Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting of Coldingham Bay captures the raw beauty and dynamic energy of Scotland's dramatic coastline. With bold brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette, it contrasts the turbulent blues and whites of the sea against the lush greens and earthy tones of the land. The sky is a stunning gradient of stormy grays and peaceful blues, perfectly framing a quaint cluster of buildings perched above the cliffs. The artistic style is rich and expressive, focusing on texture and movement to convey the scene's atmospheric depth.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings help outline the major elements of the scene. You can use the grid version to accurately place each component by drawing a matching grid lightly on your canvas with a pencil.

Painting the Sky

Sketch the Reference: Lightly sketch the outline of the landscape from the line drawing onto your canvas.
Base Color: Start with the sky by applying a light blue base using a large flat brush.
Build Depth: Add layers of grey and darker blue to mimic the stormy clouds. Use bold, sweeping strokes to capture their movement.
Blend: Use a clean brush or dry sponge to blend the edges and soften transitions.

Painting the Sea

Base Layer: With the sky dry, apply a deep blue for the ocean's base layer, emphasizing darker tones towards the horizon.
Waves and Highlights: Use a small round brush to paint the bright white and light blue cresting waves.
Details: Add turquoise tones near the shore to reflect the shallow water.

Painting the Land

Foreground Base: Lay down earthy tones with a broad brush for the cliffs and land, mixing greens, browns, and oranges.
Textures: Switch to a palette knife for adding texture, scraping layers to reveal lower colors and create rugged terrain.
Refine: Use a detail brush to emphasize sharp edges and contrasts in the rocks.

Painting the Buildings and Final Touches

Sketch Buildings: Lightly sketch the outline of the houses on the cliffs using the line drawing.
Base Colors: Paint the buildings with neutral white and grey tones.
Details: Add windows, roofs, and subtle shadows using darker tones.
Overall Adjustments: Use a fine brush for minor refinements and ensure the integration of all elements.

Finishing

Step back to view your painting from a distance, ensuring balance and harmony.
Allow the painting to dry thoroughly.
Varnish or frame as desired to protect and display your work.
