Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Perth in Scotland is a mesmerizing portrayal of a cityscape infused with Art Nouveau influences. The scene is a harmonious blend of swirling organic shapes, intricate patterns, and muted tones that evoke a dreamlike ambiance. The architecture is stylized, with decorative motifs intertwining with the structures, enhanced by a palette of blues, greens, and soft beige hues. These colors create a soothing yet dynamic composition, reflective of both the historic charm and the natural beauty of Perth.

Structured Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or watercolor paints
  • Pencils for sketching
  • Paint brushes in various sizes (detail brush, medium flat brush)
  • Canvas or watercolor paper
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cup of water and cloth for cleaning brushes (if using acrylics)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Study the Image: Begin by closely examining the source image included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Notice the flow of lines and the balance of colors—these are crucial to capturing the feel of the painting.
  2. Initial Sketch: Use the included line drawing or sketch as a guide. Optionally, overlay the artist's grid version on your canvas to help with accurate proportions. Lightly sketch out the main elements with a pencil.
  3. Background Colors: Start with the background. Use a soft wash of beige and light pastels to lay down the general background tones. Gradually build up the sky with layers of blended colors using a medium flat brush.
  4. Architectural Details: Move to the structures. Mix variations of blues and grays to create depth in the buildings. Add detailing with a fine detail brush, following the patterns and curves reminiscent of Art Nouveau style. Work from broad areas to finer details.
  5. Adding Organic Motifs: The swirling patterns are key to this artwork. Mix green, blue, and light yellow to develop the vibrant organic motifs around the architecture. Use fluid brushstrokes to capture their elegance and movement.
  6. Water and Reflections: Paint the water with a mix of the color palette, capturing reflections with wavy lines using a small round brush. Pay attention to the light and shadow play, adding highlights to reflect the soft glow from the sky.
  7. Final Touches: Refine details and add final highlights, ensuring the textures and forms are cohesive. Adjust contrast with darker tones where needed to emphasize depth.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings are designed to help with composition accuracy, allowing you to see the underlying structure of the painting. If using the grid, align it with your canvas and use it to check that your lines and positioning match the original composition. This step is crucial for maintaining the balance and flow of the painting.

With patience and attention to the details, you'll be able to recreate this enchanting vision of Perth, capturing both its historical essence and artistic beauty.
