Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of the River Spey captures the serene beauty of Scotland's landscape. With its sweeping brushstrokes and vibrant hues, the artwork depicts a picturesque river winding through lush terrain framed by majestic hills. The color palette includes rich blues, greens, and yellows, punctuated by bright splashes of orange and red. The painting style is expressive, with a focus on dynamic motion and the play of light on water.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic or oil paints (as per color palette)
Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
Canvas: size to match the source image
Palette
Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Preparation

Set up your workspace with the canvas, paints, and brushes.
Review the color wheel provided in the pack to familiarize yourself with the palette.
Place the line drawing or grid version of the artwork beside your canvas.

Using the Line Drawing/Grid

Line Drawing: Use this to outline major elements like the river, hills, and trees. It serves as a guide to maintain proportions.

Grid: Helps in accurately positioning each element by dividing the canvas into manageable sections. Match each section to the corresponding part on the source image.

Step 1: Underpainting

Use a diluted mix of warm colors (yellow ochre or light sienna) to cover the canvas lightly.
This layer will provide warmth and cohesion to the overall painting.

Step 2: Sky and Hills

Sky: Mix blues with a hint of white to create subtle variations of color. Use broad strokes to fill the upper portion of your canvas.
Hills: Apply deeper blues and greens. Use the line drawing to capture the contours and create depth with darker shades in the shadows.

Step 3: River

Use a mix of blues and whites, blending softly to mimic the reflection of the sky on the water.
Add motion and texture by introducing lighter streaks with a smaller brush.

Step 4: Surrounding Landscape

Apply greens and yellows for the lush banks and foliage, using varied brush sizes to capture details and texture.
Introduce orange and red spots to add vibrancy and depict autumnal trees.

Step 5: Final Details

Refine the dynamic elements of the painting with expressive brushstrokes to highlight movement in the river.
Deepen shadows in the hills and around trees to enhance depth and contrast.
Add finishing touches, like reflective highlights on the water and minor adjustments to emphasize light play.

Finishing Up

Allow your painting to dry thoroughly. Step back and take in the completed work, making any minor adjustments as needed.

Congratulations! You've recreated the stunning River Spey landscape, capturing its lively colors and emotive scenery.
