Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints (as per the included color wheel)
  • Canvas or thick paper
  • Fine, medium, and large brushes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Preparation

  1. Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure you have adequate lighting and a comfortable seating arrangement. Lay out all materials within easy reach.
  2. Examine the Source Image: Study the source painting included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack to understand the composition and color dynamics.

Using the Line Drawings/Grid

  1. Transfer the Outline: Use the provided line drawings to transfer the basic outline onto your canvas. If you are using the grid version, align the grid on the drawing with the grid on your canvas to accurately transfer key elements.
  2. Sketch Lightly: Pencil in the main outlines of the waterfalls, rocks, and distant hills. Keep lines light to ensure they are easy to cover with paint.

Painting Instructions

1. Background

  1. Sky: Start with a soft blue and gradually blend towards white at the horizon. Use a flat brush for smooth transitions.
  2. Distant Hills: Mix darker shades of blue-gray and apply around the horizon line to suggest depth and distance.

2. Midground

  1. Waterfalls and Pools: Use a range of blues and turquoise for the water. Begin with the pools and work upwards to the waterfalls, adding white highlights for foam and splashes.
  2. Surrounding Terrain: Apply earth tones such as ochres and siennas for the rocky outcrops. Use darker shades on shaded areas to create depth.

3. Foreground

  1. Rock Details: Define the shapes using a mix of light and dark shades, focusing on the curvature and texture of the rocks. Use smaller brushes to add intricate details.
  2. Finalize Water Effects: Add white highlights and reflective elements to the water for a realistic sparkling effect.

4. Finishing Touches

  1. Adjust Contrast and Highlights: Examine the painting from a distance and identify areas needing increased contrast or highlights.
  2. Refine Edges: Use fine brushes to clean up meeting lines between different elements of the painting for clarity and precision.
