Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Start by lightly sketching the outlines using the provided line drawing. If you're using the grid version, align your grid with the canvas to ensure accuracy in proportions.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

  1. Mix shades of blue with white to create the sky. Apply using broad strokes with a flat brush.
  2. Add soft white clouds, blending slightly into the sky to create depth and movement.

Step 3: Adding the Sea

  1. Use a mix of turquoise and blue for the sea, starting at the horizon and working towards the foreground.
  2. Incorporate lighter tones near the shore to depict shallow areas, using horizontal strokes.

Step 4: Defining the Rocks

  1. Mix grays and browns for the rocks. Use a round brush to outline and fill in the rocky outcrops.
  2. Add highlights and shadows to give dimension, focusing on light sources.

Step 5: Painting the Landscape

  1. For the grassy areas, mix various greens and apply with broad, textured strokes.
  2. Include darker greens and browns to depict shadows and depth on the landscape.

Step 6: Adding the Wildflowers

  1. With a fine detail brush, apply pinks, purples, and oranges for the wildflowers.
  2. Use quick, light strokes to represent petals and add depth with darker shades.

Step 7: Final Touches

  • Evaluate the painting for balance and cohesion. Add or adjust colors as needed.
  • Refine any details with a fine brush to enhance the painting’s crispness.
  • Let the painting dry thoroughly before displaying it.

Use the source painting image for reference as you work through each step, ensuring you capture the essence of the landscape's beauty. Enjoy bringing this piece of the Isle of Iona to life!
