Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Nairn Beach in Scotland is depicted in a vibrant, impressionist style bursting with energy and color. The painting captures the dynamic sky with sweeping clouds, painted in varied hues of white, grey, and deep blue, reflecting the ever-changing Scottish weather. The ocean waves gently meet the sandy shores, painted with broad, expressive strokes that mirror the play of light and shadow across the water. The sandy beach is a tapestry of warm tones — ochre, soft pinks, and hints of yellow — capturing the warmth of the sun's rays and the reflective qualities of the wet sand.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the colour wheel in your Pack)
Brushes of various sizes
Canvas
Palette
Rags or paper towels

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and optional grid version help outline key elements of the composition. Use them to transfer the primary shapes onto your canvas, ensuring correct placement and proportion of the beach, ocean, and sky elements. You can use the grid to align matching sections for more intricate detail alignment.

1. Sketching the Composition

Begin by lightly sketching the horizon line, approximately one-third from the top of your canvas, to divide the sky and beach.
Mark the positions of the main cloud formations in the sky, the waves, and the key sections of the beach using the line drawing as a reference.

2. Painting the Sky

Mix various shades of blue and grey with touches of white, as shown in your colour wheel.
Start with a large brush to paint broad strokes of the deeper blue at the top, gradually lightening it towards the horizon.
Add cloud layers using white, with hints of grey and yellow to add depth and dimension. Use dynamic, sweeping motions to mimic movement.

3. Creating the Ocean

Mix darker blues and greens for the ocean, transitioning into lighter shades as you approach the beach.
Paint the waves using horizontal strokes, capturing the foam with lighter or pure white streaks.

4. Painting the Beach

Layer the base with warm shades of ochre, pink, and yellow, blending softly into each other to represent the wet sand's reflective nature.
Use a palette knife or brush to add textures and reflections, playing with color variations to add visual interest.

5. Final Details

Define any necessary details in the clouds, waves, or beach using finer brushes.
Add finishing touches, such as subtle highlights and shadows, to bring out specific features, suggesting the sunlight’s interaction with the landscape.

By following these steps and using the provided resources in your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you will capture the vibrant essence of Nairn Beach, allowing its natural beauty and dynamic atmosphere to unfold on your canvas.
