Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Buachaille Etive Mòr in Scotland is a vibrant and dynamic portrayal of one of the most iconic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. The piece captures the grandeur and drama of the mountain with bold, expressive brushstrokes and an imaginative color palette. Rich blues and purples dominate the mountain itself, contrasted by vivid splashes of pink and orange, which suggest the interplay of light at dawn or dusk. The foreground features a reflective water surface rendered in lively mustard yellows and intense greens, peaceably disrupted by expressive drips of dark hues. The sky is a soft, atmospheric blend of pale blues and yellows, further enhancing the painting's dramatic essence and depth. This artwork is characterized by its abstract, impressionistic style, inviting viewers to experience the raw and majestic beauty of Buachaille Etive Mòr through a modern lens.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic paints
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Palette
  • Water cup for rinsing brushes
  • Rag or paper towels
  • Easel (optional)

Step 1: Setting Up Your Composition

Begin by printing out the provided line drawing or artists' grid version. Use this as a guide for sketching your initial composition on the canvas. You can replicate the grid on your canvas using light pencil marks to ensure accuracy and proportion.

Step 2: Background and Sky

  1. Mix pale blues and yellows to create the sky's gradient. Start from the top of the canvas, blending downward for a seamless transition from light blue to soft yellow.
  2. Apply these colors in horizontal strokes to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

Step 3: Painting the Mountain

  1. Use a bold, dark blue for the mountain's base color. Refer to your line drawing for accurate shape placement.
  2. Layer bright pinks and purples over this blue, allowing some areas to bleed into each other for a dynamic effect. Emphasize the mountain's contours and peaks.
  3. Add highlights with lighter purple and pink hues for depth.

Step 4: Foreground and Water Reflection

  1. Paint the foreground using mustard yellows and greens. Vary the tones and let some colors overlap to mimic natural variation in the landscape.
  2. Introduce darker drips and splashes to create texture and movement, capturing the abstract, expressive style of the original painting.

Step 5: Final Touches

  1. Refine the mountain's edge with precise brushstrokes, emphasizing areas of light and shadow.
  2. Introduce final touches to the sky and water, adding soft brushstrokes or splatters to capture light, wind, and reflections.
  3. Review your work, ensuring balance between colors and elements within your composition.

Using the Color Wheel

Refer to the color wheel included in your pack to select the appropriate hues for each section of the painting. Pay special attention to complementary and contrasting colors to enhance the painting’s vibrancy and depth.
