Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glencoe is a stunning blend of abstract and landscape art, capturing the majestic mountains of Scotland against a vivid, surreal sun. The warm hues of orange, yellow, and red create a dramatic backdrop, while the cool blues and greys of the mountains and their reflections in still waters provide contrast and depth. The artistic style combines geometric shapes with natural forms, creating a sense of both tranquility and energy.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints: Refer to the included colour wheel for the palette.
  • Brushes: Flat and round brushes of various sizes.
  • Canvas
  • Palette
  • Cup of water for rinsing brushes
  • Paper towels
  • Easel (optional)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and grid can help you accurately place each element of the painting. Start by lightly sketching the key outlines on your canvas using the grid as a reference. This will assist in maintaining the geometric precision of the composition.

Painting Steps

  1. Prepare Your Canvas:
    • Set up your easel and ensure your canvas is secure.
    • Apply a light wash of water over the canvas to make the paint application smoother.
  2. Sketch the Layout:
    • Using the line drawings and grid, lightly sketch the main outlines: the sun, mountains, and their reflections.
    • Focus on capturing the symmetry and balance between the two halves of the painting.
  3. Paint the Background:
    • Start with the sky. Use warm hues from the color palette like red, orange, and yellow to create the gradient sun.
    • Blend colors smoothly to achieve the radiant effect behind the mountains.
  4. Paint the Mountains:
    • Switch to cool tones for the mountains and their reflections. Use blues, greys, and blacks.
    • Focus on the layered look of the mountains, using darker shades to create depth.
  5. Create Reflections:
    • Paint the reflection in the water by mirroring the color palette and shapes of the mountains.
    • Gently drag the brush horizontally to replicate the water’s surface texture.
  6. Final Details:
    • Add any final details such as the rock patterns and tree outlines using a fine brush.
    • Ensure symmetry and adjust any colors for balance.
  7. Finishing Touches:
    • Let the painting dry completely.
    • Add a protective sealant if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Work from light to dark colors to add layers effectively.
  • Keep your brushes clean to maintain color purity.
  • Refer to the colour wheel regularly to ensure accurate color mixing and application.

Enjoy the process and let your creativity guide you as you bring this vivid representation of Glencoe to life!
