Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

  1. Start by setting up your canvas and ensuring you have good lighting.
  2. Use the provided artists grid to outline key composition areas on your canvas. This will help keep proportions accurate.
  3. Transfer the line drawings onto your canvas using light pencil marks, referencing the grid as needed.

Step 2: Blocking in the Background

  1. Refer to the colour wheel to mix the base colors for the sky and mountains in the background.
  2. Use broad brushstrokes to apply the lighter sky colors first, blending in subtle greys and blues.
  3. Add layers to the mountains using darker tones, creating depth and texture.

Step 3: Developing the Midground

  1. Shift focus to the middle section of the painting where the river meets the land.
  2. Apply the vibrant greens and earthy colors of the fields, using expressive strokes to simulate texture and movement.
  3. Introduce varying hues to depict shadows and light play across the landscape.

Step 4: Painting the River

  1. Mix bright blues and whites to mimic the lively movement of the river's water.
  2. Work from the center outward, using swirling strokes to capture the water’s flow and energy.
  3. Blend in touches of grey and darker blues to achieve depth and variation.
  4. Add details like rocks and splashes with sharper, smaller strokes.

Step 5: Adding Details

  1. Return to the mountains and midground and refine edges and details with smaller brushes.
  2. Enhance the contrast in shadows and highlights to bring the scene to life.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Look at the entire canvas and assess areas needing finishing touches or adjustments.
  2. Consider the balance of colors and make any necessary tweaks using the colour palette.
  3. Let the painting dry completely before framing or displaying.

Enjoy the process of recreating this stunning view of River Coe, capturing your interpretation of its beauty and majesty.
