Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting depicting The Royal Mile in Scotland captures the bustling essence and architectural grandeur of one of Edinburgh's most famous streets. With a captivating use of vibrant colors and a dynamic perspective, the artwork portrays a silhouetted figure against a backdrop of historic buildings and glowing street lamps. The palette transitions from deep blues to fiery oranges and soft yellows, representing a blend of natural and artificial light as day transitions to night. The brushwork is expressive, creating movement and life within the composition.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or painting paper
Acrylic or oil paints (as per palette provided in the pack)
Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
Palette and palette knife
Water jar and paper towels (for acrylics) or mediums (for oils)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grids are designed to help you accurately sketch the composition. If you are new to freehand drawing, use the grid to map out the main shapes and proportions on your canvas. The line drawing sets the foundational outline over which you’ll develop the painting.

Painting Instructions

Background Wash:
Begin with a thin wash of light blue mixed with a touch of white to create the base sky tone. Apply this across the top half of the canvas to establish the distant atmosphere. Blend gently downwards to prepare for the warm glow at street level.
Build the Architecture:
Using a mid-sized flat brush, block in the basic shapes of the buildings with deep blues and purples. Refer to the line drawing for guidance. Apply orange hues to the buildings on the left, gradually blending in hints of red for depth and dimension.
Add Details and Reflections:
With a small detail brush, refine the architectural features, like windows and rooflines, using darker tones to enhance contrast. Mix a lighter variant of your sky mixture to suggest reflections on the pavement, intertwining with shadow lines.
Capture the Figures:
Use a dark mix of blues and reds to outline the central silhouetted figure. Keep the form simple and elegant, allowing the viewer's eye to rest on this focal point. Add small, expressive strokes for the background figures, maintaining a sense of movement.
Infuse the Glow of Light:
Focus on the streetlamp's warm glow, creating a halo of yellow and white. Blend softly into the surrounding areas to diffuse the light across nearby buildings and the pavement.
Final Touches:
Add highlights to the street and building edges to suggest interaction with light sources. Review your work, enhancing any areas lacking in vibrancy or depth, using the color wheel for reference.

Once complete, step back and admire how the vibrant interplay of light, shadow, and color has brought The Royal Mile to life.
