Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Longniddry Beach, a serene scape on Scotland's eastern coast, is bathed in the vibrant hues of a striking sunset. This painting captures the expansive sky filled with swirling, expressive clouds painted in shades of pink, orange, and purple. The calm sea reflects the dazzling light of the setting sun, creating a mirrored effect on the wet sand. Rich blues and golds intermingle, with crisp silhouettes of distant figures adding depth and life to the scene. The use of bold brushstrokes and a bright, dramatic colour palette lend the painting a dynamic, impressionistic style.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or high-quality paper
  • Assorted brushes (flat and round)
  • Acrylic or oil paints matching the colour palette
  • Palette for mixing
  • Water cup and cloth for cleaning brushes

Setting Up

Use the provided line drawing to sketch the basic outlines on your canvas. If you’re using the grid version, draw a light grid on your canvas to aid accurate composition. Use the sketch to ensure the horizon and reflective details are placed correctly.

Painting the Sky

  1. Base Layer: Begin with a light wash of blue for the upper sky, transitioning to orange and pink towards the horizon.
  2. Cloud Formation: Using a broad, flat brush, apply bold strokes of pinks and purples. Blend them subtly to show movement and depth.
  3. Light Highlights: Add dabs of light yellow and cream to suggest the sun’s radiance peeking through the clouds.

Creating the Sea

  1. Horizon Line: Paint a thin, deep blue band to represent the distant sea.
  2. Water Reflections: With a medium-sized brush, add blue and white streaks, tapering them towards the shoreline to create a sense of motion.

Capturing Reflections on the Sand

  1. Beyond the Horizon: Start with a base of pale yellows and pinks where the light hits the wet sand.
  2. Add Details: With a smaller brush, integrate darker browns and blues to mimic the wet sand’s texture and the reflection of the figures.
  3. Sun Reflection: Place more intense whites and gentle strokes of yellowish gold directly underneath the sun’s position.

Adding Figures and Final Touches

  1. Silhouette Figures: Use darker tones to paint small figures on the left, maintaining their reflections on the wet sand.
  2. Details and Corrections: Refine any details and balance the overall contrast with selective highlights and shadows.
  3. Final Review: Step back to review the composition, ensuring the colour blend feels harmonious and the perspective is accurate.

Tip: Regularly reference the colour wheel included in the pack to ensure your palette remains consistent with the original painting.
