Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or art paper
Acrylic paints: (refer to color wheel for specific shades)
Brushes: broad flat brush, medium round brush, and fine detail brush
Palette knife (optional)
Water and palette for mixing paints
Protective sheet or apron

Preparation

Firstly, gather all the materials. Review the source painting image included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack to familiarize yourself with the composition and color scheme. Set up your painting area comfortably with good lighting.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Use the provided line drawings as a reference to sketch the main outlines of Edinburgh Castle on your canvas. If you prefer precision, overlay the grid version to help place key elements accurately. This will serve as a solid foundation for your painting.

Step 1: Background Layer

Start with the sky. Use a broad flat brush to apply a base of deep blue across the top portion of your canvas, using long, sweeping strokes to mimic the sky in the painting.
Blend lighter blues as you move downward to create a gradation effect. Feel free to introduce touches of white to vary the intensity of the blue.

Step 2: Establish the Castle

Switch to your medium round brush. Using the line drawing as a guide, start adding shapes of the castle with pale beige and cream tones. This will help the structure stand out against the sky.
Add subtle details with darker shades, indicating windows and shadowed areas.

Step 3: Add Vibrancy and Depth

Introduce bold orange and yellow tones to the lower half of the canvas. Use a palette knife or brush to apply these colors with dynamic strokes, reflecting the vibrancy seen in the painting.
Allow some colors to drip down slightly, adding texture and movement to the piece.
Incorporate bolder black and grey strokes around the castle and across the canvas, capturing the painting’s abstract elements.

Step 4: Details and Final Touches

Use a fine detail brush to refine the castle’s edges and any intricate architectural features you wish to highlight.
Evaluate the painting for balance. Enhance any areas with additional color or detail as needed.
Allow the painting to dry completely before framing or displaying.
