Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Lunan Bay, Scotland, captures the essence of a serene coastal landscape with a modern, abstract twist. The scene is defined by a harmonious blend of soft pastel hues and bold, striking colors. The sky is a clear, expansive blue with delicate white wisps representing fleeting clouds. The sandy beach is depicted with broad strokes, offering a sense of calm and openness. In the foreground, vibrant splashes of orange, pink, and turquoise enliven the canvas, suggesting energy and movement. The horizon features rugged hills, providing contrast with darker greens and blues, anchoring the composition. This painting embodies a balance between tranquillity and vibrancy, inviting the viewer into its seascape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or high-quality paper
  • Acrylic paints in blue, white, orange, pink, turquoise, green, and black
  • Brushes: flat, round, and fan
  • Palette knife
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Initial Setup

  1. Prepare your workspace: Ensure you have all materials ready and workspace protected.
  2. Select your support: Use a canvas or heavyweight paper that can handle acrylics.
  3. Review the provided resources: Familiarize yourself with the line drawings and the artist's grid to guide proportions and composition.

Sketching the Composition

  1. Grid Method (optional): Lightly sketch a grid on your canvas using the grid provided in your pack to aid in accurately placing elements.
  2. Outline the major features: Using a pencil, draw the horizon line, beach outline, and key shapes of rock formations and vibrant foreground swathes, using the line drawing as a reference.

Painting the Sky

  1. Base layer: Mix blue with a touch of white to create a sky blue. Use a flat brush for broad, smooth strokes over the top half of your canvas.
  2. Clouds: Mix a bit more white into your blue and lightly dab with a fan brush to create soft cloud forms. Less is more here.

Land and Sea

  1. Beach: Use a mix of white with a hint of pink or orange for the sandy area. Apply with a flat brush from the horizon line towards the foreground.
  2. Water: Use turquoise mixed with hints of blue and white for the water’s reflection. Employ a palette knife for texture and varied depth.
  3. Hills and Distant Landscape: Mix greens with darker shades by adding minimal black. Use a round brush to add shape and structure to the distant landscape.

Foreground Details

  1. Vibrant Foreground: Layer vivid orange and pink using a palette knife for texture. Incorporate turquoise and bits of green, allowing colors to blend dynamically.
  2. Texture and Depth: Use the edge of the palette knife to scratch in texture or drag paint across to create movement.

Final Touches

  1. Review and Adjust: Step back and assess the overall balance. Adjust colors and shapes as desired.
  2. Sign your artwork: Once satisfied, sign your piece subtly in a corner using a small brush.
  3. Clean Up: Clean brushes immediately to prevent acrylic paint from hardening.

Tips for Success: Embrace the abstract nature of this piece; allow your brushstrokes and palette knife movements to be expressive and fluid. Use the color wheel in your kit to explore harmonious color blends.
