Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints: Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, Brown, White, and Black.
  • Brushes: Flat, Round, and Fine Detail.
  • Canvas or painting paper.
  • Palette for mixing colors.
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes.

Step 1: Preparing the Canvas

  1. Set up your workspace with all materials within reach.
  2. Use the grid version from the Paint-Your-Own Pack to lightly sketch the outline of the scene onto your canvas. Align it carefully to ensure accuracy.
  3. Alternatively, use the line drawings if preferred, making sure the key elements are in place.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

  1. Begin with the sky by mixing blue and white to create soft, varied shades.
  2. Use broad strokes with a flat brush to apply this across the upper portion of the canvas, blending in some grey for cloud highlights.

Step 3: Mountains and Background

  1. Mix shades of blue and purple for the distant mountains, applying them with a flat brush.
  2. Add depth with darker tones on the shadowed sides, using a smaller brush for more defined lines.
  3. For the mid-range mountains, incorporate orange and brown, creating highlights with a lighter mix.

Step 4: Water and Reflections

  1. Mix various shades of blue for the water, from deep tones to lighter reflections.
  2. Use horizontal brushstrokes to mimic the water's texture, blending to reflect the colors of the sky and surroundings.
  3. Add subtle white highlights to indicate the movement on the water's surface.

Step 5: Foreground and Details

  1. Incorporate earthy tones of green and brown for the foreground landscape.
  2. Use a fine detail brush to add texture to rocks and grass, blending with orange for a dynamic look.
  3. Highlight select areas with touches of white to represent light hitting the landscape.

Step 6: Final Adjustments

  1. Step back to assess the overall balance of color and form.
  2. Make any adjustments needed for contrast and detail, ensuring a cohesive composition.
  3. Allow to dry completely before displaying your recreated masterpiece.

Using the included color wheel, identify the most used colors to keep consistency with the original painting. Refer to the sketches for guidance, adjusting your stroke direction and blending techniques to achieve a similar dynamic effect.
