Ensure your workspace is well-lit and ventilated. Lay out your paints and brushes, and have your line drawing, sketches, or grid setup available. Tape your canvas securely to your easel or work surface.
Using the provided line drawing, lightly sketch the main elements of the landscape onto your canvas with a pencil. This will include the river, trees, hills, and general shapes of the foliage.
Step back periodically to assess your work, making any necessary adjustments to balance colors or details. Let the painting dry, and apply a varnish if desired to protect it and enhance the colors.
The optional artist's grid can be used to divide your canvas into smaller sections, which helps in accurately placing elements from the line drawing and maintaining proportions. It can be especially useful for beginners to align their work with the reference image effectively.
Enjoy the process of bringing this beautiful piece of Scotland's River Deveron to life. Happy painting!
