Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

In this stunning depiction of Glen Strathfarrar, Scotland, vibrant hues merge to evoke the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. A vivid mix of pinks, yellows, and blues paints the landscape, while a winding stream cuts gracefully through the valley, embodying the raw energy and natural serenity of the scene. The mountains, cloaked in bold pinks and soft blues, create a striking backdrop that contrasts with the sunlit valley, enhanced by dramatic highlights and shadows. This painting's contemporary style captures the essence of Scotland’s wilderness, combining abstract forms with a real sense of place.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

  1. Gather Materials: Ensure you have all paints as indicated in the provided colour palette, brushes of various sizes, your printed line drawing, and a pencil.
  2. Working Area: Set up your easel or table ensuring good lighting. Tape your canvas or paper securely to your working surface.
  3. Review the Colour Wheel: Familiarize yourself with the most used colours in the painting to understand the colour dynamics.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawing: The line drawing provides the basic outlines of the key elements. If you're using the grid version, this will help maintain proportions accurately.

  • Transfer: Lightly sketch the line drawing onto your canvas using a pencil. If using the grid, count the number of squares to ensure elements are in the correct position.
  • Verify Composition: Ensure that you maintain the scale and placement of the mountains, valley, and stream.

Painting the Background

  1. Sky: Begin with the sky. Use a wide brush to apply gradations of soft blue and white, blending seamlessly to create a smooth transition.
  2. Mountains: Use vibrant pinks and soft blues. Apply the pinks on the top ridges, blending into blues towards the base to mimic the light play.

Creating the Valley

  1. Base Colours: Establish the valley with layers of yellow and orange. The brightness of the yellow captures the sunlit grasslands.
  2. Details and Highlights: With a smaller brush, add darker tones for shadows and highlights using a mix of yellow, orange, and red to create depth.

Painting the Stream

  1. Pathway: Using a fine brush, trace the stream’s winding path through the valley. Keep your colours light to reflect the water.
  2. Reflective Qualities: Incorporate white and hints of light blue to suggest reflections and movement in the water.

Final Details

  1. Enhance Textures: Use a mix of brushstrokes and colours to add texture to the mountains and valley, enhancing the sense of dimension.
  2. Final Touches: Review your work, adding any final adjustments or highlights, especially where light naturally hits the landscape.

Completion

Once your painting is complete, step back and observe the harmony of colours and forms. Adjust any areas if needed, allowing your painting to reflect the dynamic beauty of Glen Strathfarrar. Embrace both the process and the striking end result!
