Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures the breathtaking beauty of Glen Shiel in Scotland, where the majestic mountains rise in deep blues and purples, their shadows dancing across the verdant landscape. A meandering river, vibrant in its turquoise hue, winds through lush green fields dotted with patches of wildflowers. The sky is a stunning canopy of soft, swirling clouds, adding movement and life. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and timelessness, with a cottage nestled amidst the foliage, symbolizing solitude and harmony with nature. The use of a vivid colour palette emphasizes the natural vibrancy and captures the ethereal quality of light typical of the Scottish highlands. The artistic style is a mix of realism and impressionism, focusing on broad, expressive brushstrokes and a rich interplay of light and shadow.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or thick art paper
Acrylic or oil paints: green, blue, purple, yellow, white, grey, and turquoise
Brushes: large flat, medium round, and fine detail
Pencil for sketching
Easel (optional)

Setting Up

Review the PDF Pack: Begin by examining the source painting image, line drawings, and sketches provided. Familiarize yourself with the composition and the grid offered to ensure accuracy in proportion.
Create a Grid: Lightly sketch a grid on your canvas using a pencil that matches the grid on your line drawing. This will help maintain perspective and proportions.

Painting Process

Background - Sky and Mountains:
1. Sky: Use a large flat brush to apply a base coat of white mixed with a touch of blue. Create a gradient by blending in more blue towards the top, keeping the brush strokes broad and smooth.
2. Clouds: With a medium round brush, apply white paint to form the clouds, adding depth with subtle shades of grey. Use swirling motions to mimic the cloud patterns.
3. Mountains: Apply a mix of blues and purples to paint the distant mountains, focusing on creating shadows and highlights using the medium round brush. Layer with darker tones for dimension.
Middle Ground - River and Fields:
1. River: Paint the river with a bright turquoise. Add white highlights to create the illusion of flowing water. Use the medium round brush for finer details.
2. Fields: Mix various shades of green and apply them across the fields using a large brush. Add patches of yellow and lighter green to indicate sunlight and wildflowers.
Foreground - Rocks and Cottage:
1. Rocks: Use a mixture of grey and brown to create the rocks in the foreground with a smaller brush. Add texture and depth with darker and lighter shades.
2. Cottage and Trees: Paint the cottage using darker, muted tones to keep it subtle amidst the vibrant landscape. Use a fine brush for details. Add tree foliage with dabs of dark and light greens.

Final Touches

Details: Add finer details with a small brush, including highlights on the water and detailing on the rocks to enhance the realism.
Final Review: Step back and assess your painting. Make any adjustments to colour balance and shadowing as needed.
Seal the Painting: Once dry, seal your painting with a varnish to protect and enhance the colours.

Enjoy the process of bringing the serene beauty of Glen Shiel to life! Every stroke adds a personal touch to your work of art.
