Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine standing amidst the serene beauty of Glen Esk in Scotland, captured in this expressively vibrant painting. The scene features gentle hills under a moody blue sky, lush greenery splashed with hints of autumn, and a river winding gracefully through the landscape. Bold brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and life. The vivid blues and greens are enriched by deep shadows, while patches of sunlit yellow suggest a crisp, clear day. The composition blends realism with abstract expressionism, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the breathtaking allure of this Scottish glen.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Painting Steps

Sky and Background:
- Mix a light blue with white for the sky.
- Using a large flat brush, apply horizontal strokes for the sky, leaving some areas white for clouds.
- Darken the blue slightly and sweep the large hills in the background, using broad strokes to convey texture and depth.
Midground Hills:
- Mix green with a hint of yellow for the sunlit areas of the hills.
- Apply with a medium round brush, following the contours from the line drawing.
- Darken the green with a touch of blue and black for shaded areas.
Foreground Vegetation and River:
- For trees and bushes, use a mix of green, black, and hints of red to add depth.
- Use the fine detail brush to define tree trunks and finer details.
- Paint the river with a mix of white and blue, adding darker strokes for reflections and movement.
Final Touches and Highlights:
- Enhance the vibrancy of highlights with pure yellow with the broad brush for sunlit patches.
- Add texture and movement using bold strokes of pure colors where needed.
- Step back frequently to judge balance and detail.
