Using Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grids included in your pack will help maintain accuracy in your composition. Start by lightly sketching the main outlines onto your canvas using the grid as a guide. This will ensure that key elements—such as the hills, trees, and the stream—are proportionally positioned.

Step-by-Step Painting Instructions

Sky and Hills
- Using a large brush, apply a base layer of light blue and white for the sky.
- Blend subtly to create soft cloud forms.
- For the hills, apply varying shades of blue, starting with light near the horizon and moving to darker tones.
- Use bold, sweeping motions to mimic the painting's dynamic brushwork.
Midground Trees and Fields
- Switch to a medium brush to fill in the trees with deep greens and occasional blacks for depth.
- Add the fields using bright yellows and greens, focusing a spotlight effect on areas of light interaction.
Foreground Stream and Rocks
- With a contrasting mix of whites and blues, paint the flowing stream.
- Highlight the movement of water using a palette knife or brush to create texture.
- Add rocks with strokes of gray, brown, and deep blue, blending carefully where water interacts with them.
Final Touches
- Inspect your painting for areas needing more contrast or definition.
- Use a smaller brush for any necessary detailing or highlights.
- Stand back and view your painting from a distance to ensure composition and color harmony.

Tips and Tricks

Utilize the color wheel included in the pack to match and blend colors accurately.
Don’t hesitate to explore textures with a palette knife for a more expressive finish.
Remember to let layers dry as needed to maintain clarity between different landscape elements.

Allow yourself to enjoy the process as you bring the beauty of Glen Esk to life on your canvas, celebrating both the journey and the destination in your artistic endeavor.
