Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant essence of "Old Brig O'Dee" with its captivating blend of abstract and realism. The painting captures the historical bridge in a modern artistic style, marked by bold brushstrokes and a dynamic colour palette. Dominated by soft pinks and vibrant blues, the bridge arches stand strong against a bright, expressive sky, with splashes of yellow, orange, and black adding depth and contrast. The reflection of the bridge in the river serves as a focal point, drawing the eye to the lower half of the painting where colours blend seamlessly.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

  1. Gather Materials: Ensure you have all paints from the provided colour palette, brushes, and canvas ready.
  2. Review Pack: Familiarize yourself with the source image, line drawings, and optional grid.
  3. Set Up Canvas: Use the artists grid to lightly pencil in key sections of the bridge and surroundings on your canvas to aid composition accuracy.

Background and Sky

  1. Start with the Sky: Begin by applying the soft pink hue across the upper section of the canvas using a broad brush. Blend in slight variations of pink and lighter tones to add texture.
  2. Add Layers: Allow the first layer to dry. Add a second layer, focusing on smooth transitions and blending in small areas of different shades for dynamic effect.

Structures and Bridge

  1. Outline the Bridge: Use the line drawings from the pack to outline the bridge arches and the building outlines. This structure will guide your paint application.
  2. Paint the Bridge: Mix whites and grays for the stone texture, applying with medium brush strokes. Add darker accents for shadows and depth.
  3. Building Details: Apply a mixture of orange and black for the buildings, allowing some of the underdrawings to show through to maintain texture.

Water Reflection and Foreground

  1. Water Base Layer: Begin by applying a light blue over the river area, extending slightly above the baseline of the bridge to suggest reflection.
  2. Add Details: Once dry, incorporate strokes of green and yellow alongside darker shades to mimic water's movement and light play.
  3. Enhance with Highlights: Use lighter colors to streak reflections of the bridge and sky onto the water.

Final Touches

  1. Enhance Texture: Use a dry brush technique with limited pigment to emphasize existing textures by brushing lightly over the painted surface.
  2. Accentuate Borders: Use small amounts of black to redefine edges and enhance contrast where necessary.
  3. Finishing Features: Make small adjustments to ensure the overall balance of the composition and let your work dry completely.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

  • Line Drawings: These serve as a foundation, helping you map out the major compositional elements.
  • Grid Usage: Perfect for ensuring proportional accuracy, align key elements with the grid lines on both your canvas and the line drawings as a guide.

With patience and attention to detail, you'll capture the modern essence of "Old Brig O'Dee," creating an artwork that's both accurate and uniquely your own.
