Using the Line Drawing and Grid

Line Drawings: Use these to outline the main structures of the painting. They serve as a guide to maintain proportions and composition.

Grid Version: This assists in accurately capturing the placement of elements. Align your grid on canvas with the guide to replicate the source image.

Painting Instructions

  1. Background Preparation:
    • Begin with a light base of white mixed with a touch of sky blue across the top two-thirds of your canvas, setting the sky foundation.
  2. Painting the Sky:
    • Layer hints of yellow and orange at the top, blending downward into the lighter blue. Use a wide flat brush for smooth transitions.
    • Add dynamic sweeps of white to mimic cloud forms, maintaining a sense of motion.
  3. Creating the Mountains:
    • Using the line drawing, sketch the outlines of the mountains with diluted dark blue.
    • Apply strokes of purple and dark blue to shape the mountains, highlighting areas with splashes of orange for depth.
  4. Water Reflection:
    • Mix blue with a hint of white to recreate the tranquil lake surface. Use horizontal strokes to convey still water.
    • Incorporate subtle reflections of the landscape above using dark and light strokes mirrored at the waterline.
  5. Foreground Details:
    • Stroke patches of vibrant orange and deep green to represent foliage along the water's edge, using a fan brush for texture.
    • Darken the base with shadowy blacks and purples to ground the composition.
  6. Final Touches:
    • Revisit the entire painting to enhance contrasts and add fine detail where needed.
    • Allow your strokes to maintain an expressive form, capturing the abstract feel of the original piece.

Review and Adjust

Once you complete your piece, step back to assess balance and harmony. Use the colour wheel to ensure the hues are accurately represented, adjusting as necessary for vibrancy and contrast.
