Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Clachan Bridge beautifully captures the serene harmony between nature and architecture. The bridge, an iconic piece of infrastructure, elegantly arches over the calm waters, its white stone surface contrasting against the vibrant and abstract surrounding landscape. The scene is imbued with rich, bold colours—a dynamic orange sky that transitions into soft blues and teals in the water, framed by lush green and deep blue hills. The style is contemporary with a touch of abstraction, characterized by expressive brush strokes and a vivid color palette. This makes for an engaging visual experience that invites both introspection and admiration for the picturesque Scottish landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints: White, black, orange, red, blue, teal, yellow, green
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water cup and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Easel (optional)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The optional grid and line drawings included in your pack can help ensure accurate proportions and composition. Begin by lightly sketching the main elements onto your canvas using the line drawing as a reference. If you are using the grid, divide your canvas into corresponding sections to guide your placement of shapes and lines.

Step 1: Background and Sky

  1. Mix the sky colors: Blend white with a small amount of orange to create a soft, warm orange hue for the sky.
  2. Apply the sky: Using a large flat brush, paint the sky in broad, expressive strokes. Keep the top third of the canvas for this. Allow it to gradually become lighter towards the horizon.

Step 2: Hills and Landscape

  1. Mix the hill colors: Combine blue with green and a hint of black to achieve a deep teal color.
  2. Paint the hills: With a flat brush, apply the color to the hills, starting from the edges of the canvas and working towards the center, following the contours in the line drawing.

Step 3: The Bridge

  1. Mix the bridge colors: Use white with a touch of black for a stone-like appearance.
  2. Paint the bridge: With a detail brush, carefully outline and fill the arch of the bridge. Use bold, confident strokes to enhance its solid structure.

Step 4: Water Reflection

  1. Mix water colors: Blend teal with touches of white and blue for the water's hue.
  2. Apply the water: Use horizontal strokes to suggest the flow of the water beneath the bridge. Add hints of orange and red for reflections near the edges.

Step 5: Foreground and Details

  1. Add foreground colors: Use bright reds and oranges for the foreground elements, applied with a flat brush for boldness.
  2. Detail the landscape: With a detail brush, refine the land and water borders, and add small touches to emphasize the abstract nature of the painting.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Enhance contrast: Use a small amount of black to deepen shadows under the bridge and on the hills.
  2. Refine edges: Clean up any lines with a detail brush where needed and add highlights with white for emphasis.
  3. Review and adjust: Step back and view your painting from a distance. Make any adjustments in colour or composition as necessary.
