The painting showcases a harmonious blend of blues and yellows, depicting lush wildflowers set against the serene backdrop of the firth's gentle waves and distant hills. The foreground bursts with expressive brushstrokes that create an impressionistic field of foliage, drawing the viewer into a moment of natural splendor and tranquility. This artwork utilizes a bold color palette, with striking blues, greens, and yellows dominating the scene, evoking both the freshness of nature and the artful complexity of its forms.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack serve as a foundation, helping you outline the major elements of the painting. If you're using the grid version, align it with your canvas to maintain compositional accuracy. Begin by sketching the general shapes as they appear in the drawing.

Painting Instructions

Background and Sky:
- Start with the sky and distant hills using a mix of light blue and white. Apply with a flat brush.
- Use horizontal brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and distance in the sky, transitioning to deeper blues as you approach the hills.
Dornoch Firth:
- Paint the water using a blend of blue and a touch of green for the firth, adding streaks of white to suggest light reflections.
- Maintain a horizontal flow with your brushwork to emulate the calm surface of the water.
Middle Ground:
- For the fields and mid-ground forms, use warmer yellows mixed with hints of green.
- Brush in the fields with a mixture of gentle, swirling strokes to indicate the natural texture.
Foreground Foliage and Wildflowers:
- Switch to a round brush and combine blue, green, and black to detail the foliage and stems, using expressive, curved strokes.
- Add vibrant yellow blossoms with small, delicate brush strokes, adding white to highlight and create depth.
- Allow for some abstract interpretation in this section—use the sketches as a guide but feel free to explore your brush technique.
Final Touches:
- Go over the painting with a detail brush, adjusting contrasts and adding subtle highlights or shadows where needed.
- With a steady hand, refine any edges or outlines softly with light strokes of black or dark blue for added definition.

Remember to step back occasionally to view your work from a distance. This perspective helps ensure balance and unity in your composition. Enjoy the process and take creative liberties as you see fit!
