Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Set of acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes of various sizes (flat, round, and fan)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water cup and rags for cleaning brushes
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Easel (optional)

Step 1: Setting the Scene

Using the Line Drawing/Artist Grid: Begin by using the line drawings provided in the Paint-Your-Own Pack. If you prefer more precision, use the artist grid version to help maintain accurate proportions. Lightly sketch the outline onto your canvas, marking the positions of key elements: hills, water, and sky.

Step 2: Painting the Background

  • Sky: Start by mixing a light blue and white to create the sky color. Use broad, sweeping strokes with a large flat brush to fill in the sky, blending softly to create a natural gradient.
  • Distant Hills: Mix a muted green with touches of brown to depict the distant hills. Use a slightly smaller brush and add a hint of blue to blend these into the horizon.

Step 3: Blocking in the Foreground

  • Hills and Cliffs: With a mid-sized brush, apply vibrant greens and earthy browns to the hills and cliffs. Allow the colors to blend to showcase the valleys and ridges.
  • Water: Use a mix of blues, adding white for highlights, to create the reflective surface of the water. Carefully blend these for a smooth transition, capturing the essence of the sound.

Step 4: Adding Details

  • Texture and Highlights: For texture, use a fan or a detailed round brush to add light strokes for grasses and rocky textures on the foreground cliffs. Highlights can be added with pure white or a lighter version of your base colors.
  • Foreground Accents: To capture the brightness in the foreground, incorporate reds and oranges sparingly, blending as needed to ensure they complement the scene.

Step 5: Final Touches

  • Refining Shapes: Review your work and refine any shapes or lines that need clarity using a smaller brush.
  • Adjusting Contrasts: Add sharper shadows or highlights to enhance depth, using darker greens and browns in shadowy areas and lighter tones where the light hits.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer to the provided colour wheel to ensure your palette aligns with the painting’s mood. This tool will help you mix accurate shades and maintain color harmony throughout the painting process.

By following this guide, you can recreate the beautiful landscape of Easdale Sound, capturing its essence through deliberate brushwork and color choices.
