Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Coldingham Bay in Scotland captures the serene beauty of a tranquil beach scene. A father and child walk hand in hand along the sandy shore, their reflections gently mirroring in the wet sand. The expansive sky is a vibrant blue, dotted with wispy clouds that suggest a peaceful, breezy day. The distant headland and calm sea complete the tranquil composition. The artist employs a soft color palette with various shades of blue, cream, and gentle earth tones, enriching the scene with both warmth and calm. The style is impressionistic, with broad, sweeping brushstrokes adding texture and movement.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

Ensure you have the Paint-Your-Own Pack ready, including the source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and artist grid versions.
Familiarize yourself with the color wheel in the pack to understand the palette.
Set up your workspace with paints, brushes, canvas, and a palette for mixing colors.

Step 1: Sketching the Outline

Using the Line Drawings:

Begin by using the included line drawings as a reference. Lightly sketch the basic outlines onto your canvas with a pencil.
Focus on capturing the main elements: the shoreline, the figures, and the horizon.

Utilizing the Grid Version:

If you prefer, use the grid version for composition accuracy. Mark corresponding grid lines on your canvas to assist with proportions.
Ensure alignment of critical elements such as the figure positions and horizon line.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

Mix a base color for the sky using white and a touch of blue. Apply with a large brush in broad, horizontal strokes.
Add depth by varying the blue shades, introducing small amounts of white to create cloud formations.
Blend edges softly to emulate the wispy appearance of clouds.

Step 3: Crafting the Sea and Shoreline

For the sea, mix darker shades of blue and create gentle horizontal strokes to represent waves. Use lighter hues to add highlights.
Paint the distant headland with diluted earth tones to maintain the atmospheric perspective.
Transition to the shoreline using warmer tones, such as sandy yellows and browns. Apply quick, light strokes to represent the wet sand reflections.

Step 4: Adding the Figures

Use a smaller brush for precision. Begin with the basic clothing colors—mix whites and light blues for the shirts, and dark browns for the shorts.
Add shadows and highlights to give volume and life to the figures.
Ensure the reflections on the wet sand match the colors and shapes of the feet.

Step 5: Final Touches

Review the painting as a whole, making any necessary adjustments to balance colors and composition.
Add fine details where needed, but avoid overworking to retain the painting’s impressionistic style.

Conclusion: Once satisfied, set your painting aside to dry. Reflect on your work and admire the serene beauty of Coldingham Bay you have recreated.
