Setting Up

Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure good lighting and organize your materials.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The Grid aids in accurately placing elements. Align the grid on the drawn canvas with the grid version provided. Use this to assess proportion and alignment.

Painting Steps

1. Background and Sky

Base Layer: Use a flat brush to apply a light blue and white mixture for the sky.
Blending: While the paint is wet, blend lighter tones into the horizon to suggest depth and light.
Clouds: With a round brush, use white and hints of gray for the clouds, working in circular motions for softness.

2. Mountains

Far Mountains: Use a mix of blues and grays. Apply with a flat brush, focusing on the silhouette and gradual tonal changes.
Near Mountains: Gradually darken the color mix. Add subtle brush strokes for texture and dimension.

3. River and Valley

River Outline: Using a small brush, sketch the winding river with white or light blue.
Water Shading: Apply varied shades of blue, integrating some green to reflect the surrounding earth.
Valley Base: Paint the base with earthy greens and browns. Use horizontal strokes to depict the grassy terrain.
Path and Rocks: Highlight paths with lighter colors and add darker tones for rocks and shadows.

4. Final Touches

Highlights and Shadows: Add highlights to areas where light strikes most directly. Use darker tones to accentuate shadows for depth.
Details: Refine outlines and add small elements like distant trees or bush textures.

Finishing

Reassess Proportions: Cross-reference with your grid to ensure composition accuracy.
Varnish: Once dry, apply a protective varnish to enhance color vibrancy and preservation.

Enjoy bringing Glen Shiel’s tranquil beauty to life and celebrate your creative accomplishment!
