Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid versions in your Paint-Your-Own Pack are designed to help you accurately sketch the composition. Use the grid to replicate the drawing onto your canvas by matching the corresponding squares, ensuring the elements align proportionally. Alternatively, tracing the line drawings provides an even quicker start.

Painting Process

  1. Background and Sky:
    • Mix pale blue and soft grey for the sky. Use a large flat brush to apply even, swift strokes, capturing the expansiveness above the mountains.
    • Blend lighter hues towards the horizon for depth and highlight areas.
  2. Mountain Formation:
    • Using the line drawing, outline the main mountain shape. Mix dark browns and warm oranges to establish the mountain's base color with bold, sweeping motions.
    • Layer lighter tones and whites to define the peak and slopes, applying with a palette knife to achieve rough texture.
  3. Foreground Texture and Details:
    • With a medium round brush, paint the rocky foreground using earthy browns and hints of burnt sienna. Vary the brush pressure for a natural look.
    • Use a palette knife to add thick strokes for extra dimension, depicting rocks and grass at the base of the mountain.
  4. Details and Refinements:
    • Utilize the small detail brush to add final touches, such as defining the mountain's crevices and enhancing shadowed areas with deeper blues.
    • Incorporate vibrant reds and yellows to highlight sunlit sections, guiding the viewer’s eye through the composition.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Review the painting from a distance to check balance and harmony.
    • Add any final adjustments, ensuring your colors are cohesive and lively.

Enjoy the process of bringing Cairn Gorm to life on your canvas, letting the colors and textures guide your creativity!
