Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Balmedie Beach captures the serene and expansive beauty of the Scottish coastline at sunset. The sky is infused with warm, golden hues transitioning into deeper blues and purples at the horizon. A bold sun sits low, casting reflections across the wet sand, where soft gradients of pinks and purples create a dreamy atmosphere. Two small figures walk along the beach, adding a sense of scale and life to the tranquil setting. The painting’s style is modern and abstract, utilizing broad, confident brushstrokes that lend a sense of movement and immediacy to the landscape. The color palette is vibrant and striking, with harmonious contrasts that bring energy to the serene scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or painting surface
Paints matching the color palette (refer to the color wheel)
Brushes of various sizes
Pencil or charcoal for sketching
Palette for mixing colors
Ruler or grid line tool (optional)

Preparation

Set up your workspace: Make sure your canvas is at eye level, and your materials are within reach.
Review the source images: Study the source painting and line drawings provided in your PDF pack to familiarize yourself with the composition and color use.
Optional grid setup: If using the grid version, lightly draw the grid on your canvas to help place key elements accurately.

Sketching the Composition

Outline the horizon line: Start by sketching a light line where the ocean meets the sky, roughly one-third from the top.
Draw the cliff and distant landscape: Use the line drawings as a guide to sketch the land on the left, noting its jagged shape.
Add figures: Position the two small figures on the beach, keeping them proportionate to the landscape.

Painting the Sky

Base layer: Apply an even, warm orange across the upper sky area using a wide brush.
Add depth: Gradually blend deeper oranges and soft purples towards the horizon using horizontal strokes.
Detail the sun: Paint a bright white or pale yellow circle for the sun, adding light reflections with softer yellow around it.

Creating the Ocean and Beach

Ocean background: Use deep blues and purples at the horizon, blending lighter blues as you move down.
Wet sand reflections: Mix soft creams and light pinks to capture the reflective sand. Apply these in horizontal strokes to mimic the wet surface.

Adding Foreground and Details

Foreground colors: Layer bold pinks and purples in the lower section, varying tones to create depth.
Detail the figures: Use small brushes to add the walking figures, utilizing contrasting colors for visibility.
Final touches: Add highlights and shadows where necessary to bring depth and realism.

Final Review and Adjustments

Step back: Frequently view the painting from a distance to gauge overall composition.
Adjust colors and details: Compare with the source image and make any needed adjustments.
Let dry and evaluate: Allow your painting to fully dry before making any additional changes.

Congratulations on completing your painting of Balmedie Beach! Enjoy the vibrant and serene landscape you've recreated.
