Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

Review the Materials: Ensure you have the Paint-Your-Own Pack PDF, which includes the source painting, line drawings, sketches, and artist's grid, along with the color wheel.
Set Up Your Workspace: Arrange your paints, brushes, canvas, and the printed materials in a comfortable workspace with good lighting.
Understand the Composition: Study the line drawing and artist's grid to familiarize yourself with the layout and proportions.

Using Line Drawings and Grid

Use the line drawing to trace the main outlines onto your canvas. This will serve as your guide for where to place each element.
The grid helps maintain composition accuracy. If using, lightly sketch the grid onto your canvas to ensure proportionality while painting.

Painting Instructions

1. Background

Sky: Mix light blue with hints of peach to reflect the warm, subdued sky. Apply with broad strokes at the top section of your canvas.
Distant Hills: Use a combination of muted purples and greens for the hills. Blend softly to indicate distance.

2. Middle Ground

Trees and Woodland: Use vibrant yellows and oranges for the autumn trees on the left and right. Add dark greens and blacks for the shaded areas, working from the base upwards to define tree structure.
Riverbank: Mix earthy browns and deep greens to lay down the riverbank, using the line drawing as a guide.

3. Foreground

Water: Start with a base of deep blue for the water, progressively adding lighter blues and whites to reflect the sky and surrounding foliage. Use swirling brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and flow.
Reflections: Incorporate colors from the trees and sky onto the water's surface, softening edges for a reflective look.

4. Final Details

Enhance Textures: Use a small brush to add textures and details to the water, rocks, and trees. This step brings dimensionality.
Adjust Highlights and Shadows: Review your work, adding depth with additional highlights and shadows where needed to emphasize contrast.
Step Back: Take a moment to view the painting from a distance to ensure composition and color balance.

Conclusion

Upon completing your painting, compare it with the source image to see how closely you’ve captured the essence of the River Lyon. Remember, each brushstroke is a step on your creative journey. Enjoy the process!
