Painting Guide for Isle of Skye

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper

  • Brushes: A selection of flat, round, and detail brushes

Steps to Recreate the Painting

  1. Preparation:
    • Print out the source painting image and any line drawings or sketches provided in the Paint-Your-Own Pack.
    • Review the color wheel to familiarize yourself with the palette.
    • Decide whether to use the artists grid for composition accuracy, and if so, draw it lightly on your canvas.
  2. Background and Sky:
    • Start with the sky. Use broad, sweeping strokes to capture the swirling motion of the clouds, using various shades of blue and white.
    • Focus on the sun, using vibrant yellow and orange hues to create a radiant effect. Add circular motions to represent the dynamic swirl around it.
  3. Mountains:
    • Mix darker shades of blue, teal, and violet to create depth and contrast for the mountain range. Ensure the peaks are pointed and dramatic.
    • Highlight areas with lighter colors to add dimension and suggest sunlight hitting the mountains.
  4. Foreground Landscape:
    • Use the provided sketches to block out the river's path with cool blues and whites. Start broad and refine later.
    • Paint the surrounding landscape using rich reds, oranges, and earth tones, applying colors in patches to mimic the textured ground.
  5. Details and Texture:
    • Add rocks and boulders along the riverbanks with varying shades of grey and brown for realism.
    • Use the palette knife or detail brushes to add texture to the water and ground elements.
    • Refine details in the foreground, ensuring the painting maintains its dynamic, energetic feel.
  6. Final Touches:
    • Step back to assess your painting, adding any necessary highlights or shadows for contrast.
    • Consider adding small details like reflections or additional texture to enhance realism.

Using the Grid and Line Drawings

The artists grid can help accurately map out proportions and key elements of the painting. Use it as a guide to ensure that major lines and shapes align correctly, especially in complex areas like the mountains and river. The line drawings and sketches offer additional reference points for basic outlines and compositions, providing a solid framework to build upon with your colors and textures.
