Painting Guide for River Orchy

Canvas or painting paper
Brushes (variety of sizes)
Pencil and eraser

Water container (for acrylic paints)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Canvas
Lay out your canvas and secure it on an easel or flat surface. Using a light pencil, lightly sketch the main elements of the scene using the provided line drawing or apply the artist’s grid as a guide for proportional accuracy.
Sky and Background Hills
- Begin by painting the sky with soft, swirling shades of light blue and whites, capturing the dynamic cloud formations.
- Move on to the hills in the background, using various shades of blue and hints of green, as shown in your palette to create a sense of depth.
Middle Ground Foliage
- Paint the tree line using different shades of green, ensuring each tree is distinct but part of a cohesive whole. Use darker colors for shadows and lighter ones where the sun hits.
- Include the vibrant meadows with strokes of yellow-green, capturing the sunlight on the grass.
River and Foreground
- For the river, use a palette of blues and greens. Apply paint with horizontal strokes to mimic the flow of water and leverage white to highlight reflections and ripples.
- Add rocks using grays and ochres, giving them definition and texture with varied brushwork.
Refinements and Final Touches
- Add details to the grasses and flowers using flicks of color to enhance the scene's vibrancy, as indicated in your color wheel.
- Refine any areas that need adjustments, ensuring smooth transitions and balance in colors and shadows.
Review and Sign
Step back and review your painting. Make any final adjustments before signing your work in a subtle area of the painting.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings included in your pack serve as a guide to understanding the composition and spatial relationships within the scene. The artist’s grid can be layered over your canvas or used as a reference to maintain correct proportions and scales. Utilize these tools to maintain accuracy throughout your painting process.
