Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints based on the supplied color wheel
  • Paintbrushes (various sizes)
  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Preparation and Initial Sketch

  1. Study the Source Image: Begin by observing the included painting image. Note the positioning of key elements like mountains, sun, and river. Pay attention to color gradients and blending.
  2. Grid Setup: If using the grid version, align it over your canvas to ensure composition accuracy. This will assist in achieving proportionality and placement.
  3. Pencil Sketch: Use the line drawing provided to sketch the outlines of major forms. Focus on the mountains, river lines, and general positions of clouds and sun.

Sky and Clouds

  1. Background Layer: Start with the sky by applying a base coat of pale blues and oranges. Mix colors for smooth gradients, keeping darker tones towards the top and brighter ones near the sun.
  2. Cloud Formation: With a medium brush, introduce clouds using circular motions. Use lighter tones for upper clouds and slightly darker shades for the bottom to create depth.
  3. Highlighting and Shadows: Use white and a touch of grey to add highlights and shadows to the clouds, enhancing the three-dimensional effect.

Mountains and Landscape

  1. Mountain Base Colors: Block in the mountains using dark blues and greens from your palette. Define the mountain ridges and valley contours.
  2. Detailing: Add layers to the mountains using lighter and darker hues to show light and shadow variations.
  3. Foreground Vegetation: Paint the grassy foreground with rich greens, adding texture with a stippling technique.

Sun and Water

  1. Solar Glow: With a clean brush, paint the sun with a bright white or pale yellow, ensuring sharp, clean edges. Feather the edges slightly to simulate a glow.
  2. Water Reflection: For the river, use a mix of colors from the sky and surroundings, applying horizontal strokes to mimic reflections. Add darker tones for shadows beneath rocks.
  3. Rock Details: Paint rocks using dark tones, and add lighter touches for highlights where the sun might catch the surface.

Final Touches and Detailing

  1. Add Depth: Introduce more detailed shading and highlighting to refine the textures of all the elements. Use smaller brushes for detail work.
  2. Check Colors: Compare your work with the color wheel and source image. Make adjustments to ensure hues are harmonious and vibrant.
  3. Review and Finish: Step back and view your painting as a whole. Make any necessary adjustments to balance and unify the composition.
