  • Canvas
  • Acrylic paints
  • Brush set (various sizes)
  • Palette
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Preparation

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid are designed to help you accurately translate the composition onto your canvas.

  • Line Drawings: Use these as a guide for sketching the basic outline of the painting on your canvas.
  • Grid: If you opt to use the grid, lightly sketch it onto your canvas to maintain proper proportions and alignment.

Painting Instructions

  1. Sky and Clouds:
    • Using a large brush, apply a light blue wash for the sky. Blend in whites and lighter blues to create a dynamic sky effect.
    • Incorporate wisps of white to form the clouds, using a dry brush technique for texture.
  2. Mountains and Distant Land:
    • Mix darker blues and greens to sketch the distant mountains.
    • Use sweeping horizontal strokes to provide depth and hints of shadow.
  3. Sea:
    • Layer lighter blues and turquoise hues for the sea, ensuring smooth transitions between the colors.
    • Introduce subtle waves and reflections with darker blue and white highlights.
  4. Foreground Terrain:
    • Apply bold strokes of orange, yellow, and greens, creating a sense of the rugged Scottish terrain.
    • Use a palette knife to add texture and unpredictability to the natural landscape.
  5. Details and Final Touches:
    • Add details and refine any areas by using smaller brushes.
    • Enhance contrast and saturation according to the color wheel to capture the vibrancy of the original scene.
