Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Lunan Bay, with its sweeping sands and dynamic skies, captures the essence of Scotland's rugged coastline. This painting showcases a vivid interplay of colors, from the deep purples and blues of the distant hills to the bright yellows and oranges of the setting sun. The thick, expressive brushstrokes create a sense of movement in the clouds and add texture to the tranquil water below. The foreground is rich with contrasting shades of green and violet, depicting the lush vegetation that outlines the beach's undulating sand dunes. The overall composition exudes a sense of serene beauty and dramatic natural grandeur, inviting the viewer into its harmonious yet dynamic scenery.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or heavy paper
  • Brush set (variety of sizes)
  • Acrylic or oil paints in the provided color palette
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water jar or solvent (depending on paint type)
  • Cloth or paper towels

Preparation

  1. Prepare your workspace with all necessary materials close at hand.
  2. Study the source painting image and familiarize yourself with the color wheel and palette.
  3. Use the grid version provided to understand the composition and proportions of the painting.

Using Line Drawings and Grids

Line Drawings: Use these to outline key elements like the hills, trees, and shoreline on your canvas. This will serve as your guide as you begin to apply paint.

Grids: Overlay the grid on the source image and lightly draw the corresponding grid lines on your canvas to ensure the elements are accurately placed.

Painting Process

  1. Background: Start with the sky by creating a gradient using light yellows and oranges transitioning to soft blues and purples. Use broad strokes for the clouds to capture their voluminous nature.
  2. Distant Hills: Blend various shades of blues and purples for the hills. Use sweeping horizontal brushstrokes to mimic their form.
  3. Water: Paint the water using a mix of blues and grays. Ensure the waves' highlights are captured with lighter shades to reflect the setting sun.
  4. Trees: Use darker blues and purples mixed with touches of green to create the silhouette of trees. Focus on angular, expressive strokes to depict their shadowed form.
  5. Foreground: Apply richer greens and violets to the vegetation and sand dunes. Use dabbing and varied strokes to convey texture and lushness.
  6. Final Touches: Adjust colors and details, refining the sky and water highlights to ensure they harmonize with the overall mood of the painting.

Finishing Up

  • Allow the painting to dry completely.
  • Remove any visible grid lines by lightly brushing over them with matching paint colors.
  • Sign your painting and step back to appreciate your recreation of Lunan Bay.

Enjoy your artistic journey and the serene beauty you’ve captured on canvas!
