Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or painting paper
Acrylic paints in blue, green, brown, black, white, and accent colors according to the color wheel provided in your pack
Brushes in various sizes
Pallet knife
Palette for mixing
Water container and rags/tissues

Preparation

Set up your workspace with all materials easily accessible.
Use the artist grid or line drawing included in your pack to sketch the primary outlines of the landscape on your canvas. Focus on the placement of the coastline, rocks, and horizon.

Painting Process

1. Sky and Distant Mountains

Begin with the sky. Use soft blues and whites, blending them to create a smooth gradient. Allow the light to peak near the horizon line.
For clouds, apply thicker white paint with a brush or palette knife for texture.
Paint the distant mountains using darker shades of blue and grey. Use light strokes to imply distance and atmospheric perspective.

2. Ocean and Waves

Move to the ocean. Use various shades of blue and turquoise, applying them horizontally to illustrate depth and movement.
With a palette knife or brush, create the white froth of the waves, especially where they meet the shore.

3. Rocky Outcrops

Use dark browns and blacks to define the rocks. Focus on form and shadow, adding highlights with lighter browns and whites for texture.
Pay attention to the direction of light; emphasize shadows on one side for depth.

4. Vegetation and Land

Paint the grassy areas with a range of greens. Use quick, varied strokes to imply different types of vegetation.
Add spots of color for wildflowers using yellows, reds, and oranges to enliven the scene.
Use white and bright green to create a sunlit effect in select areas.

5. Final Details

Review your painting. Adjust any sections by adding highlights or deepening shadows to increase contrast.
Use the smallest brush for fine details, such as distant birds or highlights along the water's edge.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawings: Start by lightly tracing or drawing over these lines onto your canvas. This will help you maintain accurate proportions and placement of main elements.

Grid: Use the grid to breakdown the painting into manageable parts. This is especially useful for beginners to ensure everything is in the correct scale and position.

Enjoy the process of bringing this breathtaking Scottish landscape to life with each brushstroke!
