This painting blends simplicity with depth, offering tranquil tones of blues, grays, and creamy neutrals. The minimalist approach highlights geometric abstraction, enabling viewers to feel the quietude and vastness of the landscape.

Materials Needed

Paint-Your-Own Pack (includes source image, line drawing, sketches, artist's grid, and color wheel)

Canvas or painting surface

Step-by-Step Painting Instructions

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Set up your canvas on an easel or flat surface. Ensure you have good lighting, and arrange your materials for easy access. Reference the source image and line drawings from your PDF pack.

2. Sketch the Composition

Use the provided line drawing as a reference to outline the primary geometric shapes of the landscape. You can use the grid included to maintain accurate proportions by marking similar grid lines on your canvas lightly with a pencil.

3. Establish Background Colors

Sky: Begin with the creamy off-white gradient of the sky. Use broad, sweeping strokes with a large flat brush. Mix small amounts of gray for a subtle gradient effect toward the top.
Mountains: Paint the distant hills using pale blue and gray tones. Create soft edges to suggest atmospheric perspective.

4. Develop Midground

Defining Hills: Progress to the slightly darker hills using muted blues and grays. Layer the colors to add depth while maintaining the smooth geometric edges.

5. Paint the Foreground

Foreground Hill: Use a darker shade of blue to paint the prominent hill in the foreground, emphasizing its broad and gentle curve. Maintain clean lines for a stark contrast against the softer background.

6. Final Details and Touches

Refine Edges: Carefully refine the edges of the hills and mountains using a fine-tipped brush to ensure the geometric sharpness and neatness typical of the style.
Balance and Harmony: Adjust any gradients or color transitions to ensure the painting feels balanced and harmonious.

7. Review and Reflect

Step back and review your painting from a distance. Make any necessary adjustments, ensuring that the colors and shapes reflect the serene and minimalistic beauty of Ben Macdui.

By following these steps and utilizing the tools provided, you can recreate the tranquil beauty of the Ben Macdui landscape, celebrating both the simplicity and depth of this stunning portrayal.
