Begin by applying a light pink wash to the sky area using wide, smooth brushstrokes. This will serve as the backdrop for the mountain. Allow it to dry.
Start with the dark blues to define the main body of the mountain. Use bold, sweeping strokes to mimic the natural contours and maintain the semi-abstract feel.
Introduce the vibrant yellows and greens on the lower slopes to depict sunlight catching the greenery. Use a smaller brush to feather these colors into the blue areas.
Focus on the dramatic strokes and drips of pink and darker hues on the peaks. Allow these details to appear fluid and organic.
Soften the transitions between colors by lightly blending where different colors meet. Enhance any shadows or highlights as desired.
Once fully dry, add any final touches or details. Ensure the painting has a harmonious balance and the mountain's majesty is captured.
The artist's grid version included in your pack can be used to transfer the image onto your canvas with improved accuracy. Align the grid to match your canvas proportion, and use it as a guide to plot key features and maintain the proportions of Beinn Narnain.
