Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Painting Steps

  1. Background Sky and Mountains:
    • Start with the sky. Use a large flat brush to apply a base layer of light blue, gradually darkening towards the top.
    • Add white highlights to create the dynamic cloud patterns, blending softly for a natural look.
    • Paint the distant mountains in a deep navy blue, carefully outlining them for contrast against the sky.
  2. Midground Fields and Water:
    • Using golden yellows and greens, paint the fields. Use a sweeping motion to create the impression of rolling land.
    • For the water, layer various blues to capture the reflection and depth, blending softly.
  3. Foreground Vegetation and Flowers:
    • Begin with the stems and foliage using greens of different shades as shown on your color palette.
    • Switch to detail brushes for the wildflowers, using the vibrant pinks and purples. Refer to the line drawing for flower placement and size.
    • Outline with strong, confident strokes in darker hues to emulate the artist’s bold outlines.
  4. Detailing and Final Touches:
    • Add highlights and shadows to the flowers and foliage to enhance depth.
    • Review your work, ensuring balanced color distribution and attention to intricate details as seen in the source image.
Enjoy the process and let the inspiration of the Machair of Uist guide your brush!
