Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of St Cyrus Beach, where the sky explodes into a mesmerizing symphony of vivid colors as the sun sets on the horizon. The painting captures the tranquil ebb and flow of the tide, reflecting the captivating hues of pinks, purples, and blues in the wet sands. The scene is alive with dynamic brushstrokes, evoking a sense of motion and awe. The palette is rich and vibrant, with warm yellows and oranges bursting through cool blues and purples, creating a harmonious blend that embodies the essence of a serene evening on the Scottish coast.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Preparation

  • Materials: Ensure you have all materials from your kit ready, including brushes, paints, canvas, and the Paint-Your-Own Pack.
  • Space: Set up a comfortable and well-lit area to work in.
  • Review: Start by reviewing the source image and accompanying sketches to familiarize yourself with the composition.

Step 2: Use the Line Drawings and Grid

Unpack the line drawings included in your pack. If you prefer, use the artists' grid version to help ensure accurate proportions. Lightly pencil the main outlines onto your canvas using the grid as a guide.

Step 3: Background Sky

  1. Base Layer: Begin with a wash of light blue across the upper portion of the canvas for the sky base. Use broad strokes to cover the area quickly.
  2. Clouds: Add the dramatic clouds with sweeping strokes of pink and purple. Remember to keep your brush loose to mimic the movement of the sky.
  3. Sunset Glow: Introduce warm yellows and oranges near the horizon to suggest the setting sun. Blend lightly where the colors meet for a smooth transition.

Step 4: Ocean Waves

  1. Horizon: Apply a dark blue line to define the horizon line. Ensure it is level and straight.
  2. Waves: Use different shades of blue and white to paint the waves. Capture the frothy texture by dabbing lightly with your brush.

Step 5: Reflective Sands

  1. Base Reflection: Paint the wet sand with a mixture of light pinks and blues, reflecting the sky above.
  2. Details: Add darker accents where rocks and pools reflect deeper shadows. Keep your strokes fluid to mimic water’s reflective quality.

Step 6: Final Touches

  • Refinements: Refine any areas needing more definition or color; adjust shadows and highlights to enhance depth.
  • Edges: Ensure all edges are soft and transitions between colors are smooth.

Step 7: Review and Enjoy

Step back and review your painting. Make any final tweaks needed to achieve the desired effect. Once satisfied, let your masterpiece dry completely.

Celebrate your artwork by displaying it in a place where the beauty of St Cyrus Beach can be admired every day.
