Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of River Spey in Scotland invites you into a serene landscape where nature's tranquility unfolds in a tapestry of gentle greens and blues. The meandering river is bordered by lush rolling hills, draped in mist, and crowned by distant mountains that touch the sky. Spring flowers of soft purples and delicate whites dot the earth, adding splashes of vibrant color to the scene. The painting showcases a harmonious blend of Impressionism and Realism, capturing the ethereal beauty of the Scottish landscape with a calming, soothing palette.

Acrylic or oil paints matching the color wheel in the PDF
Palette and palette knife
Canvas or painting surface

Preparation

Study the Painting: Familiarize yourself with the painting image in the PDF. Notice the distribution of colors, the flow of the river, and the patterns of the hills and flowers.
Use the Line Drawing: Transfer the line drawing included in your PDF onto your canvas to map out major shapes and guide composition.
Grid Method (Optional): If precision is needed, use the artist's grid version in the PDF. This will help maintain accurate proportions.

Painting Process

1. Underpainting

Apply a thin wash of light blue to the sky and river areas to establish a cool undertone.
Use muted greens and browns for an underpainting of the hills and ground. Let it dry.

2. Blocking in Major Areas

Sky and Background: Using a flat brush, paint the sky with horizontal strokes of light blue and white, introducing lighter tones towards the horizon.
Mountains and Hills: Layer shades of blue and green, adding depth by interspersing darker tones in the background mountains.
River: Use a mix of blues and light reflections in white to capture the fluid movement of the river.

3. Adding Details

Flora: With a detail brush, paint the flowers using soft purples and whites. Highlight their edges and centers to give them life.
Foreground Textures: Diversify greens in the grasses and rocks. Use varied strokes for realism.

4. Refining

Light and Shadow: Add highlights to the river and hill crests. Deepen shadows on lower slopes and rock surfaces for contrast.
Harmonize the Colors: Ensure transitions between elements are smooth. Use subtle blending techniques to link the river and adjacent fields.

5. Final Touches

Finishing Details: Add fine lines to outline flower stems and enhance smaller features.
Varnishing (optional): Once dry, apply a varnish to protect the painting and enrich colors.

Enjoy your recreated view of the River Spey, capturing the exquisite charm of Scotland's landscapes with your own artistic touch.
