Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Calgary Bay, Scotland, captured through bold abstraction and vivid contrasts. This painting harmonizes the cool blues of the sea and sky with the warm, inviting yellows and greens of the lush coastal landscape. The composition features sweeping lines and dynamic angles that lead the viewer's eye through the scene, inviting a deeper connection to the rugged coastline and tranquil water. The artistic style is modern and abstract, emphasizing form and color over realistic detail, offering a fresh perspective on this stunning Scottish vista.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or thick paper
  • Acrylic paints
  • Brushes: flat, round, and filbert
  • Pencil
  • Palette
  • Water cup and paper towels
  • Source Painting Image
  • Line Drawings, Sketches, and Artists Grid (from Paint-Your-Own Pack)

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Ensure you have your canvas set up and all the materials ready. Review the source painting image and the line drawings to familiarize yourself with the composition.

Step 2: Sketch the Outline

Using the provided line drawings, lightly sketch the major shapes and outlines onto your canvas. Alternatively, use the artist's grid to help maintain composition accuracy. The grid will guide you in positioning key elements correctly.

Step 3: Establish the Sky and Sea

  1. Mixing Colors: Use the included color wheel to create varying shades of blue. Start with lighter blues for the sky and deeper blues for the sea.
  2. Painting Technique: Apply broad, horizontal strokes. Blend the blues gradually, leaving some areas more opaque to suggest movement and depth.

Step 4: Add the Coastal Hills

  1. Mix different shades of greens and yellows to match the palette shown in your pack.
  2. Use the flat brush to block in the shapes of the hills, applying the paint with sweeping, diagonal strokes.
  3. Add deeper green and hints of orange for the shadows and highlights, enhancing the sunlight's interplay on the hillsides.

Step 5: Introduce Foreground Details

  1. Use darker blues and greens along with some black to add depth to the foreground, emphasizing contrast.
  2. Incorporate more vibrant oranges and yellows for pops of color, bringing warmth and energy to the lower part of the painting.
  3. Engage in playful, abstract strokes, allowing the colors to blend loosely and organically in some areas.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

  • Refinement: Add any necessary details to balance the composition, such as small lines or accent colors using a smaller round brush.
  • Texture: Consider using a palette knife to add physical texture for more interest.
  • Final Adjustments: Step back to view your work and make any additional tweaks to color and contrast for a cohesive finish.

Step 7: Sign and Display

Once you’re satisfied with your painting, let it dry fully. Sign your work and find a special place to display your captivating view of Calgary Bay, a testament to your artistic journey!
