Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of the River Findhorn in Scotland captures the serene elegance of a fisherman standing calmly in the peaceful flow of the river, surrounded by lush, green pastures and a backdrop of distant hills. The sky is an expansive blue, punctuated by billowing white clouds that add depth and movement to the tranquil scene. The painting's palette consists of earthy greens, soft blues, and subtle browns, creating a harmonious balance that reflects the serene Scottish landscape. The art style combines realism with impressionistic touches, emphasizing natural beauty with bold, sweeping brushstrokes and careful attention to light and shadow.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Before You Begin

Materials: Gather your brushes, paints, and canvas. Refer to the color wheel included in your pack to familiarize yourself with the palette.
Preparation: Set up your workstation with ample lighting and space.

Use of Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid versions will aid in accurately transferring the composition onto your canvas. Use the grid to ensure proportions and placements are correct before painting.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

Use a light pencil to sketch the main elements of the scene: the horizon line, the figure of the fisherman, the riverbank, and the distant hills.
Rely on the grid to maintain accurate proportions. Mark key points where elements intersect lines on the grid to help align your sketch.

Step 2: Paint the Sky and Clouds

Base Color: Start with a wash of light blue across the sky area.
Clouds: Use white mixed with a touch of grey to add the volumetric clouds. Apply with a dry brush technique for soft edges.

Step 3: Render the Hills

Mix variations of green with hints of blue to create depth. Start with darker shades for the nearer hills and fade to lighter tones for ones further away.
Use horizontal brush strokes to capture the soft lines of the hills.

Step 4: Develop the River and Riverbank

Water Surface: Use soft blues and greens to depict the reflections in the water. Apply gently with a flat brush for smooth, flowing strokes.
Riverbank: Incorporate earthy browns and yellows. Add texture with a stippling technique to show sand and grass.

Step 5: Focus on the Fisherman

Mix flesh tones for the hands and face. The clothing can be kept lighter with whites and muted yellows for highlights, contrasting with the red hat.
Detail the fishing rod using a fine brush, ensuring it aligns correctly within the scene.

Step 6: Final Touches and Details

Refine edges of elements where necessary, adding further detail to the foliage and river reflections.
Touch up the highlights and shadows, enhancing the depth and dimensionality of the scene.

Once completed, step back and assess your artwork. Be sure to sign your painting to mark your accomplishment!
