Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in a vivid depiction of Edinburgh, where the historic architecture stands majestically against a dramatic, abstract sky. This painting captures the essence of Edinburgh Castle perched upon its hill, surrounded by a whirlwind of vibrant blues and greens. The bold, swirling strokes offer a modern, expressive style that evokes movement and emotion. Yellows, oranges, and hints of teal add depth and highlight the play of light across the landscape, echoing the dynamism of the city itself.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Paint-Your-Own Pack (PDF with source image, line drawings, sketches, grid, and color wheel)
Acrylic paints: blue, green, yellow, orange, white, black
Various brushes (flat, round, detail)
Canvas or painting paper
Palette for mixing colors
Water container and cloth for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by referencing the provided line drawings and grid. Use them to accurately sketch the outline of Edinburgh Castle and the abstract details of the landscape onto your canvas. The grid will assist in scaling and positioning each element precisely, ensuring the overall composition mirrors the source painting.

Blocking in the Background

Sky: Mix various shades of blue, applying broad, sweeping strokes to create a dynamic sky. Allow the colors to blend naturally, adding a small proportion of white to create lighter areas.
Far Hills: Use deeper blues mixed with touches of green for the distant hills beneath the castle. Aim for a gradient effect, darker near the horizon and lighter as it approaches the sky.

Adding the Main Structures

Edinburgh Castle: With a fine brush, use a mixture of black and brown to define the silhouette of the castle against the sky. Pay attention to the detailed lines from your grid to ensure accuracy.
Foreground Buildings: Use a mix of darker tones and highlight with white and yellow to depict the buildings and highlights seen in the distance.

Creating the Foreground

Landscape Details: Employ the line drawings to sketch out the approximate shapes of the foreground. Use bold greens and blues with a large flat brush to create sweeping strokes that echo the abstract style.
Adding Highlights and Details: Introduce yellow and orange hues selectively to create a vibrant contrast with cooler colors. Use a detail brush to add finer strokes and droplets reminiscent of the original painting’s expressive energy.

Final Touches

Once all elements are in place, step back and assess your painting. Use the color wheel to ensure balance and harmony within the color palette. Add any final details that emphasize the expressive nature of the scene, such as refining edges or enhancing color contrasts.

Allow your painting to dry completely. Enjoy your recreated artwork, capturing a slice of Edinburgh’s vibrant spirit through your unique artistic expression.
