Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting brilliantly captures the serene beauty of Saltcoats Beach at sunset, portraying a harmonious blend of natural elements and human presence. The horizon is dominated by warm, fiery hues of orange and pink, gradually merging into softer blues and purples. The sun casts a shimmering path of golden light across the water, leading the eye to the two figures prominently silhouetted in the foreground, adding a touch of narrative and emotion. The distant mountains and the calm sea create a sense of depth and tranquility, reflecting a moment of peace and contemplation.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or painting paper
Acrylic or oil paints (as depicted in your colour wheel)
Brushes (small, medium, and large sizes)
Palette
Water (for acrylic) or thinner (for oil)
Paint rag or paper towels

1. Setting Up Your Canvas

Tools: Line drawing, artist's grid (optional).

Transfer the line drawing onto your canvas using either the grid method for accuracy or tracing if preferred.
Ensure the proportions and placements are correct, focusing on the horizon line and main figures.

2. Background and Sky

Colours: Warm oranges, pinks, purples, and blues.

Begin with the sky, using large brush strokes to apply oranges and pinks at the horizon, moving towards purples and blues higher up.
Blend smoothly to emulate the gradient seen at sunset.
Add warm highlights using a small brush to mimic light clouds.

3. Painting the Sun and Light Reflection

Colours: Bright yellows, whites.

Place the sun slightly off-center above the horizon with a small circular brush stroke.
Use a medium brush to create the path of shimmering light across the water, adjusting pressure for varying brightness.
Blend edges with surrounding water for a natural look.

4. Water and Distant Horizon

Colours: Light blues, purples, and reflections.

Paint the water with horizontal strokes using blues and purples, adding in reflections from the sky.
Use a small brush for delicate ripples and reflections, particularly near the horizon.

5. Background Mountains and Rocks

Colours: Dark blues, purples, and browns.

Add the distant mountains with darker blues and purples to maintain atmospheric perspective.
Introduce the rocky outcrops using darker shades to provide texture and contrast.

6. Foreground Figures and Rocks

Colours: Dark browns, blacks, and highlights.

Focus on the figures using dark silhouettes to contrast with their lighter backs facing the light.
Detail the rocks upon which they sit with dark, textured earth tones.
Add depth with shadows and highlights, emphasizing the curve of the forms.

7. Final Details and Touch-Ups

Refine any lines or areas needing definition, using the smallest brush for precision.
Review your colour palette to ensure balance and harmony throughout the piece.
Sign your painting once satisfied with the final result.

With patience and practice, your recreation of Saltcoats Beach will beautifully resonate with the original's tranquility and warmth.
