Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings provided offer a simplified outline of the painting to guide your composition. The optional grid helps ensure proportion and perspective accuracy. Use these tools to transfer the basic shapes and lines onto your canvas.

Painting Steps

  1. Prepare Your Canvas
    • Set up your canvas with the line drawing or grid overlay.
    • Sketch lightly using a pencil if desired.
  2. Background and Sky
    • Mix a light gray color using white and a hint of black.
    • With a flat brush, paint the sky in smooth horizontal strokes, creating a gradient effect from light to slightly darker gray as you reach the mountains.
  3. Mountain Ranges
    • Mix various shades of gray, gradually darkening the mix for each layer further back.
    • Use a combination of flat and round brushes to create the mountain shapes, layering lighter gray in the background and darker hues toward the foreground.
    • Add soft strokes to suggest mist and atmospheric perspective, blurring the lines between some mountain ridges.
  4. Forests
    • Using a darker gray, paint the outline of the trees, focusing on shapes and density without getting caught up in details.
    • Transition to black for shadows and to increase depth as you move to the foreground.
    • Vary your brush strokes to depict different tree types and textures.
  5. The Stag
    • Outline the stag using the darkest black for its silhouette, highlighting its powerful antlers against the lighter background.
    • Use detailing brushes to refine the antlers and facial features.
    • Add subtle highlights with a very light gray to suggest form and shadow on the stag's body.
  6. Final Touches and Refinements
    • Review your painting, adjusting values to ensure the stag stands out prominently.
    • Blend transitions between the mountain layers and forest to enhance depth and atmosphere.
    • Use a small brush to refine any final details across the composition.

Finishing Up

Step back and view your painting from a distance to assess composition and contrast. Make any adjustments as necessary, ensuring a cohesive and balanced artwork.
