Painting Guide

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Start by ensuring your canvas is primed and ready. Use the grid version included in your pack to mark the key sections lightly with a pencil. This will help in aligning the major elements accurately.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

  1. Begin with the sky, mixing different shades of blue using your colour wheel. Start with the darker shades at the top and gradually transition to lighter blues and whites as you reach the horizon.
  2. Use broad and sweeping brush strokes to replicate the dynamic cloud forms, applying more white in the areas where the clouds are dominant.

Step 3: Creating the Hills

  1. Use earthy browns mixed with hints of green to create the distant hills. Use the line drawing as your guide for their placement and shape.
  2. Apply a dabbing technique with a medium brush to create the texture and depth of the hills.

Step 4: The Water and Beach

  1. Mix the sky blues and add a touch of the sandy beige to paint the water, focusing on the transitions between deeper and lighter areas.
  2. For the beach, blend sandy beige with soft yellows to capture the warm, inviting sands. Ensure your strokes are horizontal to suggest flatness.

Step 5: Detailing the Foreground

  1. Use darker tones and slate greys to paint the rocky foreground. Refer to the sketch for accuracy in shape and size.
  2. Add highlights and shadows using subtle blends of grey and black to enhance the three-dimensional effect.

Step 6: Final Touches

Observe the painting from a distance. Use finer brushes to add final details, ensuring the highlights and shadow areas are balanced. The optional artists' grid will assist in achieving composition accuracy here.

Tips and Techniques

  • Blending: Use a dry brush technique for smooth transitions between shades.
  • Texture: Utilize palette knives to mimic the rugged texture of the rocks.
  • Perspective: Keep referring back to the line drawings to ensure perspective and proportion are maintained.

Enjoy the painting process, immerse yourself in the experience, and most importantly, have fun recreating the magnificent Silver Sands of Morar!
