Using The Line Drawings/Artist's Grid

The line drawings and grid versions in your Paint-Your-Own Pack are invaluable tools for ensuring composition accuracy. Use them to map out the major elements of the painting on your canvas.

  1. Preparation: Set up your workspace, making sure you have adequate lighting and all materials within reach.
  2. Sketching: Use the line drawing to sketch the basic outlines on your canvas. Optionally, use the grid layout to ensure proportions are accurate by sketching each section individually.
  3. Background Sky:
    1. Start with a large flat brush, applying a wash of light gray-blue to the sky area.
    2. Add softness to the clouds using white and blending with the underlying blue.
  4. Mountains:
    1. Mix deep blues and smokey grays, then apply to the mountain shapes with broad, sweeping strokes.
    2. Add lighter shades where the light hits, incorporating touches of warm reds and oranges on the central peak.
  5. Water:
    1. Use a mix of blues – from deep cobalt to aquamarine – for the water.
    2. Create a sense of movement with horizontal strokes and subtle white highlights reflecting sky light.
  6. Foreground Landscape:
    1. Experiment with palette knives to lay down vibrant orange, yellow, and green patches across the foreground.
    2. Blend these with darker hues to suggest foliage and rock formations.
  7. Details and Refinements:
    1. Switch to smaller brushes for detailed work like grasses and small rock textures in the foreground.
    2. Enhance contrast and depth by revisiting areas with accent colors from your color palette.
  8. Final Touches:
    1. Review the painting for any areas needing refinement or additional detail.
    2. Apply any final highlights or shadows to enhance depth.
