Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures the breathtaking cliffs of Shetland, Scotland, in a vibrant and expressive style. The scene is dominated by rugged cliffs painted in bold strokes of red, orange, and brown, contrasting dramatically with the turbulent blues and greens of the sea. Above, gentle rolling hills painted in soft greens lead the eye towards a quaint, distant structure that adds a touch of human presence to the dramatic landscape. The sky, rendered in soft grays and whites with hints of blue, complements the vivid land and sea, creating a balanced composition. The overall style is impressionistic, characterized by dynamic brushwork and a vivid color palette that evokes the wild beauty of the Scottish coast.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or painting paper
Acrylic paints matching the color palette
Pencil for sketching
Brushes: Flat, round, and detail
Palette
Water and cloth for cleaning brushes
Optional: Artists grid

Preparation

Gather all materials and set up your workspace.
Ensure the lighting is adequate to see colors and details clearly.
Review the source painting, line drawings, and color wheel from the PDF.

Step 1: Sketch the Outline

Use the line drawings from the PDF to sketch the basic outline of the cliffs, sea, and distant structure on your canvas.
Tip: If using the artists grid, overlay it on the canvas to ensure accurate proportions and placement, matching the grid provided in the PDF.

Step 2: Block in the Sky

Mix soft grays and blues as indicated on the color wheel.
Use wide, smooth brushstrokes to paint the sky, leaving subtle transitions between the colors to capture the gentle clouds.

Step 3: Paint the Sea

Using a flat brush, apply deep blues and greens for the ocean, drawing inspiration from the palette.
Add white highlights to emulate reflections and waves, blending them smoothly.

Step 4: Develop the Cliffs

Switch to a round brush for more control and create the rugged texture of the cliffs.
Layer bold strokes of reds, oranges, and browns, using the line drawings as a guide for shape and position.
Vary your brushwork to create a dynamic texture.

Step 5: Add the Greenery and Structure

Mix multiple shades of green as shown in the color wheel.
Paint the rolling hills leading up to the structure, ensuring smooth transitions and subtle highlights.
Detail the small structure with fine brushes, using lighter tones to create depth and reflection.

Step 6: Final Touches

Review the painting from a distance, checking for areas that need correction or enhancement.
Add final highlights and shadows to enhance realism, particularly along cliff edges and in the ocean.
Use a detail brush for any fine adjustments.

Finishing Up

Clean your brushes thoroughly and allow the painting to dry completely. Reflect on your work, admiring how the vivid colors and expressive brushwork capture the essence of Shetland’s stunning landscape.
