  • Brushes: Medium flat, round, and detail brushes.
  • Canvas or paper: Prepare as per your preference.
  • Palette for mixing colors.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and grid versions are designed to help you accurately capture the composition of The Cairnwell. Use the grid to align your sketch with the original painting, ensuring proportional accuracy.

  1. Sketch the Outline
    • Start by using the provided line drawing to outline the main shapes of the hills and valley.
    • Utilize the grid version to ensure your proportions and alignments match the source image. Lightly sketch these outlines on your canvas.
  2. Block in the Sky
    • Mix a pale blue with touches of white to create a soft sky color.
    • With a medium flat brush, apply this color to the sky area, using smooth, horizontal strokes for a seamless blend.
    • Blend some white into the sky near the horizon to add depth and dimension, capturing the misty quality of the scene.
  3. Paint the Distant Hills
    • Mix shades of blue and green to create a gentle gradient.
    • Begin with the lightest shade for the distant hills, applying with a medium brush to capture the hazy appearance.
    • Use progressively darker shades as you move forward, giving the sense of depth and distance.
  4. Add the Foreground
    • For the foreground, mix greens with touches of yellow to brighten the grass.
    • Apply with sweeping horizontal strokes to create the flowing grassland.
    • Add darker shades along the horizon line and near the bottom to create contrast and texture.
  5. Detailing and Finishing Touches
    • Use a detail brush to add subtle shadows and highlights, enhancing the contours of the hills.
    • Adjust any colors to balance the composition, referring back to the color wheel as needed.
    • Step back occasionally to ensure the whole scene feels cohesive and balanced.

Once completed, your painting of The Cairnwell should echo the tranquil beauty and soft hues of the Highlands, offering both a sense of achievement and a stunning piece of art.
