Line Drawings: Utilize the line drawings to outline the major elements of the painting. This will assist in keeping proportions accurate and ensuring essential features are in their proper places.
Artists Grid: If using the grid version, align your drawing with the grid to aid in composition accuracy. This tool can help break down the image into manageable sections, making it easier to focus on details.
Begin with the sky, using a broad flat brush. Mix soft yellows and light blues, and apply them in sweeping strokes to create a smooth gradient. Allow some areas to blend more than others for a natural, cloudy look.
Using deep blues and purples, shape the distant mountains with a slightly darker tone to give depth. Use a smaller brush for sharper lines and to suggest rugged peaks and valleys.
Add trees using darker greens and browns. For rocks, apply greys with touches of the surrounding colors to integrate them into the scene naturally and add dimension with highlights and shadows.
Review the entire painting, adjusting any colors or details that require refinement. Add highlights or deepen shadows to enhance depth and focus areas. Step back occasionally to see the artwork as a whole and ensure balanced composition.
By following these focused steps and utilizing the materials within your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you will be able to recreate this serene Scottish landscape. Enjoy the process, and let the colors and textures guide you to create a personalized masterpiece!
