Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of River Coe captures the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands with its dramatic landscape. The scene is dominated by a serene river that gracefully cuts through the vivid terrain. The river's reflective surface mirrors the sky, while vibrant foliage in various shades of green, yellow, and pink lines its banks. Majestic mountains rise in the background, blending into the horizon with deep blues and purples. The artwork employs an impressionistic style, combining loose brushwork and bold color choices to evoke a sense of peacefulness and grandeur.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Using Your Paint-Your-Own Pack

Your pack includes line drawings and sketches that help guide your composition. Use the optional artist's grid to ensure accuracy in proportions and perspectives. Refer to the color wheel to choose the correct hues and shades.

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Outline

  1. Place the line drawing on your canvas. You can use transfer paper to replicate the lines onto your painting surface.
  2. If using the grid method, lightly draw the grid on your canvas, matching its lines to the guide, ensuring the river, mountains, and trees are correctly positioned.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Mix light blue and white to create the sky color.
  2. Use a large brush to apply the paint, blending horizontally to achieve a smooth gradient.
  3. Add hints of swirling clouds using white with a touch of gray.

Step 3: Paint the Mountains

  1. Mix deep blue and purple to create the mountain colors.
  2. With a medium brush, apply the paint in diagonal strokes to suggest the ruggedness of the terrain.
  3. Layer lighter shades of blue on top to add depth and highlights.

Step 4: Paint the River

  1. For the river, use a mix of sky blues and whites.
  2. Paint the riverbed using long, horizontal strokes that follow its flow.
  3. Add reflections of surrounding elements with subtle hints of pink and yellow.

Step 5: Paint the Foliage

  1. Start with the darker greens for the foliage base.
  2. Mix yellows and lighter greens for highlights and apply them with a dabbing technique to create texture.
  3. Add blossoms and foliage in the foreground using bright yellows, pinks, and oranges for a pop of color.

Step 6: Add Final Details

  1. Refine edges of the riverbanks and trees with a small brush.
  2. Enhance shadows and highlights to create a sense of depth.
  3. Step back and make any adjustments needed to balance the composition.
