Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints: blue, green, white, black, and yellow
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Canvas
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water container
  • Paper towels

Preparation

  1. Review the Provided Image and Drawings: Begin by examining the source painting image and line drawings included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Familiarize yourself with the composition, colors, and style.
  2. Use the Grid (if included): If you’ve opted for the artist's grid version, use it to help place elements accurately. This is especially useful for ensuring the geometric shapes in the rocks are proportionate.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Layer:
    • Mix a light blue-green shade using blue, green, and a touch of white.
    • With a flat brush, paint the sky and farthest cliffs, maintaining soft transitions between colors.
  2. Middle Ground:
    • Use a more saturated blue and green mix for the middle cliffs. Apply with a flat brush, achieving defined shapes, and layering darker tones towards the base of the cliffs for depth.
  3. Waterfalls and Water:
    • Paint the waterfall using white mixed with a bit of blue for shadowed areas. Use a round brush for a soft, flowing effect.
    • The water pool should reflect the sky's colors—mix a vibrant turquoise by combining blue and green with more white.
  4. Foreground Cliffs:
    • Mix darker shades by adding black to blue and green. Use these for the prominent cliffs in the foreground.
    • Employ sharper brushstrokes with a flat brush to accentuate the geometric quality of the rocks.
  5. Details and Refinements:
    • With a detail brush, enhance the edges and shadows of the cliffs using darker mixes.
    • Add highlights to the water using pure white, focusing where the light naturally hits.
  6. Final Touches:
    • Step back and assess your painting. Add any necessary adjustments to contrast and color intensity. Use the color wheel included in your pack to ensure a balanced palette.
    • Allow your painting to dry completely.
