Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Longniddry Beach, a serene coastal landscape in Scotland, is beautifully captured in this painting. The scene is a harmonious blend of vibrant blues, serene purples, and warm yellows, depicting a lovely day by the sea. The gentle shore leads the eye to soft rolling hills and distant mountains. Flecks of light punctuate the landscape, while fluffy clouds float effortlessly in a clear sky, inviting a sense of tranquility and peace.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (use included color wheel for reference)
  • Brushes (variety of sizes)
  • Palette
  • Water and cloth for cleaning (if using acrylics)

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Set up your workspace with good lighting. Use the grid version provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack to lightly sketch the outline of the painting onto your canvas. This will aid in maintaining composition accuracy.

Step 2: Block in the Sky

Colors: Light blues, whites, and soft purples

  1. Begin with the broad expanse of the sky, mixing light blue and white to achieve the desired hue.
  2. Add texture to the clouds, letting some brushstrokes show through for a natural, fluffy effect.
  3. Incorporate soft purples for subtle shadows within the clouds.

Step 3: Paint the Ocean and Horizon

Colors: Deeper blues and greens

  1. Use the line drawing to position the horizon accurately. Begin applying deeper blues and greens for the ocean.
  2. Create horizontal strokes to mimic the water’s surface, blending towards the horizon for a sense of depth.

Step 4: Work on the Distant Hills and Mountains

Colors: Purples, blues, and warm yellows

  1. Mix purples with touches of blue to paint the distant hills. Let the colors overlap slightly for a cohesive look.
  2. Add highlights with warm yellows to suggest sunlight hitting the hillsides, enhancing the three-dimensionality.

Step 5: Capture the Beach and Foreground

Colors: Yellows, subdued greens, and purples

  1. Apply warm yellows to the sandy beach areas, using large brushes for broad strokes.
  2. Use subdued greens to represent grassy patches scattered on the landscape.
  3. Introduce purples in the foreground to contrast beautifully against the lighter beach tones.

Step 6: Add Details with Figures and Trees

Colors: Dark greens, blues, and hints of red

  1. Add small silhouettes of figures on the beach using blues and hints of red, referring to your line drawing for placement.
  2. Paint impressionistic trees with dark greens, adding depth and contrasting vibrancy.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

  • Step back and assess your painting for balance. Refine any areas needing improvement with smaller brushes.
  • Add final highlights or darks where necessary to enhance contrast and direct focus.
