Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints (colours based on provided palette)
  • Brushes (variety of sizes, including a flat brush, medium round brush, and detail brush)
  • Canvas
  • Palette for mixing colours
  • Water (for acrylics) or mineral spirits (for oils) for cleaning brushes

Initial Setup

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Arrange your materials in an easily accessible manner. Ensure you have good lighting.
  2. Review the Pack: Examine the source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and grid. Familiarize yourself with the composition and colours.
  3. Transfer the Drawing: Use the grid to accurately transfer the line drawing to your canvas. This will help maintain accurate composition.

Painting Process

  1. Block In Background:
    • Start with the sky. Use a large flat brush to apply the base colours - light blues at the top and warm creams towards the horizon.
    • Add in yellows and oranges around the setting sun to create a gradient effect.
  2. Define the Horizon and Mountains:
    • Mix purples with hints of blue for the mountains. Use your medium brush to create the soft, rolling silhouettes.
    • Layer lighter tones over the base colours for highlights and depth.
  3. Paint the Middle Ground:
    • Apply greens and yellows to depict the fields. Use bold strokes to add movement.
    • Add darker greens for trees and bushes using a detail brush.
  4. Render the Foreground:
    • Focus on the prominent tree. Use dark and light greens to create texture and definition.
    • Paint the river using blues, adding white highlights for reflections.
  5. Add Finishing Touches:
    • Refine details using a fine brush. Ensure contrasts between light and shadow are enhanced.
    • Review the overall balance of colours and make final adjustments as needed.

Final Steps

  1. Clean Up: Clean your brushes thoroughly and tidy your workspace.
  2. Dry and Varnish: Allow the painting to dry fully. Varnish if desired to preserve and enhance vibrancy.

Enjoy the beauty of your recreated Inverness landscape!
