Preparation

Set up your workspace: Arrange your materials within easy reach.

Painting Instructions

1. Background

Sky: Start with blending a mix of whites and light blues. Apply broad strokes using a flat brush to create the soft, cloudy sky, leaving portions of the canvas slightly exposed for dynamic effect.
Mountains: Use darker shades of blue and gray. Apply these with a round brush, ensuring the distant peaks appear muted and partially obscured by fog.

2. Midground

Hills and Fields: Mix greens with hints of yellow for the pastures. Apply with sweeping motions of the flat brush to lay down the fields, adding depth and dimension with darker greens in shadowed areas.
Reflections: Use slightly lighter blues and whites for reflections on the water.

3. Foreground

Waterfalls and Streams: Use pure white with a hint of blue to create the forceful water cascading over rocks. Use a detail brush for the frothy edges and details.
Rocks and Vegetation: Use grays and reds to form the rugged rocks, applying both shadows and highlights for texture. Use reds and brighter greens for vegetation.
Foreground Textures: Apply bold, expressive strokes to capture the texture using a palette knife for added depth and interest.

4. Final Touches

Details and Highlights: Use a detail brush to add highlights and refine edges, emphasizing the light hitting the water and rocks.
Review from a distance: Step back and ensure the overall balance of color and composition is harmonious.

Using the Artists Grid

The artists grid can be helpful in ensuring that the proportions of the landscape are accurate. Begin by evenly dividing both the reference image and your canvas into a corresponding grid of squares. This method will assist you in maintaining spatial relationships between elements, ensuring your painting captures the intended perspective and balance.

Enjoy the process of bringing the magic of the Isle of Skye to your canvas. Let each brushstroke carry the essence of this enchanting landscape.
