Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of the Isle of Lewis captures the vibrant and rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape. Using an impressionistic style, the artist skillfully blends bold colors and sweeping brushstrokes to depict the island's rolling hills, scattered rocks, and serene sky and sea. The striking contrast between the lush greens, deep purples, and bright blues conveys both the tranquility and dynamic energy of the scene. The serene water reflects the sky's soft colors, creating a harmonious balance that evokes a sense of peace and natural splendor.

Painting Guide

Preparation

  • Unpack your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Study the source painting image, line drawings, and color palette provided.
  • Set up your workspace with proper lighting and gather all necessary painting supplies.
  • Decide if you will use the grid system for accuracy. If so, overlay the grid to your canvas as outlined in the pack.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Use the line drawings for guidance. Begin by lightly sketching the major shapes and lines of the landscape onto your canvas using a pencil.
  2. Focus on outlining key elements: the distant hills, the shoreline, and the areas of vegetation.
  3. Adjust your lines, using the grid for proportion, to ensure the composition matches the original layout.

Step 2: Establish the Background

  1. Mix a light grey and a soft blue to create the sky. Use broad, sweeping brushstrokes to lay down this base, allowing for some light blending.
  2. Paint the distant hills with muted purples and blues. Focus on creating a soft gradient as they meet the sky.
  3. Introduce subtle pink and orange hues near the horizon to enhance the vibrant atmosphere.

Step 3: Paint the Midground

  1. Using rich blues and greens, define the midground water. Add depth by varying the shades and blending colors smoothly.
  2. Outline the rocky islands with darker tones for contrast. Ensure the colors transition harmoniously with the background.
  3. Begin to layer in the patches of field and meadows using bright greens and yellows, adding texture with varied brushstrokes.

Step 4: Develop the Foreground

  1. Apply more vivid and bold greens to capture the intensity of the foreground vegetation.
  2. Blend in earthy oranges and blues to suggest shadows and give form to the landscape's rolling terrain.
  3. Use the line drawing and grid as needed to position elements accurately. Incorporate loose strokes to maintain an impressionistic feel.

Step 5: Final Details

  1. Add definition to the path and focal rocks using lighter shades to highlight and darker tones for shadows.
  2. Introduce any final touch-ups to enhance the overall harmony and balance of the color palette.
  3. Allow the painting to dry completely before assessing any finishing touches needed.

Using the Grid and Line Drawing Effectively

Grid: Use the grid approach to keep proportions correct. Match grid squares on your canvas with those on the guide to place elements precisely. Line Drawings: These serve as a blueprint. Use them to ensure you're accurately capturing shapes and forms throughout the painting process.
