Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of St Cyrus Beach captures the allure of Scotland's coastline with its sweeping sky and tranquil sea. The expansive blue sky is punctuated by dynamic white clouds that dance across the canvas. Vibrant greens of the coastal hills contrast with the soft, pastel hues of the sand. The ocean is a deep, captivating blue, meeting the horizon in a seamless blend. Small figures animate the shoreline, adding a human touch to the serene landscape. The color palette is both bold and soothing, with an impressionistic style that emphasizes movement and light.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Grid: Use the optional grid version to ensure proportions and placement are accurate, matching the grid squares in the PDF to those on your canvas.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Sky:
    • Mix a base blue for the sky, slightly lighter towards the horizon.
    • Apply broad strokes using a large brush for a smooth gradient.
    • Using white, add dynamic swirls for clouds, blending softly into the blue.
  2. Coastal Hills:
    • Mix greens using various combinations to capture the lush, rolling landscape.
    • Apply with a medium brush, following the gentle curves and contours of the hills.
    • Accent with darker tones for shadows, and lighter greens for highlights.
  3. Ocean:
    • Create a range of blue hues, darker near the horizon and lighter towards the shore.
    • Use horizontal strokes to convey the surface of the water.
    • Introduce white highlights for waves and sea foam.
  4. Beach and Figures:
    • Use soft pastels for the sand, blending pinks, oranges, and whites.
    • Paint small silhouettes of people using dark paints for their forms against the lighter background.
    • Focus on capturing movement and interaction to maintain the lively feel.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Refine cloud shapes with a slightly wet brush to blend edges smoothly.
    • Enhance any highlights or shadows that need more contrast.
    • Step back frequently to view your painting as a whole, making adjustments as needed.
