Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Coldingham Bay in Scotland is brought to life with vibrant, sweeping strokes that capture the ethereal beauty of a sunset over the rugged coastline. The sky is a dance of warm oranges, pinks, and yellows, transitioning into cooler blues, creating a captivating contrast with the calm, reflective waters below. The rocky shoreline, depicted with textured, earthy tones, adds depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the serene landscape. This painting beautifully captures the essence of a tranquil evening by the sea, with an impressionist style that emphasizes movement and light.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas (pre-stretched and primed)
Acrylic or oil paints matching the provided colour wheel
Paintbrushes (various sizes including flat, round, and fan brushes)
Palette knives
Source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and artist grid from the Paint-Your-Own Pack
Palette for mixing colours
Water and paper towels (for acrylics)
Linseed oil and turpentine (for oils)

Using Line Drawings and Grids

Line Drawings: Use the line drawings to outline the key components of the scene on your canvas. This will act as a guide for your composition.

Artist Grid: The optional grid can help ensure accurate proportions and placement of elements. Transfer the grid to your canvas lightly with pencil and align with the source image.

Painting Instructions

Prepare Your Canvas: Set up your canvas using either the line drawing or artist grid to sketch the basic outline of the landscape. Use light pencil marks to avoid visible outlines later.
Sky and Sunrise:
- Mix the Colors: Utilize your palette to mix shades of blue, pink, orange, and yellow as shown in the colour wheel.
- Apply the Base Layers: Start by painting the sky working from the top downwards. Use long, sweeping strokes for clouds with a large flat brush, blending edges softly.
- Highlight the Sun: Paint the sun with a bright yellow mixed with white for brilliance. Use a smaller round brush for detail.
Sea and Reflections:
- Mix Ocean Hues: Create various shades of blue with hints of green and white for the reflections.
- Paint the Water: Use horizontal strokes to lay down the base color, following the composition lines for wave patterns.
- Add Reflections: With a palette knife, sweep reflective colors downwards from the sun's position, incorporating light yellows and oranges.
Rocks and Shoreline:
- Texture and Depth: For the rocky areas, use earthy browns, dark blues, and greys. A palette knife can be effective here for texture.
- Define the Shore: Apply short, choppy strokes to depict rugged rocks and cliffs.
Final Touches:
- Detailing: Use smaller brushes to add fine details like highlights on rocks and subtle shadowing.
- Blending and Corrections: Step back, assess the overall balance, and make necessary adjustments for consistency and harmony.

Allow your painting to dry completely before displaying or framing. Enjoy your rendition of Coldingham Bay, capturing the serene beauty of Scotland's coastline!
