Using the Line Drawing and Grid

Your Paint-Your-Own Pack includes a line drawing and optional grid version. Use these to transfer the basic composition onto your canvas:

Transfer the Drawing: Lightly sketch the line drawing onto your canvas. If using the grid, ensure you're accurately placing objects by matching the sketch with your grid setup.
Review the Composition: Double-check the placement of major elements—mountains, waterline, and foreground—to ensure accuracy.

Painting Process

Background – Sky:
- Mix a light blue with some white for the sky. Apply using broad, smooth horizontal strokes.
- Add some darker blue and blend gently to create depth and movement.
- Introduce white patches for clouds, using a circular motion to blend softly.
Mountains:
- Mix a deep blue with a touch of black for the distant mountains. Use diagonal strokes for texture.
- Add warmer tones like ochre and burnt sienna to light up the sunlit areas.
- A palette knife can add rugged texture to the mountain tops.
Water Reflections:
- Mirror the above colors in the water, starting with blues and adding the mountain hues.
- Use a soft, horizontal blending technique to mimic water's reflective quality.
- Include some vertical strokes lightly for added texture and depth.
Foreground:
- Layer vibrant greens and yellows using loose, expressive strokes.
- Add splashes of red and orange for contrast and to simulate foliage and light play.
- Enhance texture by using a palette knife for some areas, creating a lively, tactile foreground.
Finishing Touches:
- Review the painting from a distance to ensure balance and harmony.
- Add highlights and shadows where necessary to enhance depth and light effects.
- Sign your painting once you are satisfied with the result.

Color Palette

Refer to the included color wheel to identify and mix the most commonly used shades for your painting. Pay special attention to the harmonious blend of blues, greens, and warm earth tones.

Enjoy creating your own masterpiece of Loch Shiel and embrace the peaceful beauty of the Highlands with every brushstroke!
