Follow these steps to recreate the beautiful River Coe painting using your Paint-Your-Own Pack.

Materials Needed

  • Your Paint-Your-Own Pack including source image, line drawings, and grid
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes of various sizes (flat and round)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Water cup and paper towels (for acrylics)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional grid version are designed to assist with the accuracy of composition. Use the grid to plot key landmarks of the painting onto your canvas, ensuring correct proportions and perspective. The line drawing serves as a guide for key shapes and outlines.

Step 1: Sketch the Outline

  1. Lightly sketch the main outlines of the river, mountains, and tree lines using a pencil.
  2. Refer to the line drawings to ensure placement and proportion accuracy.

Step 2: Block in the Background

  1. Start with the sky using a light blue mixed with white, applying with a large flat brush.
  2. Add the distant mountains with soft blue and lavender hues, focusing on blending the edges softly to create depth.
  3. Introduce darker blues for the nearer hillsides, adding shadows to increase contrast.

Step 3: Paint the River and Foreground

  1. Use a mix of blues and greens for the river, adding streaks of white to indicate reflective highlights.
  2. Incorporate yellow and green tones for the grassy banks, using a stippling technique to suggest texture.
  3. Paint the rocks with a blend of grays and purples, adding highlights and shadows to create dimensionality.

Step 4: Add Details to Trees and Foliage

  1. Mix various shades of green for the trees, layering to create depth and fullness.
  2. Use a smaller round brush to add detail and definition to the foliage.
  3. Integrate touches of warm colors to suggest flowers and additional vegetation.

Step 5: Refine and Add Highlights

  1. Review your painting for balance and composition, making any necessary adjustments.
  2. Add bright highlights to the water and rocks to emphasize sunlight reflection.
  3. Make final touches to the trees and mountains to ensure a seamless blend.
