Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

St Cyrus Beach in Scotland captivates with its bold, abstract representation, capturing the serene beauty of the coastal landscape. The vibrant, expressive use of color showcases a vivid blue sky and sea, contrasting with warm beach and land tones. The painting features a mix of smooth horizontal lines and bold, angular shapes, creating a sense of movement and stillness. The palette bursts with striking blues, warm yellows, reds, and soft pinks, reflecting the lively yet calm essence of the beach scene. The style is modern and abstract, using broad, sweeping strokes that invite the viewer into the tranquil yet dynamic coastal environment.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Brushes (flat and round)
  • Acrylic paints (refer to the color wheel in your pack)
  • Palette
  • Cup of water
  • Paper towel or cloth

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional grid are designed to help you accurately capture the composition of St Cyrus Beach. Start by lightly sketching the outlines onto your canvas using the grid version to maintain accurate proportions. This will serve as your guide for where to place color and detail.

Background and Sky

  1. Start with the Sky: Mix a bright blue using the paints recommended in your color wheel. Apply broad, horizontal strokes across the top of your canvas. Use a flat brush to achieve smooth transitions and maintain the abstract feel.
  2. Add Clouds: While the blue is still wet, blend in some white to create soft, horizontal clouds. Use varying pressure with your brush to create texture.
  3. Paint the Horizon: Use a darker blue for the sea on the horizon. The key is to maintain a sharp line for the horizon, which can be achieved with a steady hand and a flat brush.

Middle Ground - Beach and Shelter

  1. Beach and Water: Apply lighter, sandy tones at the beach area. Blend in subtle yellows and light browns to reflect light and add depth.
  2. Details of the Shelter: Use a small brush and a mix of greys and whites to paint the small house. Refer to your line drawing for placement and proportions.

Foreground

  1. Base Colors: Start with broad strokes of vibrant red and warm yellow near the foreground, using your flat brushes to layer bold colors. This will build up the abstract, geometric foreground.
  2. Add Dimension: Use variations of the warm colors to create depth, employing dynamic strokes to mirror the style in the source painting.
  3. Refinements: Finish by adding small touches and adjustments – like enhancing color contrast or sharpening edges – to increase clarity and vibrancy.

Final Touches

Review your work and compare it to the source image. Make any final adjustments, such as increasing color intensity or smoothing transitions. Clean your brushes and step back to admire your recreated view of St Cyrus Beach.
