Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Durness Beach in Scotland is beautifully captured in this painting, characterized by sweeping curves of pastel greens and blues that evoke the sense of gentle waves washing over the sands. The composition is anchored by two dark, abstracted landforms that frame a luminous, warm-toned sky. The minimalist style highlights clean lines and smooth gradients of color, creating a serene and harmonious landscape that captures the tranquil essence of a coastal paradise.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Your Paint-Your-Own Pack, which includes a source painting image, line drawings, and optional artist's grid.
  • Acrylic paints as per the included color wheel.
  • Brushes: flat and round sizes.
  • Palette for mixing colors.
  • Canvas or painting surface.

Setting Up

  1. Prepare Your Work Area: Ensure you have a clean and well-lit workspace. Gather all your materials before you begin.
  2. Unpack Your Kit: Lay out the Paint-Your-Own Pack materials, paying particular attention to the line drawings and color palette.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid version are designed to help you with composition and proportion. Place the grid over your canvas if desired, aligning it with the same grid on your reference image.

Painting Process

  1. Underpainting: Begin by using a thin wash of light blue over your entire canvas as an underpainting to unify the surface.
  2. Sketch the Composition: Lightly sketch the key elements using the line drawing as a guide. Use a soft pencil or light paint to ensure it won’t show through.
  3. Sky:
    • Using a wide flat brush, apply horizontal bands of soft yellows and warm whites. Blend them smoothly to create a gradient that mimics the source image.
  4. Landforms:
    • Mix a dark teal using your color wheel. Paint the two abstracted landmasses on either side of the composition. Use a flat brush for clean lines.
    • Ensure sharp edges where the land meets the sky.
  5. Beaches and Ocean:
    • With a round brush, paint the sweeping curves of the beach using a combination of pastel green hues.
    • Layer the colors to create subtle depth and movement, referring to your source image for accuracy.
  6. Details and Touch-ups:
    • Refine the edges between colors and shapes using smaller brushes as needed.
    • Add final touches to the curves in the sand, emphasizing the simple yet dynamic flow of the composition.
  7. Final Review: Step back and review your painting. Compare it to the source image and adjust areas that need refinement.

Finishing Touches

Allow your painting to dry completely. Once dry, consider applying a varnish to unify the sheen and protect your artwork.
