Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Ben Macdui, Scotland's serene giant, is majestically portrayed in this vibrant landscape painting. The rolling hills and valleys sweep across the canvas, painted in vivid greens, purples, and blues, creating a captivating natural tapestry. The undulating forms are defined with expressive contours, capturing the essence of the terrain against a dynamic sky swirling with colors. This painting encapsulates a rhythmic harmony of nature’s elements, utilizing a bold palette that resonates with visual energy and artistic flair.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Review the included colour wheel to familiarize yourself with the palette.
Set up your workspace with paints, brushes, canvas, and the provided line drawing or artist’s grid.

Step 2: Start with the Composition

Grid Method: Use the optional artist's grid to outline key landscape elements accurately on your canvas. Align your grid and sketch out the major forms of the hills, valleys, and sky.
Line Drawing: Alternatively, use the line drawing to transfer the main shapes onto your canvas, ensuring the proportions are correctly matched to the original source image.

Step 3: Paint the Sky

Begin with the sky using a range of blues and purples. Apply broad, sweeping brushstrokes to suggest movement and depth in the clouds.
Mix lighter tones with white to create highlights, mimicking the dynamic contrast visible in the original.

Step 4: Define the Mountains

Layer in the distant mountains using deep blue tones, blending slightly to achieve a sense of atmospheric perspective.
Use the line drawing to emphasize the rugged contours and ridges.
Apply purples for shading and depth, highlighting the right side for dimension.

Step 5: Paint the Hills and Valleys

Sweep on verdant greens for the foreground hills and valleys, using the colour palette for guidance on mixing a variety of green hues.
Add dark blue and purple accents to areas of shadow, enhancing the rolling textures.
Blend lighter greens and yellows towards the light source to simulate sunlight.

Step 6: Add Foreground Details

Incorporate the purple thistles and grasses in the foreground with quick, confident strokes, capturing their lush forms and vibrant colors.
Use lighter tones for highlights and add dark lines for definition.

Step 7: Final Touches

Check all areas for balance in color and detail; adjust any sections that need refinement.
Step back and view your painting from a distance to identify any final adjustments.

Embrace the artistic journey and your unique interpretation of Ben Macdui's majestic landscape.
