Painting Instructions

  1. Sky and Background Islands:
    • Begin by painting the sky with a blend of light blue tones to capture the clear Scottish sky. Use horizontal brushstrokes for a smooth gradient.
    • Add the distant islands using a mix of earthy yellows and browns, allowing them to subtly blend into the background.
  2. Water and Horizon:
    • Apply varied blue tones for the water, adding white for reflections and depth.
    • Define the horizon with a gentle mix of deep blues and subtle grays.
  3. Beaches and Foreground:
    • Paint the sandy beaches with warm whites and soft pinks to highlight their gentle curves.
    • For the foreground vegetation, use a dynamic mix of greens and yellows, employing expressive strokes to suggest texture and movement.
  4. Details and Final Touches:
    • Add final details to rocks and vegetation using darker shades for contrast and additional brushstrokes for texture.
    • Step back to assess the overall balance, making adjustments in color intensity and contrast as needed.
