Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting beautifully captures the serene landscape of Lochinver, Scotland. The scene features tranquil waters reflecting the sky, surrounded by rugged hills in hues of ochre, grey, and soft blues. A quaint white house sits nestled among the hills, adding a touch of human presence to this otherwise untouched wilderness. The color palette is soothing, dominated by warm earth tones and cool grays, creating a harmonious balance. The style is impressionistic, with loose and expressive brushwork that captures the essence of the landscape rather than precise details.

Painting Guide

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

  • Start with a clean, primed canvas. Use an optional grid version from the Paint-Your-Own Pack to lightly sketch the main outlines, such as the horizon, the house position, and the major landforms.

Step 2: Blocking In the Background

  • Use broad, horizontal strokes with a large brush to apply the sky color. Mix white, light gray, and a hint of blue for this section.
  • For the distant hills, mix medium gray and soft blue. Let your brushwork be loose to capture the hazy appearance.

Step 3: Painting the Water

  • Mix white with a hint of the sky color for the water reflection. Use horizontal strokes for a smooth effect.
  • Gradually darken the mixture towards the foreground with a little gray.

Step 4: Adding the Land and House

  • For the rocky outcrops and hills, use a mix of ochre, gray, and burnt sienna. Apply with a palette knife or a broad brush to capture texture.
  • Block in the position of the house with white, refining its shape as you go along. Add details like the roof with a slightly darker gray.

Step 5: Enhancing Details

  • Add small details like windows and shadows on the house using a fine brush with gray.
  • Introduce subtle color variations in the land with sienna and ochre for depth.

Step 6: Final Touches

  • Refine the reflections in the water by adding horizontal strokes of darker colors where needed.
  • Step back and evaluate your painting. Make any necessary adjustments to enhance the overall balance and harmony.

Tips:

  • Refer to the supplied color wheel to match the palette accurately.
  • Use the line drawing as a guide for proportional accuracy.
  • Keep your brushstrokes loose and expressive to mimic the artistic style.

Enjoy the process and allow your creativity to flow as you bring this Scottish landscape to life!
