The painting of the River Lossie captures the serene beauty of the Scottish landscape with its abstract and impressionistic style.

The palette ranges from deep royal blues and vivid greens to soft pastels and bright yellows, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper
  • Paintbrushes (various sizes)
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Palette
  • Water (for acrylic) or turpentine (for oil)
  • Cloth or paper towels
  • Line drawing and grid from Paint-Your-Own Pack

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with good lighting and ventilation.
  2. Arrange your paints and brushes within easy reach.
  3. Attach the line drawing on your canvas using transfer paper or lightly sketch it freehand, referring to the source image for accuracy.

Using the Grid

The artist's grid helps you maintain proportions and accurately place elements. Overlay the grid on the line drawing and your canvas to ensure each section captures the corresponding part of the painting.

Painting the Background

  1. Sky: Using a wide brush, apply a soft, blended layer of pastel blues and whites to depict the sky. Mix in hints of pale yellow near the horizon for warmth.
  2. Hills: Transition into deeper greens and royal blues as you move downwards. Use long, horizontal strokes to suggest the rolling hills.

Painting the River

  1. Water Base: Start with a base of vibrant blue. Use curving strokes to follow the river's flow.
  2. Highlights and Reflections: Mix in lighter blues and whites to create a shimmering effect where light hits the water. Refer to the colour wheel to match your shades.

Adding Details and Foreground

  1. Vegetation: With a smaller brush, add patches of lively greens and yellows for the grassy areas. Vary the shades for depth.
  2. Abstract Details: Incorporate dabs and lines of bright oranges and purples to add interest and movement, imitating reflections and shadows.
  3. Final Touches: Add specks of white and yellow for highlights and to create a sunlit effect over the landscape. Balance the composition by referring to the source image.

Finishing Up

  1. Let the painting dry completely.
  2. Step back and assess if any areas need more detail or blending.
  3. Sign your work and enjoy your recreation of the River Lossie's beautiful abstraction!

Refer back to the source image and the artist’s grid as needed to maintain proportionality and follow the lively color scheme. Happy painting!
