Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the serene wintry beauty of Glencoe, Scotland, captured in this evocative landscape painting. The prominent mountains rise majestically, enveloped in snow and casting deep blue shadows, while the placid river reflects the twilight sky. The luminous sunset casts a warm glow over the peaks, blending hues of orange, pink, and lavender, highlighting the contrasting cool tones of the icy landscape. This artwork’s impressionistic style uses bold, expressive brushstrokes to convey movement and atmosphere, creating a breathtaking and tranquil scene.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas
  • Acrylic or oil paints (based on the provided colour palette)
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and fine detail
  • Palette
  • Water or solvent
  • Paper towels or rags
  • Painter’s tape (optional for edges)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Begin by securing your canvas. You may wish to apply a thin layer of gesso if the canvas is unprimed. Let it dry completely.

Step 2: Use the Grid or Line Drawing

Utilize the provided line drawing or grid to sketch the basic outlines of the mountains, river, and sky onto your canvas. This will help with composition and proportion accuracy.

Step 3: Paint the Sky

  1. Start with the sky. Mix soft lavender and peach hues to capture the subtle tones of the setting sun.
  2. Use broad, smooth strokes to blend these colors, creating a gradient from the horizon upwards.
  3. Add hints of brighter orange and pink where the sun peeks through the clouds.

Step 4: Define the Mountains

  1. Mix various shades of blue and purple for the mountains.
  2. Apply the paint using a flat brush, capturing the stark, shadowed portions.
  3. Blend lighter tones to emphasize the snow-covered peaks, enhancing the three-dimensional effect.
  4. Use expressive strokes to suggest texture and moving shadows.

Step 5: Work on the River

  1. Begin with the deeper blues for the water, using a smaller flat brush.
  2. Add reflections from the sky using lighter strokes of lavender and peach to mimic the sunset.
  3. Incorporate darker tones along the edges of the riverbanks to suggest depth and water movement.

Step 6: Add Foreground Details

Paint the snowy riverbank using whites mixed with hints of blue. Add texture by using a palette knife or brush to create the illusion of snow and rocks jutting out. Delicate brushstrokes with fine detail brushes can be used to add grass or small shrubs peeking through the snow.

Step 7: Final Touches

  • Assess the balance of warm and cool tones in your painting. Make adjustments as needed to ensure harmony.
  • Add any final highlights or shadows for depth.
  • Step back and review your work, making any necessary refinements.

Step 8: Finishing Up

Allow the painting to dry thoroughly. Optionally, apply a varnish to protect your artwork and enhance color vibrancy.

Follow these steps at your own pace, referring back to your Paint-Your-Own Pack for guidance on detail and color selection. Enjoy the process and embrace the tranquil beauty of Glencoe in your finished piece!
