Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints (as per your choice)
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Canvas
  • Palette and palette knife (for mixing)
  • Mediums (if using oil paints)
  • Water or solvent (for cleaning brushes)

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

Your Paint-Your-Own Pack includes a line drawing and an artist's grid to ensure composition accuracy. Use these tools to transfer the basic layout onto your canvas:

  1. Start by placing the grid over your canvas and, using the line drawing as a reference, sketch the main elements of the painting with a light pencil.
  2. Focus on key features such as the waterfalls, rocks, and surrounding trees.

Painting Steps

1. Establishing the Background

  1. Sky: Use a large flat brush to apply a light wash of sky blue. Blend in some white to create a gradient toward the horizon.
  2. Mountains: Paint the distant mountains with muted purples and grays, capturing their subtle contours.

2. Blocking in Major Shapes

  1. Mix earthy greens and ochres to block in the trees and ground around the waterfall using a medium flat brush.
  2. Apply bold orange and yellow accents to suggest sunlight hitting the landscape.

3. Painting the Waterfall and Stream

  1. Use a round brush to paint the cascading water with a mix of blues and whites, adding highlights to capture the water’s movement.
  2. Blend greens and blues in the stream, using horizontal strokes to suggest the water’s reflective surface.

4. Adding Details

  1. Rocks: Use a palette knife to apply gray and white paint to create the texture of the rocks. Add darker accents for shadows.
  2. Trees and Foliage: With a detail brush, paint in the tree trunks and branches using deep browns, and add splashes of leafy green touches.

5. Final Touches and Highlights

  • Add highlights to the water and rocks by using small, precise strokes with a fine brush.
  • Enhance areas in sunlight with some vibrant yellow or orange to give the painting a warm glow.
  • Review your work from a distance to ensure a balanced composition.

Enjoy the process of bringing this beautiful Scottish landscape to life. Take your time, and feel free to interpret the scene with your own artistic flair!
