Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or quality painting paper
  • Set of acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water (for acrylics) or medium (for oils)
  • Rag or paper towels
  • Paint-Your-Own Pack PDF

Using the Included Resources

  • Line Drawings: Use these to trace the basic outlines onto your canvas, ensuring that the composition is accurate from the start.
  • Artist’s Grid: If using the grid method, align the grid with the lines on your canvas to carefully replicate the correct proportions and layout.
  • Color Wheel and Palette: Refer to this for mixing paint and understanding the dominant colors in the scenery.

Step 1: Sketching the Outline

Aim: Establish the basic shapes and layout of the scene.

  1. Using the line drawings, lightly sketch the main outlines of the mountains, river, and sun onto your canvas.
  2. If using the grid, draw a faint grid on your canvas and align it with the guide to accurately place each element.
  3. Verify proportions and perspective before proceeding to paint.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

Aim: Capture the dramatic sunset sky.

  1. Mix shades of orange and yellow, referring to the color wheel for guidance.
  2. Use broad, sweeping strokes with a flat brush to fill the upper half of the sky, blending the colors for a smooth transition.
  3. Add soft, wispy clouds using lighter, quick strokes.

Step 3: Defining the Mountains

Aim: Create depth with varied tones.

  1. Mix dark and light hues of blue and brown.
  2. With a round brush, outline the mountains' edges against the sky and fill in with varied shades to suggest texture and shadow.
  3. Focus on capturing the sunlight hitting the peaks, using lighter colors where the sun reflects.

Step 4: Painting the River and Foreground

Aim: Achieve reflection and continuity of color.

  1. Mix colors to match the sky for the river’s reflection, adding slightly darker tones for contrast.
  2. Use horizontal strokes to suggest water’s surface and reflections.
  3. Add detail to the foreground with dark earthy tones, using small brushes for branches and stones.

Step 5: Final Touches

Aim: Enhance realism with careful details.

  1. Refine details in the mountains and foreground to bring the painting to life.
  2. Using a detail brush, add highlights and deeper shadows to intensify depth and dimension.
  3. Step back and ensure all elements are cohesive, making adjustments as needed.
