Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Step into the misty evening landscape of Edinburgh, painted with a delicate balance of blues and subtle yellows, capturing the enchanting allure of twilight over the historic city. The painting portrays the majestic silhouette of Edinburgh Castle perched atop its rugged hill, enveloped in a gentle haze that softens the bustling city below. The sky, awash in hues of soft yellow and subdued blue, sets a tranquil yet mysterious backdrop, while the dim city lights glint like scattered gemstones, hinting at life amidst the calm.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Brushes: flat and round
Canvas or canvas paper
Palette for mixing colors
Pencil or charcoal for sketching
Line drawing/sketch from your Paint-Your-Own Pack
Grid version (optional for precision)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparation

Ensure your workspace is well-lit and all materials are within reach. Make use of the line drawing to outline the major elements onto your canvas. If you prefer precision, use the grid version to maintain accurate proportions.

2. Background Sky

Mixing the Colors: Using your color wheel, create a soft blend of light blue and pale yellow for the sky.

Start by applying the light blue towards the top of the canvas and gradually blend into pale yellow as you move down.
Use a large flat brush to ensure smooth transitions. Pay attention to the direction and softness of the clouds by using gentle, sweeping strokes.

3. Castle Silhouette

Overlay: Mix a deep navy blue for the castle and surrounding hills.

Paint the distinctive silhouette of the castle using a finer brush for detail.
Ensure the top line is sharp against the light background for contrast.

4. Cityscape

Using a slightly lighter shade of the castle's navy color, block in the cityscape below.
Add hints of orange and yellow to suggest the glow of lights emerging from the mist.
Soft, irregular shapes mimic the bustling yet indistinct forms of the city.

5. Foreground Vegetation

Texturing: Use dark green mixed with touches of brown for the foreground.

Apply with a dry brush technique for texture, suggesting the rough vegetation.
Add sporadic highlights with diluted yellow to bring depth and variation.

6. Final Touches

Using a clean brush, revisit the outline of the castle and hills to refine any edges blurred by the haze.
Adjust the glow in the sky and on the city lights, ensuring balance and coherence.

7. Review and Adjust

Step back from your painting to assess the overall balance of colors and form.
Make minor adjustments to enhance details or correct contrasts.

Allow your painting to dry thoroughly before displaying it. Admire your recreated view of Edinburgh, capturing its magical transition from day to night.
