Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Durness Beach captures the serene beauty of Scotland's northern coast. A large, soft sun dominates the sky, its gentle glow casting reflections on the tranquil sea below. The horizon stretches in hues of blue and green, merging seamlessly with the calm water. The abstract, geometric approach gives the scene a modern, minimalist twist, emphasizing broad shapes and a soothing color palette of soft blues, greens, and pale yellows. The interplay of light and color immerses the viewer in the peaceful essence of the landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic paints: white, light blue, turquoise, pale yellow, dark blue, and sea green.
Brushes: flat brushes in various sizes, small detail brush.
Canvas or painting surface provided in your pack.
A palette for mixing colors.
Water for cleaning brushes.
Paper towels or cloth.

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Set up your workspace with all the materials listed above. Make sure you have good lighting and a clean, flat surface to work on.

Step 2: Reviewing the Line Drawing and Grid

Use the line drawing and optional grid provided in your pack to understand the composition. The grid can help you accurately place each element of the painting.

Step 3: Sketch the Basic Shapes

Using a pencil, lightly sketch the main shapes onto your canvas, referring to the provided sketch. Focus on positioning the sun and horizon line first.

Step 4: Painting the Sky and Sun

Mix white with a touch of pale yellow for the sun. Use a flat brush to fill in the sun with smooth, even strokes.
For the sky, mix light blue with white to create a soft pastel tone. Apply around the sun, blending gently to create a luminous effect.

Step 5: Creating the Horizon

Mix sea green with a small amount of blue. Use this color to paint the distant landforms, keeping your strokes horizontal for a serene appearance.

Step 6: Painting the Water

Create a gradient by mixing various shades of blue and green. Begin at the horizon with lighter tones and gradually transition to darker shades as you move downwards.
Introduce the reflective elements on the water by leaving some areas lightly painted, achieving a subtle effect.

Step 7: Adding Details

With a small detail brush, refine the edges where the water meets the land and sky. Make sure the lines are clean and defined.
Add any additional reflections from the sun onto the water, using lighter tones of the surrounding colors.

Step 8: Final Touches

Once the paint is dry, step back and review your work. Add any additional layers or touch-ups needed to enhance depth and color balance.

Step 9: Seal the Painting (Optional)

If desired, apply a clear acrylic varnish to protect your painting once it is completely dry.

Enjoy the tranquil beauty of your completed Durness Beach painting—the perfect blend of nature and art!
