Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Acrylic or oil paints (use the included color palette from the PDF pack)
Brushes: wide flat brush, medium round brush, and a fine detail brush
Palette for mixing colors
Water (if using acrylics)
Rags or paper towels

Preparation

Print the line drawings, sketches, and grid versions provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack.

Using the Grid and Line Drawings

Painting Instructions

1. Sky and Background

Mix orange and pink hues based on your color wheel.
Use a wide flat brush to apply the colors in broad horizontal strokes, creating the gradient sunset sky.
Blend blues and purples at the top and bottom to create a balanced gradient.
Paint the sun with a clean white or pale yellow using a medium round brush, ensuring it stands out.

2. Water Reflection

Reflect the sky colors onto the water using horizontal strokes. Pay special attention to the colors directly beneath the sun.
Use a mix of light pinks and oranges, adding some darker reds and purples near the edges of the water.

3. Cliffs and Trees

Switch to darker shades: deep greens, dark blues, and browns for the cliffs.
Paint using a medium brush. Begin with the base color then add texture with a fine brush to simulate trees and other details.
Create contrast by adding lighter colored highlights on the cliff edges facing the sunset.

4. Foreground and Rocks

Capture the rugged shoreline using a mix of darker earth tones with hints of sunset reflection.
Apply the paint in textured strokes to convey the rocky surface.
Use lighter shades to highlight edges and shapes within the rocks, creating depth and dimension.

5. Final Touches

Reassess the entire painting for balance in light and color.
Add final highlights or shadows as needed, emphasizing the sun’s glow and its impact on the scene.
Let the painting dry completely if using acrylics, and apply a varnish if desired for protection.

Enjoy your recreated masterpiece of Ardtun Bay, celebrating the enchanting allure of a Scottish sunset!
