Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Ben Nevis captures the serene majesty of Scotland’s highest peak. It showcases a breathtaking panorama with graceful mountains in soft blues and purples, set under an expansive sky. In the foreground, a figure sits in contemplation, creating a narrative of reflection and tranquility. The use of light highlights the pastel palette, which includes subtle earth tones and an array of blues, creating a mood of calm and introspection. The overall artistic style is realistic with an impressionistic touch, invoking a sense of timelessness and natural beauty.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid in your pack are designed to help you capture the accurate proportions and composition. Use them as a reference to lightly sketch the main elements onto your canvas with a pencil.

Prepare the Canvas
- Apply a thin, even layer of gesso if needed and let it dry completely.
- Lightly sketch the grid directly onto your canvas if you’re using the gridded version. This will help keep proportions accurate.
Outline the Composition
- Using the line drawing, sketch the basic outline of Ben Nevis and the surrounding landscape. Pay close attention to the placement of the mountains, horizon, and the seated figure.
Block in the Background
- Start with the sky. Use a mix of light blue and white to create a soft, subtle sky. Apply with horizontal strokes for a smooth finish.
- Blend in hints of light purple near the horizon to suggest distant clouds or atmospheric perspective.
Paint the Mountains
- Layer the shades from deepest blue at the base to lighter tones at the peak, capturing the light's effect.
- Use light strokes to blend the colors, creating the look of distant hills.
Create the Foreground
- Mix various earth tones for the land, using a dry brush technique to mimic the texture of grass and rocks.
- Add subtle shadows to give depth and dimension. Use darker browns and blacks for shading.
Details of the Figure
- Carefully paint the figure. Use blues and whites for the clothing, ensuring the shadows conform to the form.
- Define the hair and add shadow on the ground to anchor the figure in the scene.
Final Touches
- Add any necessary highlights for light reflections. Use a liner brush for precision.
- Ensure transitions between elements are smooth and natural, blending where required.
- Step back and observe the overall balance. Make adjustments as necessary for color balance and detail.

Enjoy the process, and remember that this painting is about capturing the serene beauty and atmosphere of Ben Nevis. Take your time and create your own scenic masterpiece!
