Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glencoe captures the breathtaking beauty and dramatic landscapes of Scotland. The scene is filled with majestic mountains towering on either side of a vibrant valley. A winding river reflective of the sky’s light weaves through the lush greenery, leading the eye towards the distant, mist-covered peaks. The painting is characterized by a rich and vivid color palette, with deep blues, verdant greens, and warm yellows. The style uses bold, expressive brushstrokes that convey both energy and tranquillity, enhancing the scene's natural allure.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes in various sizes (flat, round, detail)
  • Canvas or art paper
  • Palette for mixing colours
  • Optional: Easel

Step 1: Setting Up

Using the Grid or Line Drawing: Begin by transferring the basic outline onto your canvas using the grid or line drawing included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Align the drawing carefully to ensure composition accuracy. If using a grid, draw a light grid on your canvas to match the proportions in the PDF, then sketch the main elements.

Step 2: Blocking in the Sky and Mountains

  1. Start with the sky, using broad strokes of light grey and hints of blue, blending smoothly to suggest soft clouds.
  2. Move to the background mountains. Use a mix of blues and purples for depth, adding lighter tones for mist and distance.
  3. Focus on creating a gradient effect that draws the viewer’s eye farther into the scene.

Step 3: Defining the Foreground and Valley

  1. Transition to the valley, using a vibrant green palette. Mix in yellows to represent sunlight striking the grass and foliage.
  2. Add texture to the rocks and land formations, incorporating earthy tones like ochre and burnt sienna.

Step 4: Painting the River

  1. For the river, use a blend of white, blue, and grey to capture the reflections and motion of water.
  2. Ensure the strokes flow directionally from the foreground to the background, following the river’s path.

Step 5: Adding Trees and Detail

  1. Use finer brushes to add details to the trees along the riverbank. Employ a mix of greens and yellows for the foliage.
  2. Add shadows and highlights to the trees with darker greens and lighter yellows or whites.

Step 6: Final Touches

  • Refine any areas that need more detail or blending.
  • Add touches of light to emphasize depth and highlight areas struck by sunlight.
  • Stand back and examine your work for balance and color harmony.

  • Sky: Light greys, blues
