Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting of the Isle of Islay captures the scenic Scottish landscape with a blend of abstraction and realism. Rolling hills, tranquil waters, and distant mountains are rendered in harmonious shades of greens, blues, and earthy tones. The geometric shapes and fluid lines evoke a sense of movement and serenity, beautifully combining elements of Cubism with a natural aesthetic. The sky, with its layered clouds, complements the land’s vivid hues, while the small structures provide a touch of human presence amidst the vast natural beauty.

  4. Structures:
    • With a steady hand, paint the buildings using whites and grays, ensuring clean and precise edges.
    • Add shadows and details for a three-dimensional effect.
  5. Final Touches:
