Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Perth, Scotland captures a breathtaking panorama of the city at sunset, where fiery oranges, purples, and blues dance across the canvas. The spires of the churches stand tall against a backdrop of a vivid sky, where clouds are infused with the warm glow of the setting sun. The river Tay flows serenely through the composition, reflecting the sky’s vibrant hues. The architectural details of the city are bathed in a kaleidoscope of colors, merging realism with an impressionistic style. This artwork utilizes a dynamic palette, giving life to the cityscape with bold, expressive strokes.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

  • Gather your Paint-Your-Own Pack, which includes the source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and optional grid versions.
  • Prepare your workspace, ensuring you have good lighting and all necessary paints, brushes, and the provided color wheel.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Use the line drawing or grid version as a reference.
  2. Grid Method: If you’re using the grid, lightly draw the grid on your canvas. This will help you place key elements accurately.
  3. Sketch the outlines of major structures, such as the church spires, rooftops, and river.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Colors: Use a blend of oranges, yellows, and purples from the color wheel for the sky.
  2. Begin with the lightest color at the horizon and gradually blend into deeper shades as you move upwards.
  3. Add expressive brushstrokes to mimic the dynamic movement of the clouds.

Step 3: Define the Cityscape

  1. Buildings: Use deep blues and purples for the base of the buildings, then layer with warm oranges and reds.
  2. Details: Use smaller brushes for windows and architectural details, referencing the line drawings for accuracy.

Step 4: Add Greenery

  1. Mix varying shades of green for the trees and foliage.
  2. Apply loose, overlapping strokes to create texture and depth.

Step 5: Highlight and Reflect

  1. Add highlights to rooftops and spires using lighter tones to suggest the sun's glow.
  2. Paint the reflections in the river, using a mirror of the sky and city colors for a cohesive look.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Review the painting for any areas needing additional detail or highlights.
  2. Sign your artwork once satisfied with the final product.

Using the Color Wheel

Refer to the color wheel included in your pack to select and mix colors that match the original painting. Bold contrasts drive the visual impact, so don’t hesitate to use vibrant, saturated tones.
