Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water or turpentine (depending on paint type)
  • Line drawings and/or grid (included in the Paint-Your-Own Pack)
  • Colour wheel (included in the Paint-Your-Own Pack)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawings: Use these as a guide to sketch the main elements onto your canvas. This will help ensure accurate placement and scale of the key subjects, such as the mountains and tree.

Grid: This optional tool is helpful for transferring the image accurately onto your painting surface. Break down the composition into manageable sections, ensuring even spacing and balance.

Painting Instructions

  1. Background Wash:
    • Begin with a light wash of soft sky blue to create the sky, blending downwards into a light emerald to represent the distant hills.
    • Use wide, even brushstrokes for a smooth gradient.
  2. Mountains and Horizon:
    • Layer varying shades of muted blues and greens to form the mountains, using the line drawing for guidance.
    • Paint the reflections in the water by mirroring the shapes with slightly lighter shades.
  3. Tree Trunks and Foliage:
    • Paint the tree using dark browns and blacks to achieve depth and contrast against the light background.
    • Add texture to the leaves using a stippling technique, alternating shades for depth.
  4. Foreground Details:
    • Add subtle details to the foreground with fine brush strokes to suggest reeds or grasses along the water’s edge.
    • Use a mix of ochres and olives to integrate these elements seamlessly.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Adjust any areas that need enhanced contrast or detail.
    • Ensure the transition between water and sky remains soft and coherent.

Applying the Colour Wheel

Refer to the colour wheel to ensure harmony throughout your painting. Pay attention to the dominant hues and use complementary colors to add vibrancy to key focal points, such as the tree and its reflection.

With patience and attention to detail, you’ll recreate this serene beauty of Glen Affric, capturing nature’s stillness and majesty on your canvas.
