Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid in the PDF pack serve as a valuable tool for achieving accurate composition.

  • Line Drawing: Use the line drawing to sketch the basic outlines of the landscape on your canvas with a light pencil.
  • Grid: If using the grid version, start by lightly drawing a grid on your canvas to align with the one in the pack. This will help maintain accurate proportions.

Painting Steps

1. Sky and Distant Hills

  • Sky: Mix a soft blue with hints of white. Use a wide brush to paint the sky, keeping your strokes smooth and horizontal.
  • Hills: Use shades of green mixed with blue to create depth and distance. Apply darker greens for the hills further away, gradually lightening the shade as they move closer to the foreground.

2. Middle Ground

  • Houses: Use white for the cottages with soft gray or black for the roofs. Capture the charming architecture with neat, straight lines.
  • Trees: Mix vibrant yellows and oranges for the leaves. Apply using a round brush with stippling technique to create texture.

3. Foreground

  • Wildflowers: These are the focal point. Use bright reds, pinks, and yellows. Paint each petal with careful, outward strokes to capture their shape and vibrancy.
  • Pathway: Mix neutral grays and whites. Use brush strokes that follow the curve of the path to capture movement.

4. Final Touches

  • Details: Add final details on the houses and trees using small brushes. Highlight the distinctiveness of Kilmartin’s landscape.
  • Shadows and Highlights: Apply subtle shadows on the foliage and flowers by mixing your base colors with a touch of black. Use white mixed with your base color to add highlights.

Finishing Up

Let your painting dry completely before displaying. Step back occasionally to assess your work, allowing you to make adjustments as needed. Enjoy the recreation of this serene Scottish landscape, celebrating the imaginative charm and vibrant beauty of Kilmartin.
