Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Arisaig Beach in Scotland captivates with its serene, scenic beauty—a tranquil retreat where the sky meets the sea. This painting captures the vivid blues of the ocean contrasting with the pristine white sands. The dynamic clouds, hinting at a gentle breeze, blend seamlessly into soft yellows and blues of the horizon. Dotted in the foreground, wildflowers lend a vibrant splash of orange, yellow, and whites, adding a lively touch to the coastal landscape. The style is impressionistic, inviting you to lose yourself in the texture and color, evoking the natural charm and allure of the Scottish coast.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid are designed to assist with accurate placement and proportion of elements in the painting. Begin by lightly sketching the grid on your canvas, corresponding to the grid on the line drawing. Use these guides to help place the horizon, shoreline, rocks, and flowers accurately.

Step 1: Sky and Clouds

  1. Background Layer: Mix a gradient of blues for the sky, starting with a deeper blue at the top and gradually transitioning to a lighter blue near the horizon.
  2. Clouds: Use a mix of white with hints of gray and yellow for the clouds. Apply with swift, light strokes to create a wispy effect.
  3. Blending: Feather the edges of the clouds into the sky using a soft brush or sponge for a natural, airy appearance.

Step 2: Ocean

  1. Base Color: Use varying shades of blue, from deep ocean blue to lighter aquas, applied in horizontal strokes to mimic water's texture.
  2. Details: Add highlights and waves with a lighter blue or white.

Step 3: Horizon and Distant Landscape

  1. Background Hills: Add the distant land with muted greens and browns.
  2. Detailing: For the far-off dimension, use a smaller brush to subtly define any forms.

Step 4: Sand and Foreground

  1. Base Color: Paint the sand in light creams and soft browns.
  2. Rocks and Details: Introduce gray and brown to define rocks and textures with darker shadows underneath for depth.

Step 5: Flowers and Vegetation

  1. Stems and Leaves: Use various greens for the reeds and grasses, adjusting the shades to show depth.
  2. Flowers: Apply vibrant oranges, yellows, and whites for the flowers using confident, brisk strokes to keep them lively.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Highlights and Shadows: Enhance the painting’s depth by refining highlights and shadows where needed.
  2. Texture and Details: Add any additional textures or details, such as small wave caps or more intricate flower shapes.
  3. Review: Step back and look at the painting as a whole. Adjust any areas that need refinement.
