Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures the rugged majesty of Liathach, one of Scotland's iconic mountains. The artwork is dominated by bold, expressive brushstrokes that convey both the grandeur and texture of the natural landscape. The vivid color palette features striking oranges and earthy browns intermingled with patches of snow-white and cool blues, illustrating a mesmerizing contrast between the warm tones of the land and the cold, elegant peaks of the mountain. The dynamic composition and use of color express a sense of energy and movement, embodying an abstract, modern artistic style that emphasizes emotion and mood over fine detail.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints: Orange, Burnt Sienna, Brown, White, Blue, Yellow, Red
  • Brushes: Large flat, medium round, and fan brushes
  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with all materials within easy reach.
  2. Review the included color wheel to familiarize yourself with the color palette.
  3. Choose between the line drawing or grid version to assist in maintaining composition accuracy.

Using the Line Drawing or Grid

Line Drawing: Transfer the line drawing onto your canvas to serve as an outline. This will help keep proportions accurate.

Grid: Use the grid to break down the painting into smaller, manageable sections.

Painting Process

  1. Background Sky:
    • Using a large flat brush, apply a thin layer of light blue across the upper part of the canvas for the sky.
    • Blend a little white into the blue as you work downwards for a gradient effect.
  2. Mountain Peaks:
    • Outline the shape of Liathach using a mix of white and a hint of blue.
    • Create texture by applying thick strokes of white, allowing some blue to show through.
  3. Mid-section and Slopes:
    • Mix orange with a dab of burnt sienna and apply it to the slopes of the mountain.
    • Use a medium round brush to create the rugged texture, adding darker spots of brown for depth.
  4. Foreground:
    • Apply oranges and yellows in broad swatches at the base of the mountain for the land.
    • Introduce blues and purples to suggest shadows and dimension.
  5. Refining and Detailing:
    • Add highlights with bright white to the mountain peaks using a fan brush.
    • Reinforce dark areas with black or dark brown for shadows and crevices.
    • Use a clean, dry brush to gently blend any harsh lines for a cohesive look.
  6. Final Touches:
    • Step back to view your work as a whole.
    • Make any necessary adjustments, focusing on balance between the warm and cool tones.

Completion

Allow the painting to dry completely before handling. Take this time to reflect on your creative process and the expressive landscape captured in your artwork. Enjoy the unique interpretation of Liathach that you've brought to life.
