Uploaded July 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Paint this seascape from the Isle of Skye using only 3 colours. Choose three primary colours from your palette and see how many colours you can mix from them; enough to paint this seascape - or anything you fancy!

This project is part of my season of art tutorials themed around the shoreline. These projects are for personal use only. Please do not sell any work copied exactly from my tutorials (though taking inspiration and developing it your own way is always encouraged!) and please credit me if you post work online that you've made from following a tutorial or using my downloadable line work.
