Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of the Isle of Lewis in Scotland captures the wild, untamed beauty of the Scottish landscape. The scene is vibrant and dynamic, with swirling clouds in a dramatic sky that contrasts sharply with the rocky terrain and turbulent sea. The piece features a quaint, white-washed cottage with a red roof perched amid rolling, verdant hills. The artist has employed a bold, expressionistic style, using a vivid palette dominated by deep blues, striking reds, lush greens, and bright yellows. The broad, sweeping brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and energy, drawing the viewer into the scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic paints: blue, red, green, yellow, white, black
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water cup for cleaning brushes
  • Paper towels or cloth

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional grid versions are designed to assist with composition accuracy. Begin by lightly sketching the outlines provided in the line drawing onto your canvas. If you choose to use the grid version, it can help in scaling the image accurately by allowing you to focus on one section at a time.

Painting Guide

  1. Sky:
    • Start with the sky, using a mix of deep blues and black for the stormy background. Apply the paint in swirling, sweeping strokes to mimic the dramatic movement of the clouds.
    • Add white and a touch of yellow to create the luminous, swirling clouds. Use a round brush for blending.
  2. Sea:
    • Use deep blues with hints of black to craft the sea. Employ horizontal strokes to give the impression of waves.
    • Highlight waves with thin lines of white to capture the sea's churning motion.
  3. Cottage:
    • Paint the cottage using white for the walls. Add shadows with light grays to give depth.
    • For the roof, use a vibrant red. Introduce shadows using a mix of red and black.
  4. Foreground:
    • Utilize a range of greens for the grassy hills, adding variation with yellow highlights where the light hits.
    • Blend red and yellow for the earthy foreground, capturing the warmth and diversity of the landscape.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Refine details with a fine brush, adjusting contrast and highlights as needed to emphasize depth and texture.
    • Step back from your canvas to assess balance and intensity of colors, making adjustments as necessary.
