Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or canvas board
  • Acrylic paints: light blue, cobalt blue, ultramarine, yellow ochre, white, black, sap green, burnt sienna
  • Brushes: flat, round, and fine detail brushes

Using Line Drawings and Grid

Your Paint-Your-Own Pack includes line drawings and a grid to aid in composition placement. Use the grid to accurately sketch the layout onto your canvas if needed. The lines will guide you in positioning the key elements of the landscape, assuring correct proportions.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Sky
    • Begin with a clean, dry canvas.
    • Mix light blue with a touch of white and cover the upper part of the canvas to form the sky, using a large flat brush for smooth coverage.
    • Add depth by blending in cobalt blue near the top edges.
  2. Mountains
    • Using a mix of cobalt blue and ultramarine, outline the distant mountains with broad, sweeping strokes.
    • Add lighter touches near the mountain peaks by mixing in white to simulate mist or clouds.
  3. Midground Hills
    • Switch to a mid-sized brush and apply yellow ochre and green, highlighting the sunlit areas.
    • For shadows, incorporate burnt sienna and adjust with black for depth.
  4. Water Reflections
    • Create reflections by blending horizontal strokes of light blue and diluted cobalt blue near the bottom half of the canvas.
    • Mimic sunlight on water using white mixed with a hint of yellow ochre for subtle highlights.
  5. Foreground Details
    • Employ a fine detail brush to add greenery and texture in the foreground using sap green and a hint of black.
    • Emphasize reflections with vertical streaks of mixed colors from the land and water.
  6. Final Touches
    • Review the painting and make adjustments as needed, enhancing highlights and shadows to add dimension.
    • Let the painting dry completely before adding any varnish for protection and sheen.
