Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

St Cyrus Beach is a stunning seascape that captures the raw beauty of the Scottish coastline. The painting portrays a tranquil yet dynamic scene with broad skies, softly muted ocean waves, and expansive sandy shores. The color palette harmoniously blends tones of soft pinks, earthy browns, and gentle greens, while crisp whites and deep blues accentuate the water and sky. The artistic style balances realism with impressionistic strokes, giving a sense of both detail and movement.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or prepared painting surface
  • Acrylic or oil paints in the included color palette
  • Paint brushes of various sizes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)
  • Rags or paper towels

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with ample lighting.
  2. Lay out your materials for easy access.
  3. Have your Paint-Your-Own Pack PDF with the line drawing, grid, and color wheel nearby.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

Line Drawing: Use the line drawing as a guide for sketching the basic layout of the scene onto your canvas. Start with light pencil marks to outline the major elements such as the beach, cliffs, waterline, and sky.

Grid Method: If you choose to use the grid, match the grids on the line drawing and your canvas to help with accurate placement of elements. This method ensures proportional accuracy.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Sky:
    • Mix light blue and grey to create the soft sky gradient.
    • Apply with broad horizontal strokes, allowing some areas to blend softly into others.
    • Touch up with whites for the clouds, blending them lightly into the background.
  2. Distant Hills:
    • Using earthy greens and rich browns, define the hill shapes along the horizon line.
    • Layer the colors to give a sense of depth and distance.
  3. Ocean Waves:
    • Mix deep blues with a touch of white to portray the subtle waves.
    • Use smaller strokes to capture the motion of the water.
    • Add highlight streaks with pure white to accentuate the wave crests.
  4. Beach and Sand:
    • Blend shades of soft pink and light browns for the sandy shore.
    • Apply broad strokes to show the expansive nature of the beach.
    • Incorporate subtle shadows with darker tones to suggest texture.
  5. Forefront Rocks:
    • Use deep black and dark red tones to shape the rocks.
    • Focus on strong, decisive strokes to convey solidity.
    • Highlight edges with contrasting lights to give definition.

Final Touches

  • Refer to the color wheel for any necessary color adjustments or enhancements.
  • Step back to review the overall balance and make any final tweaks.
  • Allow the painting to dry completely before handling.
