Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Scarista Beach in Scotland is beautifully captured in this expressive and dynamic artwork. The painting showcases a stunning sunset over a tranquil ocean, with the luminous sun casting a warm glow across the water and sand. The foreground features a mixture of vibrant blues, purples, pinks, and warm yellows, creating a harmonious and vivid foreground that reflects the light of the setting sun. This painting is characterized by its bold brushstrokes and a lively contrast between light and dark hues, bringing the natural beauty of the landscape to life.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting panel
  • Acrylic or oil paints as per provided palette
  • Brushes: a mix of flat and round brushes
  • Pallet knife (optional for texture)
  • Palette for mixing colors

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Begin by lightly sketching the line drawing provided in your pack onto your canvas. Use the grid option if you desire more precision in composition placement. This helps map out key elements like the horizon line, sun, and where different colors will transition.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

  1. Mix your blues for the top half of the sky and start applying with a flat brush. Create sweeping motions to mimic the dynamic brushstrokes in the original painting.
  2. Add in orange and yellow closer to the horizon. Blend gently where colors meet to depict the gradation of the sunset.

Step 3: Painting the Sun and Horizon

  1. Paint the sun using the bright white or pale yellow. Use a small round brush for this detail.
  2. Mix darker hues of blue and purple to form the silhouettes of the distant hills.

Step 4: Adding Details to the Water

  1. Use lighter shades of blue and turquoise for the water reflections. Apply these colors smoothly under the sun’s direct reflection area.
  2. Introduce gentle brushstrokes of orange and yellow to capture the reflection of the sky, blending where necessary.

Step 5: Developing the Foreground

  1. For the sand, blend a mixture of soft pinks, purples, and whites. Use your palette knife to apply thick, textured strokes.
  2. Add darker blues and purples to the lower corners to create depth and contrast.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Re-evaluate contrasts and highlights. Add additional white highlights over the water and sand to intensify the light effects.
  2. Use a fine brush or palette knife to add any missed details or enhance texture in the landscape.

Stand back to ensure balance and harmony in your painting. Make any final adjustments needed to capture the dynamic essence of Scarista Beach.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer to the colour wheel included in your pack to ensure colour harmony. Pay attention to complementary colors used in the sky and water reflections for a balanced and vivid image.

Enjoy the process and allow the expressive style of the painting to guide your creativity!
