Using the Paint-Your-Own Pack

Your pack includes a source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and optional artist's grid.

Line Drawings: These help outline the main features of the landscape. Use them to sketch the essentials onto your canvas.
Artist's Grid: For those seeking precision, the grid helps in scaling and positioning elements accurately. Overlay it on your reference and canvas.
Color Wheel: Use this to understand the palette and blend shades accurately.

Step 1: Sketching the Scene

Start with the Horizon: Using the grid, mark the horizon line dividing the sky and land.
Outline Key Features: Lightly sketch the outline of the hills, lake, and key structures using the line drawing as a guide.
Focus on Proportions: Pay attention to the scale of the distant hills relative to the foreground trees and structures.

Step 2: Blocking in Colors

Background First: Apply a base coat to the sky with light blues and soft whites, blending softly.
Define Foreground Elements: Use bold strokes to fill the hills with purples and greens. Use the color wheel to ensure tonal accuracy.
Add Water Reflections: Apply deep blues and hints of orange for the lake, reflecting the surrounding hills.

Step 3: Building Depth and Contrast

Layering Colors: Gradually add darker tones to the hills and trees for depth. Use sharper brushstrokes for texture.
Create Contrast: Add highlights using bright yellows and oranges to contrast the shadowed areas.

Step 4: Detailing and Finishing Touches

Refine Edges: Use a finer brush to clean up edges and add definition to structures.
Highlight Details: Subtly emphasize features like tree trunks and distant structures using lighter shades.
Final Adjustments: Step back to view the painting as a whole, making final tweaks to color balance and composition.

Step 5: Drying and Preservation

Allow your painting to dry completely.
For oil paintings, consider applying a varnish for added protection and sheen.

With time, patience, and attention to detail, you'll recreate the beauty of Glenesk, capturing the essence of this serene Scottish landscape.
