This artwork is a celebration of the Highlands' enchanting beauty, expressed through a vivid colour palette and a harmonious, impressionistic style.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

Line Drawing: Use the included line drawing to outline the basic shapes and composition of the landscape on your canvas. This will serve as the foundation for your painting, helping you position key elements accurately.

Grid Version: If you opt for the grid version, use it to ensure precise placement and proportions of the landscape features. Transfer each section onto your canvas using a pencil, focusing on achieving balanced composition and scale.

Painting Instructions

Background and Distant Hills:
- Mix a soft blend of blue and purple for the distant hills. Using a large flat brush, apply these colors in smooth horizontal strokes to establish the backdrop.
- Add a touch of white to indicate sunlight and highlight the peaks of the hills.
Sky and Clouds:
- Create a soft, light blue for the sky and use broad, sweeping strokes to fill in the area above the hills.
- For the clouds, mix white with a hint of peach to add warmth. Use a medium round brush to paint fluffy cloud shapes, blending softly into the sky.
Green Valley:
- Mix various shades of green using yellow and blue. Apply these to the valley with a medium brush, using short, overlapping strokes to mimic grass texture.
- Add darker greens and highlight some areas with a lighter mix to depict sunlight on the grass.
River:
- For the river, blend a bright, reflective blue. Use a fine brush to paint the river's meandering path, staying true to the line drawing.
- Add a touch of white to create highlights on the water surface, indicating the river’s movement.
Trees and Foliage:
- Mix greens and browns for the treetops. Use a medium round brush to add leafy shapes, incorporating darker shadows and lighter highlights for depth.
- For the vibrant pink foliage, mix reds, pinks, and whites. Paint these in soft, clustered shapes to suggest blossoming plants.
Final Details and Adjustments:
- With a fine brush, add details to rocks along the riverbank using grays and whites for dimension.
- Review your painting, adjusting colors and refining details to match the mood and balance of the original artwork.

Enjoy the process and let each brush stroke bring the enchanting landscape of Glen Shiel to life on your canvas. Happy painting!
