette for mixing colors
Water cup (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)
Rag or paper towels

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Begin by setting up your workspace and ensuring all materials are within reach. If you're using the artists grid version, lightly sketch the grid onto your canvas to maintain composition accuracy. Transfer the line drawing onto your canvas using light pencil marks. This will serve as your guide.

Step 2: Block in the Sky

Colors: Sky blue, shades of pink, and peach.

Mix your colors according to the color wheel guide.
Use a large brush to paint the sky, starting with a gradient from lighter blues at the top to warm pinks and peaches near the horizon.
Blend the colors smoothly while maintaining brushstroke texture for an impressionistic effect.

Step 3: Paint the Sun and Horizon

Colors: Bright yellow, orange, and white.

Use a smaller brush to add the sun, focusing on a warm, bright center.
Blend outward with orange and yellow to create a radiant effect.
Define the distant horizon with a thin, dark line where the sun meets the sea.

Step 4: Add the Sea

Colors: Deep blues, aqua, and reflective oranges.

Layer the ocean colors from dark blue near the horizon to lighter shades as you move down.
Use horizontal brushstrokes to create the effect of waves, highlighting them with touches of white.
Add reflections of the sun on the water using diluted orange and yellow tones.

Step 5: Paint the Rocks and Sand

Colors: Earthy browns, teals, and creamy whites.

Define the rocks on either side of the canvas using bold, dark strokes.
Paint the sand at the foreground in a lighter, blend of creams and sandy hues.
Mix in touches of teal and blue to depict wet areas of sand reflecting the sky.
Consider using a palette knife for texture on rocks and sand, adding depth and interest.

Step 6: Final Details and Adjustments

Step back and examine your painting. Make any adjustments needed to balance the composition or enhance color saturation. Add highlights and shadows to increase depth, and refine shapes as necessary.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and grid versions can help maintain accurate proportions and composition. Use them to trace or sketch the basic outlines before painting. The grid assists in ensuring key elements like the horizon, sun, and rocks are placed accurately.

Embrace the impressionistic style and don’t worry about achieving perfection in detail. The beauty of this painting lies in its expression and the way color and form capture the essence of Sandwood Bay’s enchanting sunset.
