Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glenfinnan in Scotland captures a breathtaking landscape where rolling hills meet a serene river winding beneath an elegant viaduct. The foreground is lush with vibrant greens and yellows, which transition to deeper, cooler tones towards the background mountains. The vivid palette captures the essence of the Scottish countryside, while the broad, expressive brushstrokes lend a dynamic energy to the scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or heavy paper
  • Acrylic paints (colors based on the provided colour wheel)
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cup of water and paper towels for cleaning brushes

Preparation

  1. Begin by setting up your workspace with all the materials within easy reach.
  2. Examine the line drawings and optional artist's grid to understand the composition. These will guide your placement of key elements such as the viaduct, hills, and river.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawings: Start by outlining the major features of the landscape using the line drawings as a reference. This will help you accurately position the viaduct, river, and hills.

Artist's Grid: If you are using the grid version, lightly sketch grid lines on your canvas to help with proportion and scale. Match the grid sections to corresponding areas in the source image.

Painting Instructions

1. Underpainting

  1. Mix a light wash of blue and green to create an underpainting for the sky and hills. This establishes a tonal foundation.
  2. Apply the wash over the entire canvas, focusing on the areas that will be covered with landscape elements.

2. Sky and Background

  1. Begin with the sky using light blue and white to create soft, blended clouds.
  2. For the distant mountains, mix cooler blues and purples for depth. Use smooth horizontal strokes for a seamless horizon.

3. The Viaduct

  1. Use dark grays and browns for the structure of the viaduct. Start with broad strokes and refine the arches with a smaller brush.
  2. Add highlights and shadows to convey dimension and form.

4. Hills and Foreground

  1. Mix various shades of green and yellow to depict the rolling hills. Use angular, dynamic strokes to capture the texture.
  2. Incorporate darker greens and browns for shadows to create depth and contrast in the foreground.

5. River and Final Touches

  1. Paint the river using a mixture of blues and allow for white highlights where the light hits the water.
  2. Add details to plants and trees in the foreground using dark green and bright yellow to add vibrancy.
  3. Assess the painting for any areas needing adjustment or additional highlights and shadows.

Final Step: Stand back and view the painting as a whole, ensuring balance and cohesion throughout the artwork. Adjust as necessary for the final touch.
