Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Balmedie Beach in Scotland is captured in a breathtaking display of vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes. The painting depicts a serene sunset, its warm hues of orange, yellow, and red mingling effortlessly with the cool blues and purples of the sky and sea. The energetic style brings the scene to life, as the sun dips below the horizon, casting shimmering reflections on the wet sands and tranquil waters. The dramatic clouds add depth to the sky, while the contrasting tones of the shore emphasize the tranquil yet powerful essence of the landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

Set up your workspace with the Paint-Your-Own Pack materials: source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and artists grid versions.
Use the color wheel provided to familiarize yourself with the color palette.
Ensure you have your paints, brushes, and a clean palette ready for mixing.

Step 1: Sketching the Composition

Using the Grid: If using the grid version, lightly sketch the grid on your canvas to match the guide. This helps in accurate placement.
Outline the Composition: Refer to the line drawings to lightly sketch the key elements on your canvas: the horizon line, shapes of the shore, sea, and clouds.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

Base Layer: Mix a gradient of blues for the sky, starting with a deeper blue at the top transitioning to a lighter blue towards the horizon.
Add Warm Hues: Use a mix of oranges and yellows to create the sunset, blending softly into the blue sky.
Cloud Details: Using a palette knife or brush, add dynamic strokes of warm colors to form the clouds, letting them interact with the cool blues.

Step 3: Painting the Sun and Reflection

Sun: Paint a bright, almost white circle slightly above the horizon to represent the sun. Allow the edges to blend softly with the surrounding yellows and oranges.
Reflections: Extend the sun's colors into the sea with vertical strokes. Gradually introduce more blues and purples to mirror the water's surface.

Step 4: Painting the Sea and Shore

Sea: Use horizontal strokes for the waves, blending darker blues and purples near the horizon and lighter, more transparent colors as they approach the shore.
Wet Sands: Mix warm and cool tones to reflect both the sunlight and the water. Use sweeping motions to capture the texture of the wet sand.

Step 5: Final Touches

Enhance Contrast: Deepen the dark areas in the foreground rocks and shoreline for contrast.
Refine Details: Add final highlights and details to the clouds and waves to emphasize movement and light play.
Review and Adjust: Step back, review your work, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure balance and harmony in the composition.
