Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting beautifully captures the essence of Stirling, Scotland, with its iconic castle set against a serene landscape. The foreground is dominated by vibrant thistles, symbolizing Scotland’s natural beauty and resilience. The artist uses a harmonious colour palette of purples, greens, and golds to evoke the region's lush, rolling hills and dramatic skies. The style is expressive, with bold brushstrokes and a dynamic composition that draws the viewer’s eye from the rich foreground to the majestic castle in the distance. This painting is an invitation to explore the rugged charm and historical depth of Scottish landscapes.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Brushes (various sizes)
Palette

Painting Guide

Step 1: Background Sky

Mix a soft yellow and pale blue for the sky. Use large brushes for smooth, wide strokes.
Apply a blend of these colours to create a serene, slightly cloudy sky. Let this layer dry.

Step 2: Castle and Distant Hills

Reference the line drawing to place the castle on the left. Use dark grey and muted purple for the stonework.
With medium brushes, paint the distant hills with a mix of purples and greens, providing depth and contrast.

Step 3: Middle Ground Fields

For the rolling fields, use a range of greens and golds. Employ sweeping horizontal strokes.
Blend lighter shades towards the horizon to convey distance and light.

Step 4: Foreground Thistles

The thistles are key focal points. Use your line drawing to position them accurately.
Start with dark green for the leaves and stems, using thin, precise brushes for detailing.
Paint the flowers with a vibrant mix of pink and red, ensuring they stand out against the background.
Add highlights with lighter pinks and reds to give the flowers volume and depth.

Step 5: Final Details and Touch-Ups

Review your work and add any necessary touches to the sky, castle, or fields for balance.
Use fine brushes for any final details on the thistles or subtle shading adjustments across the painting.

Using the Colour Wheel

Utilize the colour wheel included in your pack to ensure accurate colour mixing. This will help you achieve consistency and vibrancy in your painting.

Conclusion

Once your painting is complete, step back and admire the recreated beauty of Stirling. This vibrant depiction captures both the essence of the landscape and your own artistic expression. Enjoy the satisfaction of having created a piece that resonates with the timeless charm of Scottish scenery.
