Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Coldingham Bay, Scotland, as you recreate this captivating painting. The artwork captures a tranquil scene where the endless blue sky meets the vast expanse of the ocean, reflecting gentle hints of sunlight. The focal point of this masterpiece is the tender moment shared between two figures walking along the sandy beach, their reflections shimmering on the wet shoreline. The painting uses a palette of soft blues, warm sands, and touches of green and white, embodying a sense of calm and connection with nature. The artistic style is loose yet detailed, capturing the essence of the coastal landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

  • Set up your workspace with the Paint-Your-Own Pack materials: source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and artist grid.
  • Organize your paints according to the provided colour wheel. Note the most used colours for easy access.
  • Ensure you have brushes of various sizes, palettes, and clean water for rinsing.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawings: These serve as the foundation of your painting. Use them to identify key elements and shapes.

Artists Grid: This assists with proportion and placement. Align your canvas with the grid version to map out focal points accurately.

Painting Steps

  1. Sky and Background: Begin with the sky. Use broad, horizontal strokes of light blue with whites blended to mimic the soft clouds. Keep your brushwork loose to capture movement.
  2. Ocean and Distant Land: Gradually mix darker blues for the ocean, using horizontal strokes. Add hints of white for gentle waves. For the distant cliffs, incorporate darker greens and browns, maintaining a soft focus to suggest distance.
  3. Beach and Reflections: Apply light, sandy colors for the beach, adding depth with subtle browns. For reflections, lightly blend the colors of the figures into the wet sand, using vertical strokes to mimic their mirrored shapes.
  4. Main Figures: Focus on the figures walking. Begin with their outlines using darker tones. Fill in with a mix of blues and warm tones, capturing the light falling on them. Pay attention to their postures, ensuring they convey gentle movement and interaction.
  5. Details and Finishing Touches: Refine areas with smaller brushes. Add highlights where sunlight strikes, and incorporate texture with lighter shades in the sand and water. Review your painting for balance and harmony.

Final Steps

  • Allow your painting to dry thoroughly.
  • Step back and assess any areas that may need touch-ups or added detail.
  • Once satisfied, sign your artwork in a corner to complete your beautiful recreation of Coldingham Bay.
