Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The pack includes line drawings and an optional artist's grid to help ensure accurate composition. Begin by transferring the line drawing onto your canvas, using the grid to maintain proportions and correct placement of elements such as the river, mountains, and trees.

Step 1: Sky and Background Mountains

  1. Color Selection: Use light blues and whites from your color wheel.
  2. Blocking In: Start with the sky, applying a mix of white and blue with a flat brush. Use soft, horizontal strokes.
  3. Background Mountains: Use muted blues to outline the distant mountains, keeping brushstrokes loose to indicate distance and atmosphere.

Step 2: Midground Hills and Foliage

  1. Color Selection: Mix greens with hints of yellow for the vibrant hills.
  2. Midground: Apply lighter greens to create gentle slopes, using the line drawings to guide the placement of hills and foliage.
  3. Detail Work: Use a round brush to add darker greens and browns for shadows in the foliage.

Step 3: River and Reflections

  1. Color Selection: Use deeper blues with hints of green and white for highlights.
  2. Water Base: Paint the river with flowing horizontal strokes, starting with darker blues.
  3. Reflections: Add reflections of the sky and surrounding greenery lightly, blending with the water color to achieve a natural effect.

Step 4: Foreground Elements

  1. Color Selection: Select rich greens, earth tones, and subtle reds for vegetation.
  2. Details: Use a detail brush to fill in grasses and rocks, referring to your line drawing for accuracy.
  3. Final Touches: Adjust colors and add highlights where light would naturally fall on rocks and plants.

Step 5: Final Details and Corrections

  1. Final Highlights: With a small brush, add final white highlights to the river and clouds to enhance brightness.
  2. Shadows: Deepen any shadowed areas in the foliage and under rocks with darker hues of your palette.
  3. Review: Compare your painting with the source image and make any adjustments for balance and composition integrity.

By following these steps and using the provided materials, you will capture the enchanting beauty of River Coe, creating a piece that resonates with the timeless allure of Scottish landscapes.
