Drawing the Composition

  1. Grid or Freehand: Use the artist's grid for accuracy, or transfer the line drawing to the canvas freehand, keeping proportions correct.
  2. Outline Key Elements: Begin by lightly sketching the mountains, river, and tree line.

Painting the Sky

  1. Background Wash: Start with a thin wash of yellows and oranges, blending smoothly for the sky.
  2. Sun and Clouds: Paint the circular sun using white with hints of yellow. Add cloud layers using soft brushstrokes in grey and white.

Mountains and Foreground

  1. Mountains: Mix dark blues and purples for the shadowed areas of the mountains. Apply with flat brush strokes.
  2. Light Reflection: Use light strokes of white and light purple for highlights on the mountain peaks.
  3. Foreground Layer: Apply rich reds and oranges for the trees using swift, directional brushstrokes to create texture.
  4. River: Paint the river with blues and greens, blending in reflections of the sky and surrounding foliage with smooth strokes.

Adding Details

  1. Refining Trees: Switch to a detail brush to add depth with darker reds and blacks, creating texture in the foliage.
  2. Grass and Highlights: Add greens and yellows to the path of grass, and use a dabbing technique for the autumn leaves.

Final Touches

  1. Depth and Texture: Complement the vibrant elements with darker tones under the trees and mountains to increase depth.
  2. Review and Adjust: Stand back to analyze your painting, making any necessary adjustments for balance and color harmony.

Enjoy the process of bringing the mystical landscape of Glencoe to life on your canvas, and feel the awe of the Scottish Highlands with each brushstroke.
