Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting beautifully captures the serene yet dramatic essence of Glencoe, Scotland. With an awe-inspiring sunset as the backdrop, the vibrant oranges and yellows transition smoothly into deep purples and blues, casting the rugged landscape into a surreal silhouette. The reflection of the sun on the river adds a dynamic sense of movement, guiding the viewer's eye through the winding valley. The bold brushstrokes and contrasting colors reflect a semi-impressionistic style that conveys both the grandeur and tranquility of the landscape.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (based on your preference)
  • Brushes (variety of sizes, including flat and round)
  • Palette
  • Water or paint thinner (for acrylics or oils, respectively)
  • Cloth or paper towels

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

  1. Set up your canvas. Use a medium-sized canvas to capture the vastness of Glencoe.
  2. Imprint the grid. Use the artist’s grid provided in your PDF pack to replicate the proportions of the source image accurately. Use a light pencil for easy removal later.

Step 2: Preliminary Sketch

  1. Using the line drawing as a guide, lightly sketch the primary elements – mountains, river, and sky.
  2. Ensure the placement feels balanced according to the grid to maintain composition accuracy.

Step 3: Background Sky

  1. Mix warm hues. Use yellows and oranges for the sunset sky, gradually blending into reds.
  2. Apply these in horizontal strokes from the horizon upwards, softening into lighter shades as you go higher.
  3. Add a soft glow around the sun using a clean brush.

Step 4: Mountains and Valleys

  1. Begin with the silhouette of the mountains using deep blues and purples, capturing the mysterious shadows.
  2. Use a dry brush technique for texture and to suggest distant fading light on the ridges.
  3. Gradually darken towards the edges to add depth.

Step 5: River Reflections

  1. Paint the river in winding strokes. Begin with reflections of the sunset, using oranges and yellows.
  2. Add hints of blue and white to suggest the river’s movement.
  3. Focus on the interplay of light with gentle highlights using a small round brush for rippling effects.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Inspect your painting for any areas that need refining. Use small detail brushes for touching up highlights and adding texture to rocks.
  2. Enhance contrast if necessary by deepening shadows with a darker palette.
  3. Allow your painting to dry completely.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer to the colour wheel provided in your PDF pack for guidance on the primary colors used. This tool will help you maintain harmony and balance in your painting, ensuring that all hues complement each other as they do in the original artwork.
