Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of River Orchy captures the breathtaking beauty of a Scottish landscape at sunset. A lone figure stands serenely on a rock, casting a line into the shimmering water that reflects the vibrant hues of the sky. The composition is dominated by dramatic shades of orange, purple, and blue, creating a striking contrast between the warmth of the sunset and the coolness of the mountains and water. The style is bold and expressive, using sweeping brushstrokes to convey movement and emotion.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or heavy paper
Acrylic or oil paints
Brushes: flat, filbert, and round
Palette knife
Palette for mixing colors
Water cup (for acrylics) or medium (for oils)
Paper towels or rags

1. Preparing Your Workspace

Ensure your workspace is well-lit and that you have all your materials ready. Have your Paint-Your-Own Pack open, including the source image, line drawing, and colour palette.

2. Planning Your Composition

Use the line drawing and/or grid provided in the pack to sketch the basic layout onto your canvas. The grid can help you get proportions accurate and ensure the figure and landscape are correctly placed.

3. Underpainting

Mix a neutral tone (light grey or brown) and lightly apply it to the canvas to cover the background.
This layer will help bring cohesion and a warmth to your painting.

4. Painting the Sky

Refer to your color wheel for guidance on the palette.
Start with the lightest sky area, using a blend of yellows and pale oranges.
Progress to darker tones such as deep purples and rich reds, using bold, expressive strokes to convey the swirling clouds.
Blend the edges where colors meet to create a seamless transition.

5. Forming the Mountains

Using blues and cool purples, block in the shapes of the distant mountains.
Apply lighter blue tones to indicate where the sun illuminates the peaks.
Use a palette knife to add texture and definition to the mountain ridges.

6. Detailing the Water

Reflect the sky colors into the river, focusing on areas directly under the sunset.
Use horizontal brushstrokes to mimic the water's surface.
Introduce dark lines and patches to represent the riverbed and depth.

7. Painting the Figure

With smaller brushes, detail the figure’s silhouette in muted tones to create contrast.
Focus on getting the posture correct to capture the tranquility of the moment.
Highlight with small touches of lighter colors to suggest sunlight hitting the figure.

8. Final Touches

Step back and assess your painting for balance and intensity.
Add any further highlights or shadows to enhance depth.
Tweak the reflections and consider if any areas need softening or enhancing.

9. Sealing the Painting

Once dry, apply a varnish if desired to protect your painting and bring out the vibrancy of the colors.
