Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Start by using the provided line drawings to outline the basic shapes on your canvas. For accuracy, you may choose to use the grid version to align your sketch perfectly with the source painting.

Painting the Sky and Background

  1. Base Layer: Begin with the sky using a large brush. Apply a gradient of yellows and pale blues, blending them to create the light emanating from the horizon.
  2. Add Depth: Layer darker blues over the top half of the mountains using broad strokes, adding depth and contrast.

Shaping the Mountains

  1. Outline and Fill: With a medium brush, use deep navy to outline and fill the mountain shapes. Pay attention to their distinct contours and peaks.
  2. Texture and Detail: Use a palette knife or dry brush to add texture with lighter blues and hints of pale yellows. This creates dynamic highlights on the rugged surfaces.

Foreground and Flora

  1. Floral Silhouettes: Use vibrant oranges to paint the bold flowers in the foreground. Focus on circular shapes and thin, elongated stems.
  2. Detailing the Vegetation: Utilize a small brush to add intricate details to the various plants, using hints of purple and lighter shades for diversity and liveliness.

Final Touches

  1. Shadow and Light: Adjust shadows and enhance highlights to create a more three-dimensional effect using darker and lighter tones.
  2. Refinement: Examine the painting for any areas that need refinement or additional detail, ensuring all elements harmonize without losing the abstract feel.

Inspiration and Reflection

Step back and admire your creation, reflecting on how the bold, animated style captures the spirit of Ben Nevis. Allow its abstract quality to communicate the majesty and mystique of this iconic Scottish landscape.
