Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glencoe in Scotland beautifully captures the dramatic, rugged landscape of the Highlands. With towering mountains framing a vibrant valley, the scene evokes a sense of mystery and grandeur. The color palette is rich and bold, using deep blues, purples, and blacks for the mountains, contrasted by warm oranges and yellows in the valley and sky. The style is dynamic and expressive, with broad, sweeping brush strokes conveying the vastness and movement within the landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or thick paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (colors as per the color wheel in your pack)
  • Brushes: large flat brush, medium round brush, small detail brush
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water jar and cloth (for acrylics)
  • Palette knife (optional for texture)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Start by using the line drawings to sketch the basic outline of the composition onto your canvas. If you're using the grid version, align your canvas grid with the printed grid to ensure accurate placement of key elements like the mountains and valley.

Painting Steps

  1. Sky and Distant Mountains
    • Begin with a light wash of the sky, using pale yellows and soft blues. Work with the large flat brush to create smooth gradients.
    • For the distant mountains, use a mix of light purples and blues. Apply with broad strokes to suggest atmospheric perspective.
  2. Foreground Mountains
    • Use deep blues and purples to block in the mountain shapes on either side of the canvas.
    • Switch to a medium round brush, focusing on the dark shadows. Use sweeping diagonal strokes to follow the topography.
  3. Valley Highlights
    • Mix warm oranges, yellows, and reds to capture the valley's vivid light. Apply these with confident, thick strokes to convey the sunlit ground.
    • Use a palette knife if you wish to add texture and expressive energy to this area.
  4. Stream
    • For the stream, use light blues and whites. Start with the lightest areas using a small detail brush, then build the darker parts around to enhance depth.
    • Ensure the stream leads the viewer's eye into the painting, adding subtle curvature to its path.
  5. Final Details
    • Refine contrast and highlights across the composition. Add final touches to the mountain tops with lighter shades to depict distance and morning light.
    • Adjust and blend colors where necessary to ensure harmony across the painting.

Finishing Touches

Step back and review your work. Make any necessary adjustments to color balance and composition. Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying or framing.
