Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures a serene and dramatic scene on the River Clyde in Scotland. A lone fisherman stands poised in mid-cast, surrounded by the majestic glow of the setting sun bursting through dramatic clouds. The sunlight cascades across the landscape, highlighting the rugged mountains in the distance and reflecting off the river's shimmering surface. The contrasting dark greens of the riverbank trees and the shadows of distant hills frame the fisherman, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action. The color palette features warm yellows, vibrant oranges, and lush greens, bringing depth and life to the tranquil scene while employing a realistic, yet slightly impressionistic style.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials

Canvas
Acrylic or oil paints matching the color palette
Brushes: Flat, round, and detail
Palette for mixing colors
Water cup (for acrylics) or turpentine (for oils)
Paper towels or cloths

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Set up your canvas on an easel in a well-lit area.
Use the included grid overlay or line drawing to sketch the basic outline of the scene. This will help ensure your composition is accurate.

Step 2: Painting the Sky and Clouds

Start by applying a base layer of warm yellows and oranges in the upper portion of the sky. Blend these colors smoothly.
Add deeper oranges and hints of reds near the sun for a vibrant glow. Use a round brush for soft, sweeping strokes.
For the clouds, mix grays, blues, and purples. Using a flat brush, layer these colors to create depth and texture in the clouds.
Highlight the edges of the clouds with a lighter mix of your sky color to capture the sunlight piercing through.

Step 3: Detailing the Mountain and Trees

Mix greens with blues and black for the distant mountains and shadows. Use a round brush for the broad strokes.
For the trees along the riverbank, use darker greens, adding hints of lighter green and yellow for highlights where the sun hits.

Step 4: Bringing the Fisherman to Life

Now focus on the central figure, the fisherman. Use the line drawing to assist with accuracy.
Begin with a base coat using muted colors for the clothing, adding shadows and highlights with varying shades of grays and browns.
Use a small detail brush to add definition to the fishing rod and the fisherman’s features.

Step 5: Reflecting the Scene in the Water

Replicate the colors and forms from the sky and fisherman in the river below. The reflections should be softer and slightly broken due to the water's movement.
Use horizontal strokes to create a shimmering effect, with brighter colors toward the center where sunlight reflects.

Step 6: Final Touches

Evaluate the overall balance of colors and composition. Add additional highlights or shadows as needed to enhance depth and realism.
Allow the painting to dry before adding any final small details or corrections.

Use the provided color wheel to ensure your colors match the recommended palette, helping you achieve a stunning rendition of the dramatic scene on the River Clyde.
