Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Your Paint-Your-Own Pack includes line drawings and an optional artist's grid to help with composition accuracy. The grid can assist in correctly placing major elements on your canvas. Refer to the source image to compare proportions and angles.

1. Preparing Your Canvas

Set up your workspace. Ensure good lighting and have all materials at hand.
Lightly sketch the outline. Use the line drawing to sketch the basic layout onto your canvas. If using the grid, draw it lightly with a pencil to guide your sketching.

2. Painting the Background

Start with the sky. Use soft blues and hints of yellow for the upper sky. Blend the colors to create an even, luminous effect.
Create the mountain silhouettes. Use dark blues and purples, carefully following the curves as outlined in the sketches.

3. Painting the Midground

Lush hillsides. Layer greens and browns, using quick, bold strokes for texture. Refer to the color wheel to achieve the desired shades.
Define the river’s edges. Use lighter blues and whites for reflections, maintaining fluid motions with your brush.

4. Painting the Foreground

Focus on the river. Create dynamic reflections using a mix of blues, purples, and whites. Use splashes of orange and yellow for the light effects on the water.
Texturize with bold strokes. Add energy by applying quick, decisive brushstrokes to mimic the water’s texture.

5. Adding Final Details

Refine details in the hills and river. Use small brushes to add highlights and shadows for depth.
Add splashes of color. Use a fine brush to apply sporadic splashes of color across the canvas, enhancing the modern style.

6. Review and Finishing Touches

Step back frequently to view your painting as a whole.
Adjust any colors and refine details as necessary to match the original's vibrancy and style.
Allow your painting to dry thoroughly before displaying.

Remember, the goal is to capture the essence of the River Etive scene. Embrace the fluidity and movement, and let your creativity flow as you bring this beautiful landscape to life.
