Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Scarista Beach captures the wild beauty and dramatic contrasts of the Scottish coastline. Stormy clouds dominate the sky, rendered in deep grays and blues, swirling into delicate lighter tones, hinting at the sun breaking through. Below, the tranquil sea reflects vibrant turquoise hues, gently merging with the golden sands of the beach. Grassy dunes, painted with dynamic strokes of greens and oranges, create a vivid foreground. This piece showcases an expressive style with bold brushwork, imbuing emotion and movement throughout.

The color wheel provided in the pack highlights key colors: deep blues, grays, turquoise, golden yellows, lively oranges, and various greens. Optional colors can be mixed using primary colors for subtle variations.

Preparation

Set up your workspace with ample lighting.

Using Line Drawings and Grids

The included line drawings provide a guide for outlining key elements of the painting. Use these to trace or sketch the composition onto your canvas. If using the grid version, align the grid on your canvas over the drawing to ensure accurate proportions and placements.

Painting Steps

Step 1: Sky and Clouds

Begin with the sky using broad strokes of gray and blue. Use a flat brush for smooth blending.
Add lighter tones to the cloud edges to indicate sunlight breaking through.
Use a fan brush for delicate cloud textures, allowing for soft, diffuse edges.

Step 2: Mountains and Horizon

Mix deeper blues with a hint of black to paint distant mountains, keeping edges soft for depth.
Transition into lighter blues and greens closer to the horizon line, blending into the sky.

Step 3: Sea

Using turquoise and white, paint the sea with horizontal strokes, capturing the peaceful waves.
Add hints of green and blue in the water, integrating seamlessly with the beach tones.

Step 4: Beach

Apply golden yellows and ochres for the sand, using a sweeping motion to mimic the natural drift.
Blend lighter shades towards the water's edge for a wet sand effect.

Step 5: Foreground Dunes

Introduce dynamic strokes of greens and oranges in the grassy dunes, using bold, expressive brushwork.
Add depth with darker tones and highlights with lighter greens and yellows.

Step 6: Details and Finishing Touches

Add fine lines and details in the grass and sand for texture using a small round brush.
Step back and assess the overall composition. Make any necessary adjustments to color and balance.

Final Steps: Allow the paint to dry fully. Once dry, consider applying a varnish to protect the painting and enhance its colors.
