Painting Steps

  1. Prepare Your Canvas
    • Set up your work area with good lighting.
    • Smoothly apply a thin layer of white acrylic gesso and let it dry.
  2. Sketch the Composition
    • Refer to the line drawings and lightly sketch the main elements: the horizon, hills, and water lines.
    • Use the grid version to check the accuracy of your sketch with the image provided.
  3. Paint the Sky
    • Mix a subtle blue with a hint of green for the sky. Apply with a flat brush in smooth horizontal strokes.
    • Add slight variations using white to indicate clouds and atmospheric depth.
  4. Render the Distant Hills
    • Create a cool, muted blue for the farther hills. Use a small flat brush for clean edges.
    • For closer hills, mix a darker green with blues for depth, applying in smooth strokes.
  5. Paint the Water
    • Blend a soft blue with green, reflecting the sky's hue. Apply horizontally across the canvas.
    • Add horizontal strokes of white to create the illusion of light on water.
  6. Detail the Foreground
    • Use a mix of greens and browns for the land areas, using the palette knife for texture.
    • Include gentle variations and transitions between colors for a natural look.
  7. Finishing Touches
    • Enhance any areas needing more contrast or definition with darker tones.
    • Use a fine brush to add any light reflections or finer details necessary for balance.
    • Let the painting dry completely.

Enjoy the painting process and take your time to explore the peaceful beauty of Loch Insh through each brushstroke.
