Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or primed painting surface
  • Acrylic paints (as per the included colour wheel)
  • Brushes of varying sizes (flat and round)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water container and a cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Palette knife (optional for thick lines)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid version helps in accurately sketching the composition. Use the grid to align key elements and maintain proportion and perspective. Start by lightly sketching the outlines on your canvas, referencing the line drawing to ensure correct placement of houses, roofs, and vegetation.

Step 1: Background and Sky

  1. Mix a light blue using white and a small amount of blue.
  2. Apply the color with a wide brush for smooth coverage across the sky area, making sure to leave spaces for the rooftops.
  3. Use horizontal strokes to convey a serene atmosphere.

Step 2: Outlining the Structures

  1. Use a dark blue or black to outline the houses and chimneys. This will help define their geometric shapes.
  2. Employ a fine brush or palette knife for bold, clean lines.

Step 3: Painting the Roofs and Walls

  1. Choose a complementary palette of deep blue, bright orange, and white for the roofs.
  2. Paint the roofs first with a flat brush, paying attention to neat edges and bold color application.
  3. Fill in the walls with white, creating contrast with the roofs. Use broad strokes for smooth coverage.

Step 4: Adding Details to Vegetation

  1. Use a mixture of yellow and green for trees and bushes.
  2. Apply the color with dabbing motions to give texture and dimension to the foliage.
  3. Incorporate darker greens and small black accents to add depth.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

  1. Go over any outlines that need sharpening after painting the main colors.
  2. Blend softly where different colors meet for a more cohesive look.
  3. Adjust the vibrancy of colors as needed by layering additional paint, ensuring the painting feels lively and balanced.

Embark on your artistic journey, keeping the original painting in mind. Enjoy the process as you bring Cullen to life through your own personal touch!
