Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the provided colour wheel for the palette)
  • Brushes (variety of sizes)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cups of water (for acrylics) or medium (for oils)
  • Painter’s tape (if using the grid)

Preparation

  1. Review the Source Material: Examine the painting image, line drawings, and any sketches included in your pack. Familiarize yourself with the composition and colors.
  2. Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure you have good lighting, and all materials are within easy reach.
  3. Use the Grid (optional): If you choose to use the artist’s grid, tape it to your canvas and sketch the key outlines using a pencil.

Painting Steps

  1. Background:
    • Mix a blend of orange and yellow for the sky. Use broad horizontal strokes to create a gradient from top to bottom.
    • For the sun, apply a bright white circle at the focal point of the sky, softening the edges with surrounding yellows.
  2. Mountains:
    • Use earthy browns and greens for the distant mountains. Add hints of purple and blue to portray the shadows and depth.
    • Utilize short, diagonal brushstrokes to accentuate the rugged texture of the terrain.
  3. Foreground Landscape:
    • Combine vibrant greens and yellows for the fields, keeping the colors dynamic to reflect sunlight.
    • Add details with darker greens and browns to create contrast and depth, especially around the rocks and foliage.
  4. Water and Stream:
    • Mix blues with a touch of white for the water, using smooth, flowing strokes to depict movement.
    • Paint the cascading water with layers of white and light blue to capture its fluidity and sparkle.

Finishing Touches

  • Detail Work: Use fine brushes for the flowers and grasses in the foreground, incorporating warm colors to highlight these elements.
  • Review and Adjust: Step back and examine your work. Adjust any areas as needed to enhance the balance and vibrance of the scene.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings serve as an excellent guide for tracing key elements on your canvas, ensuring accuracy and proportion. If using the grid, align it with your canvas size to maintain the composition's correct scale. This will aid you in positioning key features accurately.
