Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting portrays the breathtaking scenery of Glencoe in Scotland at dusk. The sun sets majestically behind the craggy mountains, casting a warm, golden glow across the landscape. The sky is ablaze with vibrant oranges and deep purples, while the winding river reflects the spectrum of the evening sky. This piece showcases a bold use of color and abstract form, capturing the dramatic essence and raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas
  • Brushes (small, medium, and large)
  • Acrylic paints (orange, yellow, blue, purple, red, black, white)
  • Pallet for mixing paints
  • Water container
  • Palette knife (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparation

Review the Line Drawings: Start by examining the included line drawing to understand the composition. Use the grid version if provided to help sketch the larger shapes onto your canvas.

Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure your canvas is secure and your paints are ready on the palette.

2. Background Sky

  • Sky Base: Begin with a large brush, applying a gradient from orange to purple to capture the vivid evening sky. Blend the colors smoothly using horizontal strokes.
  • Sun Glow: Using yellow and white, paint the glow around the sun, blending outward with soft strokes.

3. Mountains

  • Base Layers: Use deep purple and blue for the distant mountains, applying the paint thickly to add texture.
  • Highlights: Introduce lighter shades to the mountain ridges using a medium brush, focusing on areas where the sun’s light would hit.

4. Foreground and River

  • River Reflection: Paint the river with a mix of the sky colors, using gentle, flowing brush strokes to suggest movement and reflection.
  • Landforms: Use a combination of red, orange, and brown to create the vibrant land around the river’s edge. Use a small brush to define lines and shapes, mimicking the rugged terrain.

5. Final Details

  • Add Depth: Incorporate black for shadows in the mountains and along the riverbanks to add contrast and depth.
  • Touch Ups: Step back to view your painting as a whole. Make any adjustments to enhance color vibrancy and ensure smooth transitions.

6. Finishing Touch

Signature: Once satisfied, let your painting dry completely before signing your work.
