Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine a tranquil Scottish landscape where the serene waters of Loch Faskally shimmer under a vibrant sky. This painting captures a lush scene with dynamic trees on the left, a forest embraced by autumn's warm hues on the right, and the gentle, reflective waters of the loch at the center. The colour palette bursts with lively greens, deep blues, and earthy oranges, echoing through a harmonious blend of contemporary and impressionistic styles. Tones shift beautifully from cool to warm, imbuing the scene with both freshness and coziness.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints (refer to the provided colour palette)
  • Brushes (various sizes - flat and round)
  • Canvas or thick painting paper
  • Palette for mixing colours
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Pencil for initial sketching

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional grid assist with accurately positioning elements in your painting. Use the grid version if you prefer a structured approach, ensuring each section aligns correctly with the guide image.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Begin by lightly transferring the line drawing onto your canvas using a pencil. If using the grid method, draw the grid on your canvas and reference the corresponding sections on the source image for accurate placement.
  2. Identify key areas: foreground vegetation, central lake, trees on either side, and the distant hills and sky.

Step 2: Underpainting

Start with a light wash of colours to establish the base tones of each section:

  • Sky: Lightly blend whites with hints of blue.
  • Mountains: Use cooler blues, adding depth with varying shades.
  • Water: Lay down base areas of light and medium blue.
  • Foreground and Trees: Apply light washes of green and brown.

Step 3: Build the Forms

  1. Foreground Vegetation: Use varied greens and yellows. Experiment with short, curved brush strokes to create texture.
  2. Trees on the Left: Blend darker greens with occasional highlights. Capture the rounded forms of the canopy.
  3. Forest on the Right: Mix greens with warm oranges and reds for the changing leaves. Create vertical strokes for tree trunks.

Step 4: Detail the Water

Focus on the loch's reflective quality:

  • Shadows: Introduce deeper blues and hints of purple beneath the trees and hills.
  • Highlights: Use light blue and white to depict ripples, creating energy and movement.

Step 5: Final Touches

  1. Add detailed strokes to the clouds, using soft whites and blues to enhance their fluffy texture.
  2. Deepen shadows under the trees and in the foliage to provide contrast and depth.
  3. Use fine brushes to add any intricate details within the vegetation and tree trunks.
  4. Step back and evaluate the overall balance, adjusting any areas as needed for harmony and completeness.

Step 6: Signature

Once satisfied, sign your painting with a fine brush for a personal touch.

With each stroke, reflect on the beauty and calm of Loch Faskally, bringing to life your unique rendition of this enchanting Scottish landscape.
