Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas (size recommended: 16x20 inches)
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes (various sizes: flat, round, and detail)
  • Palette and palette knife
  • Easel
  • Painter's tape
  • Water container (for acrylics)
  • Linen or cotton cloth

Using the Line Drawings and Artists Grid

Your Paint-Your-Own Pack includes line drawings and an optional artist grid. Use the grid to help proportion your drawing by aligning it directly on your canvas. Start by sketching the basic outlines lightly in pencil for guidance. The grid helps maintain accurate composition by serving as a reference for placing elements exactly as they appear in the original painting.

Step 1: Sky and Background Mountains

  1. Begin with the sky. Mix a light blue using titanium white and ultramarine blue. Apply with broad strokes using a flat brush.
  2. For the clouds, use a mix of titanium white and a touch of cadmium yellow for warmth.
  3. Create the distant mountains using a cooler blue-gray mix (ultramarine blue, a bit of burnt sienna, and white). Use a dry brush technique to softly blend them into the sky.

Step 2: Water and Reflection

  1. Paint the loch using a combination of blue hues, adding hints of green to reflect the surrounding nature. Include streaks of white for reflections.
  2. Pay attention to the sunlight reflecting off the water. Use a palette knife to gently scrape white paint in horizontal strokes.

Step 3: Foreground Flowers and Grasses

  1. Start with the field using a mix of various greens (sap green, cadmium yellow, and a touch of blue). Layer the grasses, using a stippling technique with a round brush for texture.
  2. Add the wildflowers with dots and dabs of cadmium yellow and titanium white for brightness. Use a smaller brush for detail.

Step 4: Trees and Shadows

  1. Paint the trees using a mix of earthy tones (burnt umber and sap green). Use vertical strokes to capture the textures of the trunks and branches.
  2. Add shadows with a deeper green and hints of blue to ground the scene.

Step 5: Final Touches

  • Refine details by adding highlights to the water and bright pops of color to the flowers.
  • Use a fine brush or liner for any intricate details, such as individual branches or leaves.
  • Step back periodically to evaluate the overall balance and harmony of colors and shapes.
