Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Dundee, Scotland, offers a vibrant and dynamic view of the cityscape, set against the serene backdrop of the Scottish landscape. The artist's bold use of vibrant yellows, reds, blues, and soft earth tones brings the bustling city alive, contrasting beautifully with the calm blues and grays of the distant hills and sky. The composition is a striking mix of geometric forms and abstract color blocks, giving a sense of both realism and modern art style. The prominent spire and the patchwork of colorful rooftops encapsulate Dundee's unique charm.

Painting Guide

Preparation

  • Set up your workspace with your Paint-Your-Own Pack, including the source image, line drawings, sketches, and grid.
  • Arrange your paints according to the provided color wheel, ensuring the most-used colors are easily accessible.
  • Prepare brushes of various sizes for different detailing needs.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sketch the Composition

  1. Use the grid version to outline key elements - the spire, rooftops, and the horizon line.
  2. Lightly pencil in the basic shapes for the buildings and the background hills.
  3. Ensure proportional accuracy by aligning with the grid lines provided in your pack.

2. Block in Background Colors

  1. Begin with the sky: use light blues, transitioning to soft whites and grays.
  2. Apply broad strokes for the hills in the distance, mixing navy and teal shades.
  3. Paint the water with gentle strokes, utilizing lighter blues to suggest sunlight reflections.

3. Develop the Cityscape

  1. Start from the top of the buildings downwards, using whites and creams to capture sunlight on the rooftops.
  2. Use reds, yellows, and oranges to fill in the vibrant front buildings, maintaining the bold block style.
  3. Outline major details, like windows and doors, using finer brushes.

4. Add Detail and Depth

  1. Darken shadows and define edges on the buildings for depth using black and dark grays.
  2. Add small, impressionistic dabs of color to indicate complex textures like trees and distant roofs.
  3. Revisit the spire and foreground to sharpen any details, ensuring it remains a focal point.

5. Final Adjustments

  • Step back and review your painting, ensuring balance in tones and colors.
  • Apply any necessary touch-ups, focusing on transitions between different color blocks.
  • Let the painting dry thoroughly before framing or displaying.

Enjoy your unique recreation of Dundee's lively cityscape, with its captivating harmony of colors and textures!
