Mix soft hues from your color wheel to create the cloudy Scottish sky. Use broad brush strokes for a smooth fade.
Choose muted blues and purples to paint the distant hills. Work from dark to light tones for depth.
Use varying shades of green and yellow. The fields should be vibrant yet allow the foreground to stand out.
Introduce subtle shadows and highlights to suggest undulating terrain.
Begin with the Red Campion flowers. Use vivid pinks and reds, employing gentle strokes to capture their delicate petals.
Mix different shades to add volume and texture to the petals. Don’t forget the subtle details on the leaves and stems.
Once the main colors are dry, use finer brushes to outline and add definition to the flowers and landscape elements.
Apply light touches of white or yellow for highlights on the flowers, to give them a lifelike quality.
Enjoy the journey of bringing the charming Red Campion of Scotland to life on your canvas. Experiment and enjoy the vibrant colors and graceful forms of this captivating landscape.
