Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine standing on the windswept sands of Balmedie Beach in Scotland as the sun sets, casting an ethereal glow across the landscape. The painting captures the tranquil lapping of waves against the shore, with the sky ablaze in warm hues of orange, yellow, and soft violet, blended seamlessly with the cool blues of an early evening sky. Wispy clouds stretch across the horizon, reflecting the sun's fading warmth. In the foreground, the sand glistens with wet reflections, creating a sense of depth and perspective that invites you to step into this serene coastal scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic or oil paints (as per palette provided in the PDF)
Brushes: flat, round, and fan
Palette knife
Canvas (size specified in the pack)
Easel or flat surface
Palette for mixing colors
Cup of water (for acrylics) or cleaning solution (for oils)

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The included line drawing and grid version help maintain the composition's accuracy and proportions. You can lightly sketch the grid and outlines onto your canvas using a pencil or lightly diluted paint, enabling easier placement of elements as you paint.

Painting Instructions

Background Sky:
- Colors: Use shades of blue, white, and a hint of violet.
- Start at the top of the canvas with a flat brush, applying light blue with sweeping horizontal strokes to replicate the sky.
- Blend in white to create the gradient effect as you move downwards.
- Add hints of violet near the horizon and gently blend.
Sunset and Clouds:
- Colors: Yellows, oranges, and soft peach.
- For the sun, place a vibrant orange-yellow circle on the horizon, blending outwards.
- Use a palette knife to layer thick impasto-styled strokes for clouds, mixing whites with yellows and soft peaches.
- Draw each cloud with attention to its unique shape, following the reference image.
Sea Waves:
- Colors: Deep blues, whites, and a touch of teal.
- Use horizontal strokes to depict the ocean, starting from the horizon with deeper blues.
- Add white caps and foamy edges with a fan brush or knife.
- Incorporate teal to add vibrancy and dimension to the waves.
Beach and Reflections:
- Colors: Sand tones, warm orange, and reflected sky colors.
- Apply sandy hues across the beach area with a large flat brush.
- Add patches of warm orange closer to the water edge to indicate the sunset's reflection.
- Use a palette knife to mimic the texture of wet sand and add reflected sky colors for depth.
Final Touches:
- Add fine details to the sand and waves using a smaller brush.
- Adjust highlights and shadows for depth, ensuring smooth transitions.
- Consider slight adjustments according to personal style while maintaining element proportions per the reference image.

Remember to step back occasionally to view the painting from a distance, ensuring uniformity and harmony throughout the artwork. Enjoy the artistic journey as you bring the vibrant landscape of Balmedie Beach to life!
