Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Shetland in Scotland captures the serene beauty of the rugged coastline with its striking cliffs and tranquil seas. The landscape is dominated by vibrant greens of the grass-covered cliffs, contrasting with the rich blues and turquoises of the ocean. A house perched precariously on a cliff adds a human element to this natural scene, encapsulating the harmony between human life and nature. The sky is a dynamic mix of soft whites and gentle blues, with hints of pink and orange reflecting the light of either dawn or dusk. The artist’s style is loose and expressive, employing broad, bold strokes that impart a sense of movement and energy.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Brushes of various sizes
Palette
Water container

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings serve as a guide for placing key elements in the composition accurately. Use the optional artist's grid for precise scaling onto your canvas by matching it with the corresponding grid on the reference image.

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Outline

Place your canvas in front of you and ensure you're in a comfortable position.
Lightly sketch the principal elements of the scene: the cliffs, house, and horizon line using the line drawings for reference.
Utilize the grid method for accuracy. Match each section of the grid to transfer the details correctly.

Step 2: Block in the Background

Using a broad brush, apply a wash of soft blues and whites to create a base for the sky.
Add subtle hints of pink and orange to mimic the sky's warm tones.
Ensure the paint is blended smoothly to mimic the softness of skies.

Step 3: Paint the Sea

Mix various shades of blue and turquoise from the color wheel provided.
Apply these colors using fluid strokes to capture the movement of the ocean.
Highlight with touches of white for the foamy waves near the cliffs.
Allow this layer to dry before adding more details.

Step 4: Develop the Cliffs and Land

Start with a base of green for the grassy areas using a medium brush.
Add layers of oranges and reds to the cliff faces, giving them depth.
Use darker tones for shadows, shaping the cliffs' rugged texture.
Blend where necessary to maintain a natural look.

Step 5: Add the House

Using a small brush, paint the house with precision for crisp lines.
Start with whites and grays for the walls, using the source image for shadows and highlights.
Paint the roof with complementary tones for added contrast.

Step 6: Final Touches

Review the painting for any areas needing refinement or additional color pops.
Add small details like grass texture or additional waves.
Use a finer brush for any final highlights and shadows.
Sign your painting once you're satisfied with your recreation!

With these steps, let your creativity flow to capture the breathtaking essence of Shetland as depicted in this vibrant painting.
