  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Canvas or thick paper
  • Brush set (various sizes)
  • Palette for mixing colors

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by transferring the line drawing onto your canvas. Utilize the artist's grid provided in the Paint-Your-Own Pack to maintain composition accuracy. Align each section of your grid on the drawing with the corresponding area on your canvas.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Preparation
    • Start with a light base wash over the entire canvas using diluted blue or gray to set the background tone.
    • Allow this to dry completely before proceeding.
  2. Sky and Mountains
    • Paint the sky with a blend of white and light gray, adding hints of blue and purple near the top.
    • Define the mountains with varying shades of gray, highlighting the snowy peaks with white.
    • Add shadows with deeper grays to create contrast and depth.
  3. Hills and Terrain
    • Mix greens and browns for the rolling hills, using a darker green for shadows and lighter tones for sunlit areas.
    • Incorporate bits of ochre and yellow to highlight patches of light.
  4. River and Waterfalls
    • Layer turquoise and blue tones to capture the vibrant river, using swift horizontal strokes for water texture.
    • Highlight the surface of the water with white to mimic reflections and motion.
  5. Foreground and Rocks
    • Use browns and grays to depict rocks, adding hints of red and burnt umber to suggest natural coloration.
    • Apply lighter shades for sunlit tops and darker tones for the shaded undersides.
  6. Detailing and Final Touches
    • Go over the landscape, refining details and adding small highlights to accentuate texture.
    • Use a thin brush for finer elements like blades of grass.
    • Step back and assess your painting, adding any final adjustments to balance the overall composition.
