Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional grid can help you transfer the basic composition onto your canvas. Use the grid version if you prefer more accuracy in proportions and placement of key elements. Lightly sketch the outline on your canvas with a pencil before you begin painting.

Color Palette

Refer to the color wheel provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Key colors include:

Sky: Oranges, yellows, pinks
River: Blues, turquoise
Hills: Purples, reds, dark browns
Grass and foliage: Greens, yellows, oranges

Step 1: Background Sky

Start with the Sky: Use a flat brush to apply a gradient of colors starting with bright yellows near the sun. Blend into oranges and pinks as you move outward. Use broad, sweeping strokes for a smooth transition.
Define Sun: Paint the sun as a bright yellow circle, ensuring it remains luminous. Use small amounts of white for highlights.

Step 2: Distant Mountains

Pick up a mix of purple and dark brown to form the silhouettes of the distant mountains. Use a round brush to gently outline and fill in these shapes, using a lighter touch at the top for a slight atmospheric effect.

Step 3: River and Reflections

Create the River: Use blues and turquoise to lay down the base color of the river. Blend in lighter shades to mimic the reflections of the sky.
Add Ripples: Use a detail brush to paint light ripples and sparkles on the water surface, reflecting the sunlight.

Step 4: Foreground Rocks and Vegetation

Paint Rocks: Mix purples, grays, and browns, applying them with a round brush to form the rocks. Add highlights and shadows to give them a three-dimensional appearance.
Incorporate Vegetation: Use greens, reds, and oranges to depict grasses and foliage. Use a variety of brush sizes for texture, layering strokes to add depth.

Step 5: Final Touches

Refine Details: Use a detail brush to refine key areas, adjusting colors and adding highlights where needed.
Enhance Contrast: Deepen shadows and heighten highlights to create visual interest and depth.

Completion

Stand back and examine your painting. Adjust any areas as necessary, ensuring the composition captures the vibrancy and beauty of the Isle of Harris. Allow to dry, and your masterpiece is ready to display!
