Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Calgary Bay in Scotland is beautifully captured in this vibrant and lively painting. The artwork features a stunning, expansive beach with azure waters gently lapping against the shore. The rolling hills in the background shimmer in golden hues, spotted with lush greenery. A quaint, solitary cottage nestled amidst the verdant hills adds a quaint charm to the scene. The painting embodies an impressionistic style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a vivid color palette of blues, greens, yellows, and whites, capturing the serene beauty and tranquility of this coastal paradise.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic or oil paints (colors as shown in the color wheel)
  • Various brushes (flat, round, and detail)
  • Palette
  • Water (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)
  • Easel

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack provide a basic structure of the painting, outlining major elements like the coastline, hills, and cottage. The optional grid can help ensure the correct composition and proportions by aligning your canvas grid with the grid overlay provided. Begin transferring the line drawing onto your canvas using light pencil or charcoal lines.

Painting Instructions

  1. Sky and Background
    • Start with the background, focusing on the sky. Use a mix of light blues and whites to create a bright, airy sky. Apply in broad strokes, blending the colors softly for a seamless gradient.
    • Add a hint of soft clouds by mixing a touch more white and gently blending it into the blue.
  2. Sea and Shore
    • Use the blue palette to gradually build the water, starting with deeper tones at the horizon and transitioning to lighter blues and aquamarines closer to the shore.
    • Add hints of yellow-green to reflect sunlight on the water near the coastline, using a dry brush technique for a sparkling effect.
    • Paint the sandy beach in warm whites and yellows. Layer in some darker tones for shadows and rocks.
  3. Hills and Foliage
    • For the rolling hills, use a combination of greens and yellows. Begin with darker greens as a base, then add layers of lighter green and pale yellow to give depth and sunlight impact.
    • Detail the trees using dark greens and browns, with lighter highlights to suggest leaves catching the sun.
  4. Detail the Cottage
    • Paint the cottage in contrasting colors to stand out against the background. Use dark browns and whites for the roof and walls respectively. Add small details like windows and doors using a fine brush.
  5. Final Touches
    • Revisit and refine any key areas. Check contrast and adjust highlights and shadows for realistic depth.
    • Add any final touches, like detailed grasses in the foreground with flicks of a thin brush for added texture.

Enjoy bringing the picturesque serenity of Calgary Bay to life through your painting! Let your brushstrokes reflect the freedom and emotion of this tranquil landscape.
