Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Durness Beach captures the serene beauty of Scotland's coastline with its expansive sandy shores, rolling waves, and rugged cliffs in the distance. The sky is a vibrant blue, dotted with wispy white clouds, seamlessly blending into the turquoise waves. The sand presents a kaleidoscope of pastels, with warm oranges and yellows intermingling with pinks and soft greens. The style is a harmonious blend of impressionism and abstract, with bold brushstrokes and a vivid color palette that invites viewers into this picturesque landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

1. Gather Your Materials

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Brushes of varying sizes (round and flat)
  • Palette with a range of colors as displayed on the color wheel
  • Water and clean cloths for brush cleaning
  • Paint-Your-Own Pack (PDF) including line drawings, sketches, and grid

2. Preparing Your Canvas

Using the Grid: Use the provided artist's grid to lightly sketch the outline onto your canvas. This will help maintain accurate proportions and composition.

3. Painting the Sky

  1. Base Layer: Use a large flat brush to apply a light blue base for the sky. Allow it to dry slightly.
  2. Clouds: With a round brush, gently dab white paint for the clouds, adding subtle shadow with a touch of grey for depth.
  3. Details: Add highlights with white and blend delicately for a soft, wispy look.

4. Creating the Sea

  1. Waves Base: Apply a smooth layer of turquoise across the middle section of the canvas for the sea.
  2. Wave Details: Use white to highlight the breaking waves near the shore, blending with the turquoise for a natural appearance.
  3. Rugged Cliffs: Mix darker blues and browns for the distant cliffs, using quick, decisive brushstrokes to capture their texture.

5. Painting the Beach

  1. Sand Base: Start with a light coat of yellow and pink for the sandy areas, using broad strokes.
  2. Pastel Mix: Add layers of orange, pale green, and peach using swirling motions to replicate the sand’s hues.
  3. Dry Brush Technique: Gently drag a dry brush to blend colors seamlessly.

6. Adding Foreground Details

  1. Rocks: Use a mix of grays and burgundy to paint the rocks and pebbles foreground, employing short, textured strokes for realism.
  2. Final Highlights: Add brighter highlights to the sand and rocks, capturing the sunlight’s play.

7. Final Touches

  • Review the painting: Step back occasionally to view the entire composition and make adjustments as needed.
  • Details and Corrections: Fine-tune your painting by adding small details using a fine-tip brush.
