Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Glencoe, Scotland with this vibrant and modernist interpretation. The painting captures the valley's sweeping landscapes through bold geometric shapes, invoking a sense of movement and energy. Dominated by warm hues of golden yellows, deep greens, and rich oranges, the artwork suggests the interplay of sunlight on the rolling hills and the winding river below. The sun, a radiant focal point, imposes a strong presence, highlighting the rhythmic flow of the landscape in a balanced symphony of color and form.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic paints (refer to included color palette)
  • Brushes in various sizes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Ruler and pencil (for grid and sketch)

Preparation

  1. Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure good lighting and arrange all materials within reach.
  2. Review the Reference Images: Familiarize yourself with the source painting and the provided line drawings.
  3. Use the Grid: If you're using the grid version, lightly sketch the grid on your canvas to assist with proportion accuracy. Each square should match the scale of the grid image included.

Sketching

  1. Outline the Landscape: Using the line drawing as a guide, lightly sketch the basic outlines of the hills, river, and sun onto your canvas.
  2. Focus on Shapes: Note the geometric shapes that compose the landscape. Simplify complex forms into basic geometric patterns, maintaining their proportions using the grid.

Painting the Sky and Sun

  1. Background Wash: Start with a light wash of warm yellow across the sky, avoiding the sun's area to preserve its brightness.
  2. Sun Rays: Using a small brush, paint the radiating circles around the sun with varying shades of orange and light yellow, blending softly into the sky.

Painting the Hills

  1. Base Layer: Begin with the hills in the foreground. Apply a base layer of dark green and muted yellow.
  2. Geometric Detailing: Add depth by painting the geometric shapes within each hill, using darker greens and bright oranges for contrast. Blend gently where necessary to maintain clean lines and form.

Painting the River

  1. Base Color: Paint an initial layer of light yellow mixed with white to form the river.
  2. Add Reflections: Incorporate subtle squares and rectangles of lighter hues to suggest sunlight reflecting off the water's surface.

Final Details

  1. Refine Edges: Use a fine brush to refine the edges between different colored areas, ensuring crisp lines.
  2. Adjust Highlights and Shadows: Apply additional layers of lighter or darker hues to enhance the sense of depth and light contrast.

Finishing Touches

  • Review the Image: Compare your painting with the reference. Make any necessary adjustments to color balance and detail.
  • Varnish: Once dry, consider applying a varnish to protect your painting (optional).

With care and attention to detail, your painting will come to life, celebrating the dynamic beauty and majesty of Glencoe.
