Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Capture the essence of Scotland’s Glen Esk with its vibrant, undulating hills and serene river. This expressive painting is a harmonious blend of bold hues and dynamic strokes. The scene is bathed in warm golden tones of the fields, punctuated by soft greens of the rolling hills and the cool blues of distant mountains. A meandering river draws the eye across the canvas, guiding it through the rich tapestry of color and texture. The foreground bursts with lively pinks and oranges, adding a playful and modern touch. This artwork embraces an impressionistic style, focusing on conveying emotion and movement rather than precise detail.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas
Acrylic paints (Refer to the included color wheel)
Brushes of various sizes
Palette knife (optional)
Palette for mixing colors
Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Step 1: Preparing the Canvas

Begin by setting up your canvas. You can use the optional artist's grid version from the PDF pack to outline major elements. Lightly sketch these main elements to guide your composition.

Step 2: Painting the Background

Sky: Use a wide brush to apply a light blue for the sky, blending in a few streaks of white for clouds.
Distant Mountains: Layer deeper blues and purples towards the horizon to create depth. Use smaller brush strokes for texture.

Step 3: Middle Ground – Hills and River

Hills: Utilize vibrant greens and warm yellows. Use broad strokes to depict the rolling hills' form, mixing in some ochre to vary the shade.
River: Paint the river using a dynamic white with hints of blue to convey its reflective surface. The river should gently wind through the scene aiding the flow of the painting.

Step 4: Foreground Details

Wildflowers and Grasses: Apply pinks, oranges, and yellows for flowers and grasses in the foreground using small, energetic dabs and lines. This can be done best with a palette knife or detail brush.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Refine the edges and contours with a fine brush, enhancing areas where light might catch the landscape highlights.
Add any additional highlights or shadows to bring more dimension and life to your scene.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings provided in the PDF pack are useful for initial sketching. They ensure the composition's major elements are accurately placed. If you struggle with proportions, the grid version can help break the painting into smaller, manageable sections.

Final Tips

Keep your palette clean and organized to easily adjust colors as needed.
Allow yourself to be expressive; embrace the impressionistic style with bold strokes.
Regularly step back from the canvas to assess the overall balance and composition.
