The artistic style is a blend of realism and impressionism, emphasizing bold colors and sweeping brushwork to evoke the natural grandeur of the landscape.

Painting Guide for Shetland Landscape

Materials Needed

Acrylic or oil paints (depending on preference)
Brushes of various sizes (round and flat)
Canvas
Pencil for sketching
Palette for mixing colors
Water and cloth for cleaning brushes (if using acrylics)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Use the optional artist's grid included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack to lightly outline the main elements of the painting with a pencil. This will help achieve composition accuracy.

Step 2: Blocking in the Background

Sky and Clouds: Mix a range of light blues and whites. Use a flat brush to paint the sky, blending the colors to achieve a soft gradient. For clouds, use a round brush and apply white in circular motions to create fluffy textures.
Sea: Apply various shades of blue, mixing in a touch of green for sections closer to the shore. Use sweeping horizontal strokes to mimic water movement.

Step 3: Adding the Land

Hills: Use a range of greens mixed with yellows and browns. Apply broad, sweeping brushstrokes to depict the rolling hills. For the earthy tones of the cliffs, mix red and brown paints, blending them slightly with the greens.
Beach: Mix sandy beige and white. Use a round brush to depict the curvature of the shoreline.

Step 4: Detailing the Cottage

Refer to your line drawing to carefully outline the cottage. Use white with subtle gray shadows to create dimension. Add details for windows and doors using a fine brush and darker tones.

Step 5: Final Touches

Reflections and Shadows: Add darker greens and blues where necessary to depict shadows, especially under clouds and on the water.
Highlights: Use lighter shades to emphasize areas where light hits the hills and cottages.

Step 6: Review and Adjust

Stand back and review your painting. Make any necessary adjustments, adding more details or blending colors for a more harmonious finish.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings serve as a clear template to map out the composition. Use the grid to align your sketch accurately, ensuring proportions are consistent with the source painting. This assists in achieving accurate placement of elements such as the cottage, hills, and shoreline, enhancing overall composition.

By following these steps, along with the provided materials in the Paint-Your-Own Pack, you'll create a satisfying recreation of the breathtaking Shetland landscape.
