  • Acrylic or oil paints (use provided color wheel)
  • Various brushes (small detail, medium flat, large round)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cups of water

Using the Pack Components

Refer to the line drawings to understand the basic composition and positioning of key elements. Use the artist's grid version if you prefer a more structured approach to maintaining proportions and spatial relationships in your painting.

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with good lighting.
  2. Ensure all materials are easily accessible.
  3. Review the source painting image and color palette to familiarize yourself with the scene and colors.

Creating the Painting

Step 1: Background and Sky

  1. Use a large brush to apply a wash of light blue across the sky area, following the swirling patterns visible in the original.
  2. Add white to highlight clouds and ensure smooth blending with the blue sky.

Step 2: Distant Trees and Horizon

  1. Mix dark greens and browns for the trees on the horizon line.
  2. Using a small brush, paint the tops of trees with quick, upward strokes to create texture.
  3. Integrate bits of lighter green for depth and dimension.

Step 3: Midground - Waterside Vegetation

  1. Paint the yellow and green areas with varying shades, starting with a medium brush for larger patches.
  2. Include warmer yellows and oranges for contrast.
  3. Apply intricate brushwork to mimic the delicate stems and leaves. Use the line drawings as a guide for placement.

Step 4: Stream and Reflections

  1. Mix deep blues and purples for the water, carefully painting around the lighter reflections.
  2. Add white and pale yellows for the shimmering reflections, capturing the interplay of light.

Step 5: Foreground Details

  1. Use finer brushes to focus on the foreground flowers and blades of grass.
  2. Blend whites and very light yellows for the flower petals, adding subtle shadows for realism.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Review your painting, ensuring balance and consistency across the scene.
  2. Add final highlights and adjust contrasts where needed using the color wheel for guidance.
  3. Let the painting dry thoroughly.
