  • Acrylic paints (as per the included color palette)
  • Brushes - small detail brush, medium round brush, large flat brush
  • Palette for mixing colors

Using the Line Drawings & Grid

Painting Instructions

  1. Background Sky:
    • Mix light blues and greys to create the swirling clouds.
    • Use a large flat brush to paint the upper background, blending these colors to achieve the desired swirling effect.
  2. Mountain Silhouettes:
    • Use dark blues and purples.
    • With a medium round brush, paint the mountains, focusing on the contrast with the sky.
  3. Highland Grasses:
    • Mix greens with a hint of yellow for the rolling grass-covered hills.
    • Paint these areas with a sweeping motion to capture the natural curves and flow.
  4. Flowing River:
    • For the water, use various shades of blue and white.
    • Begin with a medium round brush to add broad layers, then switch to a small detail brush for highlights and water details.
  5. Foreground Rocks and Vegetation:
    • Use greys, blues, and greens to paint the rocky surfaces and vegetation.
    • Apply the paint using a stippling technique with a small brush to achieve texture.
  6. Final Touches:
    • Add details to rocks and river using light and dark lines to enhance depth.
    • Adjust highlights and shadows throughout for added realism and contrast.

Additional Tips

  • Review the source painting image for color accuracy and composition alignment.
  • Use the color wheel to explore different combinations and ensure your palette remains cohesive.
  • Let each layer dry before adding more detail to prevent colors from blending unintentionally.

With patience and care, your painting will transform into a stunning recreation of the Isle of Skye’s magnificent beauty!
