The painting of Ben More captures the majestic Scottish landscape in a vibrant and expressive manner. Dominated by cool tones with splashes of warm hues, the painting showcases a dramatic sky, with swirling clouds and a rich, deep blue mountain reflected in the tranquil waters below.

This contemporary interpretation focuses on color contrasts and dynamic shapes, making it both captivating and inspiring.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or art paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the provided colour wheel)
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Palette
  • Water and palette knife (optional for acrylics)

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Start by setting up your workspace with all materials at hand. Ensure your canvas or paper is secured. Review the source image and familiarize yourself with the line drawings and grid provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack.

Step 2: Sketch the Composition

Using the optional artist’s grid or line drawings, lightly sketch the main outlines of the mountain, sky, and water onto your canvas. This will help you maintain composition accuracy and proportion.

Step 3: Paint the Sky

  1. Background Clouds: Begin with a light base by mixing white with a touch of light blue. Use broad, smooth strokes to create the soft cloud shapes.
  2. Deeper Clouds: Add depth using a darker blue or purple around the cloud edges, blending into the lighter blue.
  3. Sunset Tones: Introduce warm oranges and pinks towards the edges to convey a dynamic sky.

Step 4: Capture the Mountain

  1. Base Layer: Apply a mix of dark blue and violet for the mountain, using dynamic strokes to convey its rugged texture.
  2. Highlights and Shadows: Use lighter tones sparingly on the mountain peak and ridges to create depth.
  3. Blend: Smooth transitions between colors to reflect the sunlight and shadows.

Step 5: Water Reflection

  1. Base Color: Paint the water using shades of blue, ensuring to match the tones of the sky for a realistic reflection.
  2. Reflection Details: Use darker and lighter colors to mimic the mountain and clouds, gently swiping horizontally.

Step 6: Foreground Elements

Using the brightest colors from your palette, paint the foreground with a mix of lively greens, oranges, and yellows to bring vibrancy. Add irregular shapes and strokes to suggest rocks and vegetation.

Step 7: Final Touches

  1. Enhance Highlights: Add small bright touches on the mountain and clouds where the sun might hit.
  2. Refine Edges: Use a smaller brush to clean up lines where necessary, ensuring clarity in major shapes.
  3. Review: Stand back and review your painting. Make any adjustments needed to balance color and composition.
