Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Lunan Bay, nestled on the rugged coastline of Scotland, is portrayed with dynamic brushwork and vibrant colors in this captivating painting. The scene captures the drama of the Scottish weather, with sweeping skies filled with churning clouds and the sun peeking through to illuminate the green cliffs and sandy shores below. The interplay of light and shadow across the landscape is masterfully depicted, evoking a sense of movement and life. The rich blues of the ocean contrast with the earthy tones of the sand and the lush greens of the cliffs, creating a harmonious and balanced composition.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints based on the color wheel provided
  • Various brushes: flat, round, and fan
  • Palette knife
  • Pencil for sketching

1. Preparing Your Canvas

Begin by preparing your canvas with a light wash of a neutral color, such as a diluted gray. This will serve as your underpainting and help unify the colors that follow.

2. Utilizing the Line Drawings and Grid

Use the provided line drawings to outline the major elements of the composition onto your canvas. If using the grid method, align the grids on the line drawing and canvas to ensure accurate proportions and placement of each element.

3. Painting the Sky

  1. Base Layer: Mix varying shades of blue to create depth in the sky. Apply the lightest shades where the sun breaks through clouds.
  2. Clouds: Use a combination of white, gray, and subtle blues. Apply paint with a fan brush in swift, circular motions to mimic the swirling clouds.
  3. Details: With a small round brush, add highlights using pure white to represent sunlight and use darker tones for shadowed areas.

4. Capturing the Ocean

  1. Base Color: Apply deep blue tones for the distant waves, transitioning to lighter turquoise for the shoreline.
  2. Wave Details: Use a palette knife to apply white and light blue in horizontal strokes to create the illusion of waves and whitecaps.

5. Painting the Cliffs

  1. Base Layer: Begin with dark greens and browns, applied with a flat brush to create the cliff’s base structure.
  2. Highlights and Shadows: Add light green and highlighted yellows for sunlit areas, and deeper browns for shadows using a smaller brush for detail.

6. Rendering the Sands

  1. Base Color: Apply light, sandy colors mixed with subtle pinks and peach tones for the sand. Use broad strokes for a soft texture.
  2. Details: Incorporate hints of the blues and greens reflecting from the sea and grass by using a dry brush technique lightly over the sand.

7. Final Touches

Review the painting overall, adding any additional highlights or shadows to enhance depth. Use a fine brush to add any small details, such as textures on the beaches or definition on the waves.

8. Review and Adjust

Step back and view your painting from a distance. Make any adjustments needed to color balance or composition to ensure a harmonious recreation of the Lunan Bay scene.

Once complete, set your painting aside to dry thoroughly. Enjoy your beautiful rendition of Lunan Bay!
