Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Set amidst the dramatic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, the painting of Glencoe captivates with its breathtaking beauty. A serene river meanders through the valley, reflecting the vibrant hues of the sky. The majestic mountains frame the scene, their silhouettes softened by the light of a setting sun that bathes the clouds in warm tones of orange, pink, and purple. The verdant greenery of the foreground contrasts with the deep blue of the shadows, creating a dynamic interplay of light and dark. This painting is a splendid blend of tranquil nature and vivid color, capturing the ethereal charm of Glencoe.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Brushes: Large flat, medium filbert, small detail brush
  • Palette

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with ample light.
  2. Ensure all your materials are within reach.
  3. Print out the line drawing or grid version from your Paint-Your-Own Pack for reference.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

You can use the line drawing as an initial sketch on your canvas. If you're aiming for precise composition, employ the grid method by lightly sketching a grid on your canvas to match the grid on the reference image. This will assist with positioning key elements accurately.

Step 1: Sky and Background

  1. Mix Colors: Begin by mixing white with a small amount of pink and orange to create a soft pastel tone for the sky.
  2. Paint the Sky: Using a large flat brush, apply the pastel mix across the upper part of the canvas, blending into light blues towards the horizon.
  3. Add Clouds: Introduce touches of purple and orange with a filbert brush, lightly blending to add depth and texture.

Step 2: Mountains

  1. Base Layer: Mix blue with a hint of purple for the mountains. Paint their outlines, using a medium brush to create soft edges.
  2. Add Shadow: Deepen the mixture with more purple for shadowed areas, applying with a filbert brush for smooth blending.

Step 3: River and Foreground

  1. River Reflection: Mix white with a bit of blue and orange. Apply horizontally with a flat brush, capturing the sky’s reflection.
  2. Foreground Details: Use green and yellow for the grassy patches in the lower foreground, adding texture with a small detail brush.
  3. Rocks and Water: Darken blues and purples for rocks. Add highlights with white and a touch of blue.

Step 4: Final Touches

  1. Enhance Lighting: Add touches of bright orange and pink where the light hits the valley and river reflections.
  2. Detailing: Use a small brush for additional detailing on the mountains and river ripples.
  3. Final Adjustments: Step back to assess the balance of color and composition. Add any final touches as needed.
