Painting Instructions

1. Sky and Clouds

  1. Mix: A light blue for the sky, using the color wheel for reference.
  2. Apply: Use a large brush to cover the top section of your canvas, fading the color lighter towards the horizon. Smooth out strokes for a seamless sky.

2. The Loch

  1. Mix: Various shades of blue, incorporating hints of green for natural reflection.
  2. Paint: Use horizontal strokes to capture the water’s surface, keeping it smooth and reflective.
  3. Add Details: Introduce lighter blue and white streaks to mimic light reflections and movement.

3. Distant Hills

  1. Mix: Dark greens and blues, referencing your palette for depth and shadow.
  2. Layer: Define the rolling hills in the background with gentle curved strokes, adding minimal detailing to convey distance.

4. Meadow and Flowers

  1. Base: Paint a foundational green layer for the meadow.
  2. Flowers: Using bright yellows, apply dabs and short strokes to create the field of wildflowers, varying sizes for depth.
  3. Enhance: Add darker greens and slight yellows to create texture and shadow within the field.

5. Foreground Details

  1. Mix: Blend deeper greens and blues for the shadowy areas.
  2. Define: Use a fine brush to sharpen details of plants and shadows at the front of the scene for a realistic touch.
