Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preparation
    • Set up your workspace with the canvas on the easel.
    • Arrange your paints and brushes for easy access.
    • Familiarize yourself with the reference painting, line drawings, and grid provided in your pack.
  2. Using the Grid and Line Drawings
    • Begin by lightly sketching the main outlines on the canvas using the provided line drawing as a guide. Use a grid overlay for accuracy if needed.
    • Pay close attention to the placement of key elements like the cliffs, sea, and sky.
  3. Blocking in Base Colors
    • Start with a large brush to block in the sky using light blue and white. Create swirling cloud shapes using more white.
    • Apply deep blues and greens for the sea, ensuring to leave lighter patches for wave highlights.
    • Use a mixture of greens and bright oranges for the foreground cliffs and grassy areas.
  4. Developing the Landscape
    • Add darker shades to the shadowed parts of the cliffs using deep purples and blues to create depth.
    • Blend lighter greens and yellows on the sunlit areas for contrast.
    • Use bolder strokes to define the rocky edges and texture.
  5. Detailing Clouds and Waves
    • Layer more white and soft pinks onto the clouds for volume and depth.
    • Detail the waves with narrow brushes, adding white highlights to show movement and sparkle on the water.
  6. Finishing Touches
    • Add final details to the wildflowers and grasses in the foreground with pinks and purples for a pop of color.
    • Review the painting for cohesion and make adjustments as needed.
    • Let the painting dry thoroughly before displaying or framing.

As you work through each step, remember to observe the reference image closely to capture the essence of this striking landscape. Enjoy the journey of bringing the dramatic beauty of the Isle of Lewis to life on your canvas!
