Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine standing at the serene Coldingham Bay in Scotland, where the expansive sky meets the gentle waves of the azure sea. The painting captures a tranquil moment, featuring the vastness of the bright blue sky adorned with fluffy white clouds. The emerald green cliffs rise majestically in the backdrop, contrasting beautifully with the rich sandy tones of the beach. In the foreground, a gentle scene unfolds with two figures walking along the shore, their reflections shimmering on the wet sand. The use of vibrant blues and greens, warm earth tones, and soft whites lends the painting a vivid yet soothing atmosphere.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic or oil paints matching the provided color palette
Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
Canvas or art paper
Palette for mixing colors
Water and cloth for cleaning brushes (if using acrylics)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

You can use the provided line drawings to trace the composition onto your canvas. If you'd like to improve accuracy, utilize the optional artist's grid. Align the grid on your canvas with the grid on the reference image, and draw the key elements into each grid section.

Painting Steps

Sky and Clouds:
- Start with the sky. Mix a light blue for the top part of the sky, gradually adding white as you move downward to create a gradient.
- For the clouds, use a mix of white with a hint of gray or blue for shadows. Use a soft, round brush to dab and blend the clouds into the sky.
Sea and Horizon:
- Paint the sea with a mixture of blues, making it slightly darker at the horizon and lighter as you come forward.
- Use horizontal brush strokes to mimic the movement of the water.
- Add white highlights to represent the glistening waves.
Cliffs:
- Use deep greens mixed with browns and blacks for the shadowed areas of the cliffs.
- Highlight the top of the cliffs with lighter greens to show where sunlight hits.
Beach and Reflections:
- Paint the sandy area with light beige and hints of brown. Add soft strokes of pinks and blues to depict reflections.
- For wet sand, use a slightly darker tone and blend in the colors of the figures above.
Figures:
- Use the line drawings as a guide to position the figures on the beach.
- For the larger figure, use whites and light blues for clothing, and introduce skin tones for the body.
- For the smaller figure, adjust clothing colors to reds and greens as shown in your reference material.

Final Touches

Add any additional details or highlights to the water to enhance its appearance.
Check the balance of light and shadow across the painting and adjust accordingly.

Enjoy the process and take time to appreciate the serene beauty of Coldingham Bay as you bring this scene to life on your canvas.
