Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints in the colors provided on the color wheel
  • Brushes: Wide flat, medium filbert, and small round
  • Palette knife
  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Pencil for sketching

Step 1: Setting Up Your Workspace

Ensure you have adequate lighting and space. Place the source painting image and line drawing from your Paint-Your-Own Pack nearby for reference.

Step 2: Initial Sketch

Use the pencil to sketch the basic outline of Cairn Gorm using the provided line drawing. If you choose the grid version, align your sketch with the grid to ensure composition accuracy.

Step 3: Background

Start with the sky. Use wide flat brushes to blend various shades of grey and blue, capturing the atmospheric dynamics. Keep the strokes loose and fluid to match the painting's style.

Step 4: Mountains and Midground

  • Color Mix: Deep reds, oranges, and browns.
  • Utilize medium filbert and small round brushes to delineate the mountain slopes. Apply the paint thickly in some areas to create texture.

Step 5: Foreground Details

Color Mix: Greens, light browns, and hints of red.

With a palette knife, add layers of rocky textures and grass patches. Incorporate splashes of greenery and subtle hints of red to bring vibrancy and depth to the land.

Step 6: Final Touches

  • Adjust contrasts and highlights by mixing lighter tints or deepening shadows.
  • Refine any undefined areas, adding accents and ensuring smooth transitions or striking contrasts where necessary.
  • Use a smaller brush or palette knife for detail work, if needed.

Step 7: Reflection and Adjustment

Step back and review your painting. Compare with the source image from the pack. Make any final adjustments to ensure accuracy and satisfaction with your work.
