Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Ben Cruachan rises majestically above the rugged landscape of Scotland, its slopes adorned by lush vegetation and dotted with vibrant wildflowers. In the foreground, vivid purple blossoms sway gently, contrasting against the rich greens of the hillside and the deep blues of the distant mountains. The painting captures the essence of the Scottish Highlands with a dynamic blend of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes, creating a lively and immersive experience.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints in the colors provided in the color palette.
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes.
  • Painting surface: Canvas or thick paper.
  • Palette for mixing colors.
  • Cup of water for cleaning brushes.
  • Paper towels.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and grid version help ensure composition accuracy. Use these tools to lightly sketch the broader outlines of the composition on your canvas.

  1. Begin with the Background
    • Mix varying shades of blue to create the sky. Use a wide brush to apply smooth horizontal strokes.
    • For the distant mountains, mix darker blue shades and apply with a flat brush, tapering off towards the top to mimic distance.
  2. Block in the Middle Ground
    • Use greens from your color wheel to paint the slopes. Start with lighter shades at the top and blend into darker greens towards the foreground.
    • Paint the rock formations using mixes of greys and deeper blues for shadows.
  3. Add Details to the Foreground
    • Mix and apply vibrant purples for the wildflowers, starting with the petals using a round brush for precision.
    • Add depth with darker purple and yellow accents at the center of each flower.
    • Use a thin detail brush to paint the stems and leaves in varying shades of green.
  4. Enhance and Refine
    • Once dry, assess your work. Add highlights and shadows where necessary, using lighter or darker tones to enhance depth.
    • Blend edges to create a softer transition between elements if needed.
