Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in a captivating portrayal of Glasgow, an enchanting cityscape captured from an intricate, elevated vantage point. A solitary figure stands poised, their back to us, drawing the viewer's gaze outward toward the sprawling urban landscape. The muted yet vibrant color palette—a harmonious blend of blues, oranges, and greens—captures the essence of the city’s architecture and skyline under a vast sky. The artistic style combines elements of impressionism and expressionism, showcasing a keen eye for both detail and emotion.

Acrylic paints matching the provided color palette
Canvas or acrylic paper
Brushes (small round, medium flat, large flat)

Getting Started

Prepare Your Workspace:
- Set up your easel or workspace so that you have plenty of light and room to move.
- Lay out your colors and brushes, ensuring your printed resources are within easy reach.
Reference the Line Drawing:
- Place the line drawing on your canvas using light pencil marks or transfer paper to maintain accurate proportions.
- The grid version can help you keep your perspective correct, aligning key features accurately.

Painting the Sky

Mix Sky Colors:
- Refer to the color wheel to mix an appropriate sky blue with hints of teal for variation.
Apply the Sky:
- Use a large flat brush to apply your sky mix, starting from the top and working downward in smooth, horizontal strokes.
- Introduce lighter tones as you approach the horizon, mimicking daylight fading into the distance.

Painting the Cityscape

Block in Major Shapes:
- Use a medium flat brush to fill in the basic shapes of the buildings with the base colors, which are derived from mixes of orange, browns, and deep blues.
- Build the foreground structures with darker tones, ensuring a gradient leading into the background.
Add Architectural Details:
- With a small round brush, refine the edges and add key architectural highlights.
- Use the artist's grid to accurately place spires, window lines, and other elements.

Painting the Figure

Base Layer for the Figure:
- Apply an even coat of white for the dress with a medium brush.
Add Shadows and Highlights:
- Mix subtle shades of gray for shadows on the clothing, applying with a small brush for more control.
- Use a fine brush to detail the curves and form of the figure's dress and outline hair details.

Final Touches

Refine and Blend:
- Add final touches to blend areas where building edges meet the skyline, softening with a dry brush technique.
- Detail any additional features such as implied windows or roof textures.
Review and Adjust:
- Step back and review your work, making any necessary adjustments to balance color and composition.
- Ensure that transitions and visual flow guide the viewer smoothly through the painting.
