Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the vivid beauty of Glencoe, Scotland, captured in this breathtaking painting. The composition transports you to a serene valley flanked by towering, verdant mountains that lead your gaze towards a brilliant, setting sun. The rich, textured brushstrokes create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, with a vibrant colour palette featuring reds, oranges, purples, and lush greens. The scene embodies a blend of impressionism and modern artistry, inviting you to explore the depth and tranquillity of nature’s grandeur.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Preparation

  • Materials: Ensure you have all the materials from the Paint-Your-Own Pack: source image, line drawing, sketches, and optional artist's grid. Also, gather your paints, brushes, and canvas.
  • Workspace: Set up your workspace with good lighting and ventilation. Arrange your materials for easy access.

Step 1: Sketch the Outline

  1. Using the Line Drawing: Transfer the line drawing from the pack onto your canvas. This will help establish the basic structure and composition of the painting.
  2. Grid Method (Optional): If you’re using the artist’s grid, lightly draw the grid on your canvas. This will help you accurately place each element by matching it to the grid on the reference image.

Step 2: Underpainting

  1. Background Wash: Apply a thin wash of a warm hue across the canvas to create a base tone. Consider using a diluted orange-yellow for warmth. Let it dry.
  2. Establish Shadows: Use a cool, dark color like deep purple to map out the shadowed areas, specifically on the mountainsides and the path.

Step 3: Painting the Sky

  1. Sun: Start by painting the bright sun using soft yellows and whites. Blend outward with light circular strokes.
  2. Sunset Gradients: Gradually apply the warm reds and oranges, blending them into the yellows to create a gradient effect as you move away from the sun.
  3. Brush Technique: Use thick brushstrokes to emulate the texture seen in the source painting.

Step 4: Mountains and Valleys

  1. Mountain Base Colors: Begin with the base colors of the mountains, using deep blues and purples.
  2. Add Texture: Layer with lighter hues of greens and purples to add dimension and texture. Use a palette knife for added texture, if desired.
  3. Shadows and Highlights: Pay close attention to light source direction when accentuating shadows and highlights. Use darker tones to deepen shadows, especially in crevices.

Step 5: Foreground Details

  1. Pathway: Use a blend of reds and browns for the path. Add texture with short, choppy brushstrokes to mimic the original painting’s technique.
  2. Grass and Foliage: Layer the greens, starting with darker shades and gradually adding highlights with yellows.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Figure: Paint the figure near the path’s edge using dark tones to accentuate it against the lighter path.
  2. Details and Refinements: Step back and evaluate. Add any necessary details and refine your brushstrokes, especially focusing on blending light transitions.
  3. Dry and Seal: Let the painting dry fully. Optionally, apply a varnish to protect your masterpiece.

Using the Colour Wheel

Refer frequently to the included colour wheel to mix and match the palette effectively, ensuring your colours stay true to the original painting’s vibrant yet harmonious composition.
