Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Experience the serene beauty of Longniddry Beach through a canvas that captures the vibrant expanse of sky, sand, and sea. This painting draws the viewer into a dynamic portrayal of coastal life where soft pastels blend into bold strokes of azure, evoking a sense of breezy tranquility. The scene is punctuated by leisurely figures strolling along the shore, adding a narrative of relaxed exploration to the panoramic view. The sky dominates with its dramatic clouds rendered in sweeping, textured strokes, creating a delightful juxtaposition with the more muted tones of the sand and water. This piece is a vibrant study in cool blues, warm sands, and crisp whites, encapsulating the essence of a breezy day by the sea.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Source painting image
  • Line drawing/sketch
  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic paints (as shown in the colour palette)
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Palette for mixing
  • Water and paper towels for cleaning brushes

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

Using the line drawing: Begin by lightly sketching the main outlines onto your canvas using the included line drawing or sketch as a guide. Pay close attention to the horizon line and major elements like the figures and main cloud formations.

Step 2: Establish the Horizon and Sky

  1. Mix Shades of Blue: Use your palette to mix the various shades of blue for the sky, as noted in the colour wheel.
  2. Paint the Sky: Begin at the top of the canvas with the darkest blues, gradually lightening the color towards the horizon.
  3. Add Clouds: Using a larger brush, apply broad strokes of white and gray to form the clouds. Use sweeping motions to mimic their airy form.

Step 3: Paint the Sea

  1. Mix Sea Colours: Combine blues and greens from the palette for the ocean shades.
  2. Apply Ocean Layers: Start painting from the horizon downwards, adding depth and texture with varied brush strokes to reflect the motion of the waves.

Step 4: Define the Beach

  1. Mix Sand Colours: Prepare soft peach, pink, and beige tones.
  2. Paint the Sand: Cover the beach area with blended strokes to create a smooth transition between different hues on the sand.

Step 5: Bring in Details with Figures and Foreground

  1. Render Figures: Use smaller brushes to add the figures. Refer to the line drawing for accurate proportions and positions.
  2. Add Foreground Textures: Use a palette knife or a stiff brush to apply textures and finer details to the foreground, particularly near the water’s edge.

Step 6: Final Touches and Highlights

  1. Add Highlights: Use white and light yellow to add highlights on the water and along the sand for depth and brightness.
  2. Retouch Shadows: Enhance shadows under the clouds and figures to give them weight and realism.

Using the Grid for Composition Accuracy

If you opted to use the grid version, ensure your initial sketch aligns with the grid lines. This will help maintain proportion and placement accuracy as you develop the painting.

Enjoy the process of bringing Longniddry Beach to life and capture its vibrant essence through your artistic interpretation!
