Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Sandwood Bay in Scotland is a mesmerizing landscape painting capturing the stunning beauty of a wild and untouched coastline. The painting features sweeping views of the bay, framed by dramatic cliffs bathed in soft pinks and rich purples, with hints of orange adding warmth. The turquoise sea gently laps against the shoreline, reflecting the clear azure sky above. Broad, expressive brush strokes create an impressionistic feel, emphasizing movement and the natural flow of the landscape. The color palette, a harmonious blend of cool blues and vibrant earth tones, brings the scene to life, evoking a sense of peace and awe at nature’s raw beauty.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper (as provided in your pack)
  • Acrylic or oil paints in the colors shown on your color wheel
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water jar (if using acrylics)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings in your pack serve as a sketch outline, showing the main shapes and features of the painting. The grid version can help you accurately position elements, making sure everything is in proportion.

  1. Preparation: Secure your canvas. Use the grid system to lightly sketch the main elements onto your canvas, referring to the grid version of the line drawing.
  2. Sky and Cliffs:
    • Begin with the sky, using soft blues and whites to create a light, airy feel. Blend smoothly for a seamless gradient.
    • For the cliffs, layer purples, pinks, and oranges, using broad strokes for texture. Focus on the play of light, creating depth with darker shades for shadows.
  3. Sea:
    • Paint the sea using turquoise and deep blue. Use long horizontal strokes to suggest the smooth surface of the water.
    • Add white highlights for gentle waves, ensuring a sense of movement.
  4. Beach:
    • Apply vibrant earth tones with broader strokes to the sandy areas, using pinks and light oranges for highlights.
    • Incorporate darker shades where the sand meets the water, hinting at wetness and reflections.
  5. Details and Refinements:
    • Add rock formations with dark tones, using your detail brush to emphasize edges and shadows.
    • Refine the transition areas where different colors meet, smoothing any harsh lines for a cohesive look.
    • Make final adjustments, enhancing contrasts and highlights to ensure the painting captures the dynamic and inviting essence of Sandwood Bay.
  6. Finishing Touches: Step back and assess your work. Add any final details or corrections, focusing on composition balance and color harmony.

Take your time with each step, and don’t hesitate to refer back to the line drawings and the color wheel for guidance. Enjoy the process of bringing this stunning scene to life on your canvas!
