Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Traigh Mhor in Scotland is a breathtaking scene captured during a serene sunset. The tranquil beach is bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun, with shades of orange, peach, and soft yellows dominating the sky. The reflection of the sun creates a luminous path across the water, blending with the cool blues and greys of the sea. The distant hills form a gentle silhouette, adding depth and contrast to the vibrant sky. This painting is both calming and invigorating, with a balance of soft colors and bold contrasts.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed:

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Paintbrushes of various sizes
  • Acrylic paint or oil paint matching the included color wheel
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water (for acrylics) or paint thinner (for oils)
  • Paper towels or rags
  • Palette knife (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Set up your workspace with good lighting.
  2. Review the source painting image and observe the color transitions and composition.
  3. Choose your canvas size and decide whether to use the artist's grid or the line drawing for guidance.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid:

The line drawings offer a simplified version of the painting's composition. Use these as a tracing guide or to sketch directly onto your canvas. The grid version helps maintain accuracy in the placement of key elements by dividing the painting into manageable sections.

Painting Steps:

1. Sky Background:

  1. Begin by applying a light wash of peach and orange across the sky area, blending softly to create a gradient effect.
  2. Add the soft, diffused clouds using a mix of white and soft yellow, allowing them to blend naturally into the background colors.

2. Distant Hills:

  1. Mix a deep grey-blue and paint the distant hills, ensuring they are darker towards the top and gradually lighter as they approach the waterline.
  2. Use a fine brush to create smooth edges along the top of the hills.

3. Sun and Reflections:

  1. Paint the sun as a solid, glowing circle using pure white to ensure it stands out against the sky.
  2. Create the sun’s reflection on the water using streaks of white mixed with soft yellows, extending downwards.

4. Water and Shoreline:

  1. Apply shades of blue and green for the water, blending lightly with the sun’s reflection.
  2. Add soft curves and gradients to mimic gentle waves.

5. Foreground and Rocks:

  1. Use a mix of greys, dark blues, and browns for the rocks and shoreline, ensuring shadows and highlights are well-blended for texture.
  2. Add a touch of orange and peach to the shoreline to reflect the sunset hues.

6. Final Touches:

  1. Adjust highlights and shadows to enhance depth where necessary.
  2. Step back and view your painting from a distance for balance.
  3. Allow the painting to dry completely.

Recreate Traigh Mhor’s stunning sunset by following these steps, and enjoy the process of bringing a piece of Scotland’s beauty into your home.
