Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Acrylic or oil paints (as per the color palette provided)
Brushes in various sizes

Cup of water (for acrylics) or turpentine (for oils)

Using the Materials in Your Pack

Line Drawings: Use as a reference to sketch the key elements onto your canvas.
Grid Version: Assist in accurate placement of elements by marking your canvas with a light pencil grid.
Color Wheel: Guide your color mixing for achieving the correct hues and tones.

Painting Steps

Prepare Your Canvas: Using a light graphite pencil, sketch the horizon line and basic shapes using the line drawings as a guide. If using the grid method, lightly mark the canvas and locate important features according to the grid layout.
Background Wash: Begin with a thin wash of blue for the sky, gradually blending into soft yellows and oranges near the rising sun. Allow the wash to dry completely before proceeding.
Establish the Sky: Build up the sky with thicker paint, using a combination of blues and purples for the upper sky and transitioning to warm yellows and pinks around the sun. Use bold, sweeping brushstrokes to mimic the impressionistic style.
Define the Water: Layer light blues and greens to capture the reflective surface of the loch. Use a palette knife to create texture and add white highlights to represent sunlight dancing on the water.
Paint the Hills: Apply varying shades of purple and dark blue to define the distant hills. Use softer edges to imply distance and atmosphere, gently blending into the sky.
Add the Foreground: Use earth tones such as browns, greens, and deep purples to paint the shoreline. Add texture and movement using a combination of brush and knife techniques.
Detailing Trees and Rocks: With a smaller brush, detail the trees and rocks, using contrasting colors for light and shadow to provide depth and vibrancy.
Final Touches: Add any necessary highlights or darken shadows to enhance the overall composition. Ensure the transition between each element feels natural and cohesive.

Finishing Up

Step back and evaluate your painting. Make any adjustments needed to ensure harmony and balance across your composition. Remember, your rendition of Loch Spelve is unique, and subtle differences from the original add to its charm. Enjoy the process and your beautiful finished artwork!
