Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Plodda Falls captures the breathtaking essence of Scotland's natural beauty with a vibrant explosion of color and movement. Set against a clear blue sky with a full moon, the cascading water shimmers with hues of yellow, orange, and white, intertwining seamlessly with the lush forest surrounding it. Rich autumnal colors of red and orange contrast with deep greens and blues, while rugged rocks add a touch of realism and texture to the scene. This artwork embodies a modern impressionistic style, infused with a bold color palette that evokes the dynamic energy of the waterfall amidst the serene landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas
  • Acrylic or oil paints (use the provided color palette)
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • Palette
  • Water cup (if using acrylics)
  • Easel (optional)
  • Rag or paper towel

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

  1. Set up your workspace with a comfortable view of the provided source painting image.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of gesso to your canvas if it’s not pre-primed. Allow it to dry completely.

Step 2: Using the Grid and Line Drawings

  1. Begin by placing the line drawing or grid version over your canvas.
  2. Grid Technique: Use the grid to accurately transfer the composition to your canvas, marking key points lightly in pencil.
  3. Line Drawing Technique: Follow the outlines provided to sketch the primary shapes and forms of the waterfall, rocks, and foliage.

Step 3: Painting the Sky and Moon

  1. Mix a clear, vibrant blue and cover the sky area, leaving space for the moon.
  2. Use white to paint the moon, ensuring it’s bold and defined against the blue background.
  3. Blend softly around the edges of the moon to create a subtle glow effect.

Step 4: Waterfall and Rocks

  1. Begin with the waterfall by layering strokes of white with hints of yellow and orange, mimicking the flow and movement of water.
  2. Add depth with darker shades at the base, blending smoothly upwards.
  3. For the rocks, use shades of gray, highlighting with lighter tones where the light hits.
  4. Ensure you maintain the shape and position of rocks as per the line drawing.

Step 5: Painting the Foliage

  1. Use the provided color wheel to select vibrant reds, oranges, and greens for the trees and shrubs.
  2. Apply the colors using a dabbing technique to create texture and layers.
  3. Blend these hues subtly, capturing the rich autumnal essence surrounding the waterfall.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Review the painting from a distance, checking for balance and harmony in color and composition.
  2. Add any finishing details to enhance contrast and brightness where needed, particularly around the water and foliage.
  3. Allow your artwork to dry thoroughly before framing or displaying.
