Step-by-Step Painting Process

  1. Sky and Background:
    • Mix a soft blue for the sky using the colour wheel as a guide.
    • Paint the sky, blending lighter areas to mimic clouds.
    • Introduce subtle darker strokes for depth near the horizon.
  2. Hills and Cliffs:
    • Using greens and yellows, start with the distant hills, incorporating darker greens for shadows.
    • Apply more textured and varied strokes for the cliffs, blending areas of shadow and light.
    • Add rocky textures with a fine brush using grey tones.
  3. Water:
    • Create a gradient starting with deep blue and transitioning to turquoise near the shore.
    • Use lighter strokes to depict the movement and reflections on the water surface.
  4. Beach:
    • Mix light sandy tones using your colour wheel.
    • Carefully paint the curve of the beach, adding darker tones for shadows.
  5. Foreground Wildflowers:
    • Start with a base layer of greens for the groundwork.
    • Apply bright strokes of pinks, oranges, and whites to depict the variety of flowers.
    • Use small, deliberate brushstrokes to capture detail and vibrancy.

Final Touches

  1. Refinement: Once your main areas are completed, step back to assess the balance and harmony of the painting.
  2. Details: With a fine brush, add final details such as highlights on the rocks and subtle shifts in color for depth.
  3. Let it Dry: Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying or framing.

Enjoy the Journey: Take your time with each step, allowing the landscape of Calgary Bay to come alive in your unique style. Your careful attention to detail will ensure that the tranquil beauty of this Scottish gem is beautifully recreated on your canvas.
