Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of the Isle of Lewis in Scotland gracefully captures the serene beauty of the coastline. Its vivid color palette comprises vibrant blues of the sea and sky, lush green and warm yellow tones of the rolling hills, with occasional splashes of floral pinks and purples in the foreground. The artistic style is impressionistic with expressive brushstrokes which provide texture and a sense of movement. A couple of small cottages in the distance enhance the peaceful landscape, anchoring the scene to the human scale and adding interest to the horizon.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Line drawing from the Paint-Your-Own Pack
  • Artists grid version (optional)
  • Canvas or paper
  • Acrylic paints matching the color palette
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • Pencil for light sketching
  • Palette for mixing colors

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace: Ensure you have good lighting and all materials within reach.
  2. Study the line drawing: Use the provided grid version if you need assistance in keeping proportions accurate.

Painting Process

1. Sky and Clouds

  1. Base Layer: Start with a wash of light blue to establish the sky. Allow some areas to remain white for cloud highlights.
  2. Cloud Details: Use a mix of white and a touch of grey to add cloud shadows with broad, loose strokes.
  3. Blend: Soften the edges where the clouds meet the sky for a natural transition.

2. Ocean

  1. Base Layer: Apply a layer of deep blue for the distant ocean. Use horizontal strokes for a smooth water effect.
  2. Highlights and Depth: Introduce lighter blues and touches of green to mimic the movement and varying water depths.

3. Distant Landscape and Cottages

  1. Sweeping Hills: Use light green with hints of yellow to fill in the rolling hills. Add depth with darker tones for shadowed areas.
  2. Cottages: Use white for the cottages, dashed with greys for roof details. Ensure they are small but noticeable in the scene.

4. Foreground Details

  1. Floral Field: Using a mix of greens, yellows, and occasional reds or purples, dot the field with flowers. Aim for a dispersed natural look.
  2. Grass Stems: Use thin, upward strokes with a thin brush or palette knife to add grass details.

5. Final Touches

  1. Reflections and Shadows: Add small strokes of darker tones where rocks meet water and areas needing more depth.
  2. Adjust Contrasts: Step back and decide if edges need more definition or areas require softening.

Enjoy the process as you capture the idyllic beauty of the Isle of Lewis. Let your strokes be expressive, embracing the impressionistic style.
