Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

An entrancing view of Loch Morar unfolds in this vibrant painting, capturing the serene expanse of one of Scotland's deepest freshwater lakes. The painting is a symphony of vivid hues, from the warm oranges and yellows of the foreground vegetation to the cool aqua and teal of the tranquil waters, accented by the soft pastels of the horizon and sky. The distant mountains loom in soft blues and purples, providing a dramatic backdrop. The artistic style is abstract expressionism, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a vivid color palette, creating an emotion-filled interpretation of nature's beauty.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints matching the color palette provided
  • Painters' brushes in varying sizes
  • Canvas (as per the provided sketch)
  • Pencil (for initial sketching)
  • Palette for mixing colors

Getting Started

Begin by reviewing the included paintings, line drawings, and optional grid. These tools will help in composing the image accurately on your canvas. The grid assists with spatial accuracy and proportion, dividing the scene into manageable sections.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Use the line drawing as your guide to lightly sketch the basic outlines onto your canvas with a pencil.
  2. If you are using the grid version, start dividing your canvas using the same grid system provided, transferring key points of the scene into corresponding grid squares.

Step 2: Block in the Background

  1. Mix a light blue to create the sky, applying with broad horizontal brushstrokes for a smooth effect.
  2. Paint the distant mountains using a mixture of blues and purples. Keep the edges soft to suggest distance.
  3. For the pale pink horizon, blend a touch of pink into the sky and mountain edge.

Step 3: Define the Water

  1. Use aqua blues to start forming the lake, using horizontal strokes to mimic the calm water surface.
  2. Add reflections from the sky and mountains, using softer versions of those colors.

Step 4: Develop the Foreground

  1. Begin with the vibrant yellows and oranges in the foreground vegetation.
  2. Use impasto technique to apply thick paint in energetic strokes, creating texture and depth.

Step 5: Add Details and Adjust

  1. Add any detailing to the trees with dark greens and blacks, hinting their outlines against the light background.
  2. Revisit any area that requires additional highlights or shadows for a balanced composition.

Finishing Touches

Once satisfied with the overall composition, step back and view the painting from a distance. Make any necessary final adjustments to ensure color harmony and emotional impact.

Allow your painting to dry, ensuring that each layer has set before applying any protective varnish, if desired.

Follow these steps, and take creative liberties when inspiration strikes to make this Loch Morar scene uniquely your own!
