  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes (large flat, medium round, small detail)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • The source painting image and line drawings from the Paint-Your-Own Pack
  • Optional artists grid for composition accuracy

Using Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawings: Use the line drawings included in your pack to outline the main elements of the landscape on your canvas. This will guide the placement of major features such as mountains, river, and rocks.

Grid: The optional grid version aids in accurate composition. Align the grid with your canvas and sketch the landscape by focusing on one section at a time.

Painting Process

  1. Background Setup:
    • Begin with painting the sky. Mix a light blue and gradually blend in white towards the horizon to capture the atmospheric depth.
    • Incorporate the warm sunlight using hues of soft yellow at the top to blend seamlessly with the blue sky.
  2. Mountains:
    • Paint the distant mountains with subtle blues and purples, reflecting the cooling distance.
    • For the closer peaks, layer darker blues and purples, accentuated with highlights of orange and yellow to reflect sunlight.
  3. Foreground and River:
    • Apply a rich mixture of orange, yellow, and brown for the foreground rocks, adding definition with darker browns for shading.
    • Paint the river using blues and greens, adding white highlights to depict the cascading water effect. Position these highlights based on the source painting for realism.
  4. Detailing and Highlights:
    • Use a small brush to add details to the rocks and water. Observe how the light affects different parts, adding brightness where needed.
    • Incorporate additional texture to the mountains and river through expressive, fluid strokes.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Review the overall balance of colors and make adjustments. Ensure the warmth of the sunlight and the coolness of the river complement each other.
    • Sign your painting to complete your recreation of the vibrant Isle of Skye landscape.

Enjoy the process of bringing this Scottish landscape to life, and don't forget to refer to the color wheel and source image for guidance on hue and tone integrity as you work through each step!
