Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine gazing out over the pristine shores of Scarista Beach in Scotland, where the vast expanse of clear azure sky meets a glistening sea of emerald and sapphire hues. The rolling waves cascade gently onto the sandy shore, creating a rhythmic dance of white foam against golden sands. Distant hills are brushed with a muted green, adding depth and contrast to the serenity of the scene. This painting captures the calming yet invigorating essence of one of Scotland’s most stunning coastlines, utilizing a harmonious palette of blues, greens, yellows, and soft whites in a style that balances realism with impressionistic flair.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or thick paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (as per the included colour wheel)
  • Paintbrushes (large flat, medium round, fine detail)
  • Palette knife
  • Optional: Artist's grid tool or printed grid overlay

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Use the included line drawing to lightly sketch the composition onto your canvas.

  • If using the grid version: Align your canvas grid with the reference grid to ensure composition accuracy.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Mix shades of blue from the palette, starting with lighter shades at the top of your canvas.
  2. Apply using a large flat brush, blending smoothly to capture the gradient of the sky.
  3. Add hints of white to create cloud formations, highlighting with a dabbing technique.

Step 3: Define the Hills

  1. Using the green palette options, paint the distant hills with soft, muted strokes to convey distance.
  2. Enhance depth by adding touches of darker greens and blues for shadow areas.

Step 4: Paint the Sea

  1. Create a gradient of blues and greens for the ocean, starting from the shoreline with lighter shades.
  2. Use horizontal brush strokes to mimic the movement of waves.
  3. Apply white paint using a fine brush to depict the frothy crests of the waves.

Step 5: Develop the Beach

  1. Paint the sandy shore with a softened yellow and beige palette, blending for smoothness.
  2. Add details using a medium round brush to illustrate subtle textures of the sand.
  3. Use a palette knife for suggesting rocky areas, applying darker tones for shadowing.

Step 6: Add Final Details

  1. Refine any stray elements ensuring a cohesive look throughout the painting.
  2. Add more white or blue highlights to the sea and sky if needed, maintaining balance.

Step 7: Review and Adjust

Stand back and assess your painting. Make minor touch-ups, focusing on harmonizing colours and ensuring the mood of Scarista Beach is captured fully.
