Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or heavy art paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes: broad, medium, and fine
  • Palette knife (optional)
  • Line drawings and/or artist grid (provided in Paint-Your-Own Pack)
  • Colour wheel (included in the pack)

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace: Ensure you have good lighting and your reference materials from the Paint-Your-Own Pack at hand.

  2. Review the line drawings and grid: Use these to sketch the major elements onto your canvas lightly. The grid can help ensure accurate proportions and composition.

Painting Instructions

1. Background and Sky

  1. Mix a range of blue tones using your colour wheel as a guide for the sky and mountains. Aim for a gradient from deeper blues at the peak to lighter blues near the horizon.
  2. Apply the colors with broad strokes, allowing them to blend softly to create a serene atmosphere.

2. Mountains

  1. Use darker shades of blue and purple for the mountains to create depth and dimension.
  2. Apply these with bold, confident strokes. A palette knife can enhance the rugged texture of the mountain range.

3. Foreground and Flowers

  1. Mix greens and yellows for the grassy foreground and apply them using short, curved strokes to suggest movement and vitality.
  2. Paint the flowers with vibrant purples and yellows, using fine brushes to detail petals and stems.

4. Final Touches and Details

  1. Add shadows and highlights to enhance depth. Refer to your color wheel to identify complementary shades for a balanced contrast.
  2. Check against your line drawing to ensure all elements are accurately placed and proportioned.
  3. Allow the painting to dry and review for any final adjustments needed.

Throughout the process, take regular breaks to step back and view your painting from a distance. This will help you gauge overall composition and balance. Enjoy the creative journey of bringing Ben Cruachan to life on your canvas!
