Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland captures the majestic beauty of this ancient mountain range. Dominated by sweeping blues and purples, the mountains rise majestically against a soft sky. The foreground is abundant with wildflowers in delicate pinks, contrasting the ruggedness of the rocks and terrain. The composition leads the eye gently upwards through a natural passage of rock and flora, providing a sense of depth and serenity. Emphasizing cool tones with occasional warm accents in the flowers and earth, this painting blends realism with a slight impressionistic touch, creating a harmonious balance that celebrates the natural landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

  • Material Check: Ensure you have your Paint-Your-Own Pack PDF, brushes, a palette, water, and the paints as per the included color palette.
  • Workspace: Set up your workspace with good lighting and a flat surface.
  • Reference Prep: Open the source painting image and line drawings included in the pack.

Step 1: Sketch the Base

  1. Line Drawing: Use the provided line drawing to sketch the important outlines of the mountains, rocks, and flowers onto your canvas.
  2. Grid Option: For precise proportions, use the artist’s grid version included. Align your canvas with the grid to accurately transfer key elements.

Step 2: Establish the Sky and Distant Mountains

  1. Sky: Begin with a base layer of light blue, gently blending in whites to create the clouds.
  2. Mountains: Use a mix of blues and purples to paint the distant mountains, focusing on smooth gradients to convey depth.
  3. Apply lighter shades on the mountain peaks to suggest light and add realism.

Step 3: Foreground Landscape

  1. Rocks: Paint the rocks with a range of grays, adding hints of blue and purple shadows for dimension.
  2. Ground: Use earth tones with subtle green and yellow undertones for the grassy areas between the rocks.

Step 4: Paint the Flowers

  1. Base Color: Begin with a base coat of light pink for the flowers.
  2. Details: Add depth with darker pinks in the shadows and white highlights to reflect light, adding texture and form.

Step 5: Final Touches

  1. Details: Use fine brushes to add highlights and deep shadows in the rocks and mountains.
  2. Blending: Smooth any harsh lines between the sky and mountains for a seamless transition.
  3. Review: Step back and review your artwork. Add any final touches to balance the composition.
