Optional easel

Preparation

Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure you have adequate lighting and all materials within reach.
Review the Source Image: Familiarize yourself with the composition and color palette.
Use the Grid or Line Drawings: If you're using the grid version, lightly sketch the grid on your canvas to help with accurate composition placement. Alternatively, use the line drawings as a reference for sketching the basic outlines.

Painting Steps

Background:
- Sky: Begin with the sky using light blues. Incorporate white for clouds, applying soft circular strokes to mimic their fluffy appearance.
- Hills: Use blues and purples to paint the distant hills, blending colors to create depth and soft transitions.
Middle Ground:
- Trees: Apply brushstrokes of greens interspersed with oranges and yellows for the trees, capturing the autumnal shades.
- Meadows: Mix yellows and greens for the fields, adding hints of orange for variation. Use light, quick strokes to give texture.
Foreground:
- River: Utilize blues and whites to depict the river, focusing on horizontal strokes to illustrate the water’s flow. Add reflections of surrounding colors into the water.
- Rocks and Plants: Paint the rocks with light purples and grays. Use dabs of green and yellow for the surrounding foliage.
Details and Finishing Touches:
- Refine the edges and add darker lines where necessary to define shapes and add contrast.
- Adjust the highlights and shadows throughout the painting to enhance dimensionality.

Tips

Blending: Work quickly while the paint is wet to blend colors smoothly, especially in the sky and water.
Brush Care: Clean your brushes regularly to maintain clean color application.
Layering: Allow layers to dry before adding new ones to avoid muddy colors.
Experiment: Feel free to adjust the colors slightly to suit your preference.

With patience and attention to detail, you'll be able to recreate the enchanting beauty of Glen Esk as depicted in this painting. Enjoy the process and let the landscape come alive on your canvas!
