Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Nairn Beach in Scotland is captured in a breathtaking display of color and texture, reminiscent of the bold, expressive style of abstract landscapes. The painting beautifully contrasts the deep, inviting blues of the sky with the warm, sunlit hues of the beachfront. Soft creams and peaches melt into more fiery oranges and golds, creating a dynamic movement across the canvas. The use of broad, sweeping brush strokes alongside delicate splatters and drips adds a textural richness, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the serene yet vibrant atmosphere of this coastal jewel.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic paints (refer to the included color wheel for palette)
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and fan varieties
  • Palette knife
  • Palette for mixing colors

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Refer to the included line drawings to identify major compositional elements. Use the optional artist grid to assist with accurate placement. The grid will help ensure the horizon line, key color divisions, and textural elements are all correctly proportioned within your work space.

Painting Instructions

  1. Preparing Your Canvas
    • Begin by applying a thin layer of gesso if necessary, to prime the surface for painting.
    • Using the grid method, gently outline key elements with a light pencil, keeping your lines faint.
  2. Base Layer
    • Start with the sky, using a mix of blues to create a gradient effect, going from darker at the top to lighter as it meets the horizon.
    • Blend into the horizon using lighter whites and creams to form the clouds.
  3. Middle Layer
    • For the beachfront, use broad strokes of warm colors such as peach, cream, and light pinks to lay the base.
    • Allow patches of canvas to show through to add depth and texture.
  4. Foreground & Details
    • Introduce the vibrant oranges and golds using a palette knife to achieve the expressive texture seen in the foreground.
    • Add darker contrasts with gray and deep blue to highlight stone or shadowy elements using blocky, abstract strokes.
  5. Final Touches
    • Splash in some final detailing with thin brushes to emphasize small details or add linear elements.
    • Introduce controlled drips and splatters to mimic the natural chaos of the seashore.
    • Step back frequently to adjust tones and ensure balance in the composition.
  6. Review & Sign
    • Leave the painting to dry completely.
    • Once satisfied with your work, include your signature subtly in a corner of the piece.
