Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting beautifully captures the rugged cliffs of Orkney, Scotland, with breathtaking splashes of color and dynamic brushstrokes. The cliffs stand tall against the azure waves, showing a contrast between the cool blues of the sea and the warm, earthy tones of the rocks and fields. The sky is a soft, muted gradient that complements the lively colors below. This artwork is a blend of impressionism and abstract, highlighting energy through bold strokes and a vibrant palette.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed:

Canvas or thick paper
Acrylic or oil paints
Brushes (various sizes)
Palette
Source painting image
Line drawings and sketches
Artists grid (optional)
Colour wheel

Preparation:

Set up your workspace with all necessary materials. Ensure you have good lighting and a comfortable position.
Study the source image to understand the composition, color balance, and emotional tone. Refer to the included color wheel for guidance on the palette.
Decide whether to use the grid version to help transfer the composition accurately to your canvas.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid:

The line drawings and artists grid are tools designed to help you lay out the composition accurately:

Grids: Use the grid version to divide your canvas into manageable sections. This helps in maintaining the proportions and placement of key elements.
Line Drawings: Begin by tracing or lightly sketching the main outlines from the line drawing. Focus on the cliffs and coastline; these are your focal points.

Painting Steps:

Background:
- Mix soft blues and whites for the sky. Use broad, loose strokes to apply these paints, starting from the top of your canvas.
- Blend towards the horizon to achieve a smooth gradient.
Midground: Sea and Waves
- Utilize a variety of blues from your palette. Begin applying these to the sea area using short, swift strokes.
- Introduce whites to create foamy waves, using a dry brush technique for texture.
Foreground: Cliffs and Land
- Start with the cliffs. Combine ochres, siennas, and burnt umbers to paint the rocks using vertical, layered strokes for depth.
- Add splashes of oranges and reds for highlights where sunlight hits the cliffs.
- Paint the grassy areas atop the cliffs using blends of greens and yellows, using sweeping horizontal strokes.
Final Touches:
- Revisit any areas needing more vibrancy or contrast, paying attention to the interaction between light and shadow.
- Ensure all elements feel cohesive and dynamic, embodying the energy of the original painting.

Conclusion:

Take a step back to view your painting. Compare it with the source image to identify any areas that might need adjustments. Don't forget to sign your artwork! Enjoy the process and feel proud of recreating a piece of Orkney's breathtaking landscape.
