Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Loch Lochy presents a breathtaking Scottish landscape where the tranquil waters of the loch reflect the surrounding mountains and a vibrant array of foliage. The scene is dominated by soft, yet striking, blues and greens of the water, counterbalanced with the bright, attention-catching yellows of autumnal trees. The interplay of light and shadow across the mountains enhances the depth and serenity of the scene. The painting employs broad, confident brushstrokes that lend a dynamic, impressionistic quality to the composition, inviting the viewer into a vibrant world of color and light.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

  • Use the included grid or line drawings to sketch the basic outlines onto your canvas.
  • Ensure the key elements, such as mountains, trees, and the loch, are accurately placed to guide your painting.

Step 2: Underpainting

  • Mix a light layer of diluted blue and green to create a base for the water and sky. Use broad strokes to cover these areas.
  • Apply a thin layer of muted green for the base of the mountains to set the tone.

Step 3: Painting the Sky

  • Start with the sky using a mix of light blue and white to achieve a soft gradient.
  • Add hints of gray and light yellow to suggest clouds and sunlight breaking through.

Step 4: Mountains

  • Layer darker shades of blue and green to build the mountains, starting from the back and moving forward.
  • Add highlights and shadows using a mix of white, gray, and darker hues to give depth and texture.

Step 5: Water Reflections

  • Reflect the colors of the sky and mountains onto the loch using horizontal strokes. Focus on blending blues, greens, and hints of white.
  • Use short, choppy strokes of bright color near the treeline to emulate reflections.

Step 6: Foliage and Trees

  • Use vibrant yellows and oranges for the trees, employing vertical strokes to capture their form and vibrancy.
  • Add subtle highlights on the tree trunks and branches with lighter yellows and whites for contrast.

Step 7: Final Touches

  • Review the painting for balance and cohesion. Touch up areas with additional color or depth as needed.
  • Use a fine brush to add any small details or textures that might be missing.

Using the Artists Grid: The optional artists grid assists with ensuring proportion and perspective match the original painting. This is particularly useful for maintaining the correct alignment of elements across the image. Break your work into sections, focusing on one grid-square at a time for precision.

Color Palette: Refer to the supplied color wheel to mix colors accurate to the original painting. This will help maintain the vibrancy and harmony observed in the source image.
