Painting Process

  1. Background Sky and Mountains
    • Step 1: Mix Titanium White with a touch of Ultramarine Blue to create a soft blue for the sky.
    • Step 2: Use a flat brush to apply sweeping strokes across the upper part of the canvas.
    • Step 3: Gradually blend in more Ultramarine Blue and Dioxazine Purple for the distant mountains, achieving a layered effect.
  2. Midground Meadows
    • Step 4: Mix Phthalo Green with Cadmium Yellow for a vibrant green.
    • Step 5: Apply the colors with horizontal strokes, varying the green shades for depth.
    • Step 6: Add details with short, vertical strokes for grass and flowers, incorporating small amounts of Cadmium Red for highlights.
  3. Highland Cow
    • Step 7: Start with the base coat of Burnt Sienna mixed with a touch of Cadmium Yellow for the cow’s body.
    • Step 8: Use a round brush for detailed strokes to depict the cow’s fur texture, adjusting the mixture's lightness and darkness.
    • Step 9: Employ detail brushes to paint the eyes, nose, and other facial features, using Titanium White for highlights and Burnt Sienna for shadows.
  4. Foreground Details
    • Step 10: Enhance the foreground by adding more flowers and texture to the grass. Use a mixture of Dioxazine Purple, Cadmium Red, and Cadmium Yellow for variety.
    • Step 11: Apply small dabs and quick strokes to capture the essence of a wild, blooming field.
  5. Final Touches
    • Step 12: Review the painting as a whole, and add any additional shadows, highlights, or details as necessary.
    • Step 13: Allow the painting to dry thoroughly before applying any varnish if desired (for oil paintings).
