Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid version in your pack help with composition accuracy. Use the grid method to sketch the main layout on your canvas, ensuring that each section aligns with the corresponding part of your image. Use the lines to map out the river, mountains, and sky.

Painting Instructions

  1. Background Sky:
    • Start with the sky, using a wide flat brush to apply broad strokes of pastel peach, soft yellow, and hints of aqua.
    • Blend the colors smoothly, creating a gradient with lighter hues towards the top, emulating the soft light of the setting sun.
  2. Mountains:
    • Mix purples and deep blues for the mountains. Use a medium round brush to fill in the basic shapes, referring to your grid for placement.
    • Add depth by layering darker shades along the shadowed edges, using your color wheel for guidance.
  3. Fields and Riverbanks:
    • Switch to a small flat brush, painting the fields in vibrant greens and dabs of orange for contrast.
    • Add texture with short, varied brushstrokes to portray the rugged terrain.
  4. The River:
    • Use white with touches of aqua and turquoise for the water. Apply with fluid, sweeping strokes to mimic the river's flow.
    • Highlight certain areas by applying a lighter layer on top, giving the water a sense of motion and reflectivity.
  5. Details & Final Touches:
    • With a detail brush, emphasize the river’s rocky bed using deep grays and purples, accentuating their shadow and light areas.
    • Refine the mountains’ outlines and add subtle highlights where needed to enhance the three-dimensional feel.
    • Step back and review your work. Enhance areas where colors need more depth or blending for a cohesive finish.

Enjoy this artistic journey in recreating the captivating view of the Isle of Skye. The grid and sketches in your pack ensure each element is positioned to best capture the original piece's spirit. Happy painting!
