Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine the serene beauty of Balmedie Beach in Scotland, captured at a moment when the sun kisses the horizon. The painting captures a vivid tapestry of colors: the deep blues of the gathering evening sky blend with the warm, vibrant oranges and pinks of the setting sun, reflected in the gentle ripples of the shoreline. The dramatic brushwork, with its energetic strokes, lends a sense of movement to the clouds and waves, reflecting an artistic style that embraces both realism and impressionism. The contrast between the wild colors of the sand and sea and the calm, dark silhouette of the distant dunes creates a breathtaking scene of natural beauty.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic paints or oil paints (refer to the included color wheel)
Canvas or painting paper
Brushes of various sizes (flat, round, and detail brushes)
Palette for mixing colors
Stencil or masking tape (optional for clean lines)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by reviewing the provided line drawings and optional artist’s grid version. These tools will help you accurately outline the composition on your canvas.

Transfer the Image: Use the line drawing to transfer the basic outlines of the landscape onto your canvas. If using the grid method, match each section of the grid on the line drawing to your canvas, ensuring proper proportions.
Planning Your Canvas: Begin by establishing which sections of the canvas correlate to the sky, dunes, sea, and reflections, ensuring accurate placement.

Painting Instructions

Background Sky:
- Mix a range of blue hues, using the color palette as a guide, for the sky. Apply using broad, expressive strokes to emulate the movement of the clouds.
- Gradually blend in lighter shades as you move toward the horizon, where the sun sets.
Sunset and Clouds:
- Using vibrant oranges, yellows, and pinks, depict the sun’s glow. Apply these colors in bold, textured strokes for a dynamic look.
- Overlay lighter colors on the edges to represent the illuminating effect of the sun on the clouds.
Dunes and Horizon:
- Utilize darker earth tones, such as burnt sienna or deep umber, to paint the distant dunes.
- Ensure the horizon line is straight, using masking tape for sharpness if needed.
Seascape:
- Mix various blue tones for the water, applying them in horizontal, slightly curving strokes to mimic waves.
- Add highlights using white to represent the sun’s reflection on the water.
Beach and Reflections:
- Use purples, pinks, and yellows to paint the sand and its reflective quality, capturing the vibrant reflections of the sky.
- Apply paint in layered, crisscrossing strokes for depth and texture.

Final Touches

Evaluate the balance of colors and make any necessary adjustments to contrast or hue to enhance the painting’s vibrance.
Allow the painting to dry completely. For oil paintings, this may take longer than acrylics.

Your vibrant recreation of Balmedie Beach should now convey the magical essence of this Scottish landscape. Embrace the unique characteristics of your brushwork and color choices to make your painting truly your own.
