Set up your canvas and make sure all your materials are within easy reach. Reference the color wheel to understand the palette you're working with.
Start with the sky. Use a large brush to apply light blue and white for the sky background, blending smoothly towards the horizon.
Move to the distant mountains. Use varying shades of blue and purple to depict the depth and shadow. Apply with a medium brush, following the line drawings for accurate outlines.
For the valleys, work with greens and yellows to capture the sunlit landscape. Use broad, sweeping strokes to convey the gentle slopes and contours.
Switch to a smaller brush to add details to the flora. Use a variety of greens for the leaves and stems, and bright yellows and blues for the flowers, ensuring each blossom stands out.
Once the base colors are dry, deepen shadows and highlights using a darker or lighter hue of the existing colors. Touch up details to add realism and texture.
Blend any harsh transitions, ensure the landscape flows naturally, and make any needed corrections for balance and proportion.
Step back and view the painting from a distance. Make any final adjustments if needed, refine small details, and let the painting dry. Once finished, your recreation of Ben Lawers should reflect the harmony and splendor seen in the source image.
