Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The vibrant painting of Glen Roy in Scotland captures the ethereal beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The scene is dominated by rolling hills, bathed in shades of violet and blue, contrasting with the warm oranges and yellows of the meandering valley below. A serene river gently cuts through the landscape, reflecting the tranquil blues of the sky. The bold, impressionistic strokes and vivid colour palette imbue the painting with a sense of movement and emotion, enticing the viewer into this tranquil yet dramatic scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints (as shown in the colour palette)
  • Brushes: small detail brush, medium round brush, large flat brush
  • Canvas or heavy paper
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cup of water (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)
  • Rag or paper towel

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack can help you accurately recreate the composition of the painting. Use the grid to ensure that the proportions of the landscape elements are correct and place key features like the river, hills, and trees with precision.

Getting Started

  1. Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure you have good lighting and all your materials at hand. Secure your canvas or paper on a flat surface or easel.
  2. Transfer the Line Drawing: Use the provided line drawing or grid to sketch the basic outlines onto your canvas lightly with a pencil.

Painting the Sky

  1. Mix Light Blue and White: Use your palette to mix a light blue with a touch of white for the sky. Apply with a large flat brush for broad strokes.
  2. Add Clouds: Use the same brush dipped in white to create fluffy clouds, blending softly into the blue for a realistic effect.

Creating the Hills

  1. Mix Purple and Blue: For the distant hills, combine purple and blue for a cool, shadowed look. Employ a medium round brush for detail.
  2. Highlight with Light Purple: Add light purple for highlights on the hills’ edges where the light touches.

Painting the Valley

  1. Blend Warm Colors: Mix vibrant yellows and oranges for the sunlit parts of the valley. A large flat brush will help create sweeping strokes.
  2. Add Details: With a medium brush, use green and brown hues to add depth, representing foliage and rocks.

Depicting the River

  1. Mix Blues: Create a mix of light and dark blues for the river. Use a small detail brush to follow the river’s curves.
  2. Add Reflections: Incorporate some surrounding colors reflected in the water for a realistic touch.

Finishing Touches

  1. Highlight Trees: Use a mix of dark greens with red and brown for the trees, applying with a small brush.
  2. Add Texture: Use the edge of your brush or even a palette knife to create texture on the rocks and foliage.
  3. Review and Refine: Step back and observe your painting. Add final adjustments to ensure harmony and balance in colors and composition.

Enjoy the process and let your brushstrokes convey the serene beauty of Glen Roy. Happy painting!
