Materials Needed

  • Canvas
  • Acrylic paints (Colors based on included color wheel)
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Pencil
  • Palette
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

  1. Set up your workspace with good lighting and lay out your materials.
  2. Use the provided line drawing to lightly sketch the main outlines of the composition on your canvas.
  3. Alternatively, use the artist's grid provided to ensure accuracy in proportions and perspectives.

Step 2: Start with the Sky

  1. Mix a light blue using the color wheel as a reference. Apply it using a broad brush with horizontal strokes for smoothness.
  2. Add whites and subtle variations to create a sense of depth and movement.

Step 3: Paint the Mountain

  1. Switch to a medium brush and start with the mountain’s base color using deep reds and oranges.
  2. Use bold, sweeping strokes to capture the sense of structure and form.
  3. Layer darker and lighter shades to add dimension and suggest the mountain’s textures.

Step 4: Work on the Foreground

  1. Utilize the warm yellow and green tones from the color palette to fill in the field areas.
  2. Use a combination of vertical and diagonal brush strokes to convey the landscape’s natural flow.
  3. Add highlights and shadows to bring out the vibrancy and depth in this part of the painting.

Step 5: Details and Finishing Touches

  1. Go back to the mountain and foreground to refine any areas that need stronger contrasts or more vibrant colors.
  2. Use a fine brush for any small details or lines to sharpen the composition’s features.
  3. Step back regularly to ensure a balanced and cohesive outcome.

Step 6: Final Review

  1. Once satisfied, allow your painting time to dry completely.
  2. Review your work against the source image to appreciate your personal interpretation and adjustments.

Enjoy the satisfaction of bringing a piece of Scotland’s breathtaking landscape to life through your artistic expression. Each brush stroke you apply contributes to the dynamic interplay of colors and forms, culminating in a unique masterpiece of your own.
