Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Stonehaven, where a serene night captures the majesty of the Northern Lights. In this painting, a couple sits peacefully on a rocky outcrop, bathed in the glowing light of the aurora. The sky is a symphony of blues and greens, stars twinkling against the infinite depths above. The water reflects this celestial display with gentle ripples that lead the eye toward the horizon. The scene is a marriage of nature’s vast beauty and human intimacy, presented in a style that plays with light, shadow, and reflection.

Preparation

Review the Pack: Open your Paint-Your-Own Pack and familiarize yourself with the source image, line drawings, and sketches.
Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure good lighting and organize your materials.
Use the Grid: If accuracy is a priority, use the grid version for your composition. This will help place key elements correctly.

Painting Process

Background and Sky

Base Layer: Use a large brush to lay down a gradient of dark blue to green, replicating the night sky.
Starry Night: Add small dots for stars with a fine brush to give depth to the sky.
Aurora Effect: With vertical strokes, apply lighter shades of green and blue to create the Northern Lights, blending gently for softness.

Mountain Silhouettes

Define the Edges: Use the line drawings to outline the mountains on each side.
Fill in Shadows: Paint with deep blues and blacks to create a silhouette effect, allowing it to contrast with the sky.

Couple on the Rock

Outline Figures: Following the provided sketches, outline the couple sitting on the rock in the center.
Adding Detail: Fill in with dark colors for the figures and lighter strokes to suggest contours and details.

Water Reflection

Reflective Surface: Paint horizontal lines across the water to mimic reflections, using lighter colors near the center for the aurora's glow.
Enhance with Highlights: Add subtle white streaks across the water to enhance realism and movement.

Finishing Touches

Refine Edges: Use a small brush to clean up edges around the main elements for clarity.
Final Details: Add any additional highlights or shadows to ensure depth and contrast.
Review and Adjust: Stand back, review your work, and make any necessary adjustments for balance and harmony.
