Steall Falls is a breathtaking masterpiece that captures the majestic cascade of water flowing through a lush, mountainous landscape in Scotland. The painting showcases a palette of blues, greens, and earthy tones that evoke a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, highlighting the movement of water and the rugged texture of surrounding rocks. The artistic style combines realism with a touch of impressionism, allowing the viewer to feel immersed in this serene environment.

Begin by painting the sky using light blues and whites. Blend gently to create a soft, cloudy appearance, leaving the area where the mountains will be depicted.
Using blues and muted greens, add the distant mountains. Use the line drawing to ensure accurate placement and shape. Add hints of lighter colors to suggest sunlight on the peaks.
For the waterfall, use a combination of whites and light blues. Begin with the top, letting the colors cascade down. Use downward brushstrokes to mimic the flow of water.
Use a variety of greens and earthy tones to build the forest surrounding the waterfall. Pay attention to light and shadow, adding darker tones where the forest recedes and lighter ones where the light hits the leaves.
Mix grays, browns, and greens to paint the rocks. Use sharper brushstrokes to capture their rugged texture. For the stream, use light blues and whites, mimicking the reflective quality of water.
Review the painting for any areas that need refinement. Add finer details to the trees and foliage as needed. Enhance highlights and shadows to give the scene depth and vibrancy.
Once you're satisfied with your work, allow it to dry completely. Step back and admire the recreated beauty of Steall Falls, now brought to life through your artistic efforts!
