Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic or oil paints in the provided color palette
  • Brushes of various sizes (flat, round, and detail)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cleaning supplies for brushes (if using acrylics)
  • Optional: Artists grid overlay for accuracy

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The line drawings included in your pack offer a simplified outline of the painting’s key elements. Use the grid version to assist in accurately placing major elements on your canvas. This will help maintain the correct proportions and perspectives.

  1. Setup and Initial Sketch:
    • Begin by setting up your canvas and organizing your materials.
    • Lightly sketch the main outlines onto your canvas using the line drawing as a reference. Use the grid method if you wish to ensure greater accuracy.
  2. Background Painting:
    • Start with the sky, using a larger flat brush to blend shades of warm yellows, oranges, and soft purples from your color palette.
    • Paint the distant mountains with cooler, muted tones to provide depth and a sense of distance.
  3. Mid-ground Details:
    • Focus on the rocky terrain surrounding the waterfall. Use a mix of earthy browns and greens, with attention to the lighting effect from the sunset.
    • Use a textured brush stroke to depict roughness and diversity in the rocky surfaces.
  4. Waterfall and Pool:
    • For the cascading water, use a lighter palette, incorporating whites and pale blues. Apply with a fluid motion to capture the movement.
    • Use smaller brushes to detail the water ripples and reflections in the pool. Consider the sky’s colors reflecting in the water.
  5. Foreground and Final Details:
    • Add finishing touches to the foreground rocks, employing slightly darker and richer colors for contrast.
    • Use a fine brush to highlight edges and add subtle details to enhance realism.
  6. Review and Adjust:
    • Step back and review your painting for any areas that need adjustment.
    • Make any additional tweaks to color balance and detail to achieve your desired effect.

Remember to enjoy the process and allow your own style to come through in your painting. Use the provided color wheel to help mix and match the palette, ensuring consistency with the original artwork.
