Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Picture a serene evening at Balmedie Beach in Scotland, where the sun sets in a magnificent display of color. The sky is a dramatic canvas of blues and purples, illuminated by vibrant pinks and oranges where the sun dips below the horizon. The rippling tide reflects these hues in soft, fragmented patterns on the wet sand, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and color. Bold strokes capture the distant cliffs, contrasting against the smooth gradient of the sky. This painting captures the serene yet powerful beauty of a Scottish sunset, making it an inspiring subject for recreation.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or art paper
Acrylic paints: Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue, Orange, Pink, White, Black
Brushes: Large flat, medium round, small detail brush
Pencil for sketching
Palette and water cup

Preparation

Set up your workspace with good lighting and all necessary materials within reach.
Inspect the provided line drawing or grid included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. The grid will help maintain composition accuracy.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

Use the grid to lightly pencil in the main elements: the horizon line, cliffs, sky, and waterline.
Outline the reflection areas on the sand, referring to the provided line drawings.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

Background Layers: Begin with broad strokes using the large flat brush. Apply a mix of Ultramarine and Cobalt Blue to the upper sky.
Sunset Glow: Use the medium round brush to blend in oranges and pinks toward the horizon. Soften the edges where colors meet.

Step 3: Define the Water and Cliffs

Cliffs: Mix Ultramarine Blue with a touch of black for the distant cliffs. Use the medium round brush for shape definition.
Waves: Use Cobalt Blue along with white to depict waves, applying with sweeping horizontal strokes. Introduce darker lines for depth with a small detail brush.

Step 4: Create Reflections

Use light, fragmented strokes to paint reflections on the water and wet sand, mixing Cobalt Blue, white, pink, and orange.
Pay attention to the direction of light; the reflections should align with the light source (the sun).

Step 5: Add Details and Finishing Touches

Add details to the waves and sand with a small brush, using white highlights for foam and spray.
Revisit any areas that need more contrast or color vibrancy.
Allow the painting to dry completely.

Final Tips

Use the color wheel provided to match specific hues. Don't hesitate to layer and blend to capture the dynamic feel of the sunset. Pause occasionally to step back and view your work from a distance, ensuring balance and harmony in your composition.
