Using the Line Drawings and Artist’s Grid

The provided line drawings and artist’s grid will assist you in accurately placing the main elements of the landscape. Use the grid to ensure correct proportions and perspectives, referring back to the source image as needed.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Canvas
    • Use the line drawing to lightly sketch the main outlines onto your canvas.
    • Employ the grid if needed to assure accurate placement of mountains, river, and trees.
  2. Starting with the Background
    • Mix a range of blues and purples as shown in the color palette for the mountains.
    • Apply broad strokes with a flat brush for the sky and mountain areas, smoothing transitions with round brushes.
  3. Painting the Mountains and Valleys
    • Layer shades to create depth in the mountains using the darker blues and purples.
    • Use a palette knife for texture where the artist has emphasized the rugged terrain.
    • Add highlights with lighter touches of blue and hints of pink or peach at edges where light hits.
  4. Add Colors to the Fields
    • Apply various greens and yellows to depict the valleys and fields using expressive, horizontal strokes.
    • Emphasize contrast by adding bright patches of orange and yellow in sunlit areas.
  5. Detailing Trees and Water
    • Use deep greens for trees, adding darker tones for shadow and lighter for sunlit zones.
    • Depict the river with fluid strokes of blue and white for reflections and flow.
  6. Final Adjustments
    • Refine any details with a small round brush.
    • Check lighting coherence, adding highlights or shadows as needed to enhance depth.
