Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas and easel
  • Acrylic paints in shades of green, blue, yellow, beige, and white
  • Brushes (flat and round)
  • Palette
  • Water container
  • Cloth or paper towels
  • Pencil

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with adequate lighting.
  2. Secure the canvas on the easel, ensuring it's stable for painting.
  3. Review the line drawings and grid provided in the Paint-Your-Own Pack to understand the composition.
  4. Examine the color wheel included to familiarize yourself with the palette.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Use the grid version to help with accurate placement of colors and shapes. The line drawings provide guidance for the initial sketch on your canvas, aiding in aligning the geometric blocks correctly.

Painting Steps

1. Sketch the Composition

  1. Lightly sketch the geometric pattern onto the canvas using a pencil. Use the grid for precise placement, ensuring each block is proportional.

2. Background Sky

  1. Mix a soft blue using your palette and apply it to the top section, creating the sky. Blend the edges slightly for a smooth transition.

3. Painting the Landscape Blocks

  1. Start with the lightest colors and gradually move to darker shades.
  2. Mix a muted green for the first set of forest blocks. Use a flat brush for clean edges.
  3. Gradually incorporate earthy yellows and deep greens, referring to the color wheel for blending tips.
  4. Alternate between light and dark blocks to create depth, keeping the abstract style consistent.

4. Play with Layers and Textures

  1. Once the base colors are dry, add another layer to enhance the richness of each hue.
  2. Use a round brush to introduce slight texture in certain blocks, reflecting the organic diversity of the forest.

5. Finishing Touches

  1. Review the painting for any areas that need refining, ensuring each block is crisp and visually balanced.
  2. Add highlights or darks as necessary to enrich the visual depth.
  3. Allow the painting to dry completely before handling or displaying.

Final Thoughts

Step back and admire your work, taking pride in the recreation of Dava Moor's natural beauty. Reflect on the contrasts and harmonies of color, and the modern composition that brings a fresh perspective to Scotland's iconic landscapes.
