Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Balmedie Beach captures the serene beauty of the Scottish coastline, featuring a harmonious blend of abstract geometric forms and soft gradients. The image showcases a calming palette of pastel blues, greens, and creams, complemented by a delicate touch of warm tones in the sky, creating a soothing ambiance. The rolling hills and distant horizon balance the composition, introducing depth and tranquility.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic paints in pastel blues, greens, creams, and warm tones (as indicated in your colour wheel)
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

  • Reference the line drawing to understand the basic composition. Focus on the position of the horizon line, beach, and abstract sections.
  • If precision is desired, use the optional artist grid to ensure the proportions and placements match the source painting.

Painting Instructions

  1. Background and Sky
    • Begin by painting the sky. Use a soft gradient, starting with the warm tones at the horizon and transitioning into cream as it rises.
    • Blend smoothly to create a seamless transition between colors, using horizontal strokes.
  2. Horizon Line
    • Next, define the horizon line using a dark blue-green mixture. This should be a straight, even line across the top one-third of your canvas.
  3. Water and Distant Hills
    • Use shades of blue and green to illustrate the water. Maintain a horizontal flow and blend lighter tones near the horizon to suggest depth.
    • Add the silhouette of the distant hills with muted dark tones, subtly incorporated into the water's edge.
  4. Beach and Foreground
    • In the foreground, paint the abstract geometric shapes that represent the beach. Use the included sketches to accurately depict each block in its respective location.
    • Experiment with different shades and tones within the provided pastel palette to add variety and depth to each block.
    • Pay attention to the shapes and lines to maintain the painting's abstract feel.
  5. Details and Texture
    • Once the main elements are painted, add subtle details. Use small brushes to enhance the edges and lines for a crisp finish.
    • Incorporate slight textures in the foreground by varying brush strokes and occasionally using a dry brush technique.

Final Touches

  • Review your painting and adjust colors or lines as necessary for balance.
  • Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying it.

Enjoy the process of creating your version of Balmedie Beach, and let your brushstrokes capture the tranquility and ethereal beauty of the coastal landscape!
