Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Loch Leven is a vibrant and captivating landscape that captures the serene beauty of Scotland's countryside. The scene is filled with rolling hills, a shimmering loch, and a foreground brimming with wildflowers. The color palette is dominated by soft blues, rich greens, and bright yellows, with occasional splashes of orange and white in the flowers. The artistic style is impressionistic, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on light and color, evoking a sense of tranquility and natural harmony.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed:

  • Acrylic or oil paints in the colors provided in the color wheel.
  • Canvas or thick paper.
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes.
  • Palette for mixing colors.
  • Water or paint thinner for cleaning brushes.
  • Rag or paper towels.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings will help you outline the major components of the painting: the loch, hills, and floral foreground. Use the grid version to accurately map these elements onto your canvas. Begin by marking the grid lightly with a pencil on your canvas, aligning with the reference image.

Painting Instructions:

  1. Sky and Clouds:
    • Mix a light blue for the sky using white and a touch of blue.
    • Paint the upper part of the canvas with gentle horizontal strokes.
    • Add dabs of white to create clouds, blending softly for a realistic effect.
  2. Loch:
    • Mix a deeper blue with hints of green for the loch.
    • Apply broad, flat strokes to mimic the reflection and movement of water.
    • Add lighter streaks to simulate sunlight reflecting on the surface.
  3. Hills:
    • Combine greens and browns to create the rolling hills in the background.
    • Use horizontal strokes and blend slightly to mimic the contours of the hills.
    • Add shading by incorporating darker tones towards the base of the hills.
  4. Foreground - Wildflowers:
    • Use bright yellows, oranges, and whites for the flowers.
    • Apply using a stippling technique with a round brush to create a scattered floral effect.
    • Add depth by overlaying colors and varying the size of flowers.
  5. Trees and Shrubs:
    • Paint the trees using a mix of deep green and brown for trunks and shadows.
    • Use a tapping motion with your brush for a textured foliage effect.
  6. Final Details:
    • Use a small detail brush to refine any edges and add highlights to the flowers and water.
    • Add any missing details like shadows or extra touches to the landscape for realism.

Take your time with each section, referring back to your source image and line drawings, and adjust as needed. Happy painting!
