  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail
  • Acrylic paints: assorted colors as indicated by the color wheel

Using the Included Tools

The line drawings and sketches included in the Paint-Your-Own Pack will serve as your initial guideline. The optional artist’s grid will help you achieve composition accuracy. Utilize these resources to map out key elements of the landscape before applying paint.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Canvas
    • Set up your workspace with good lighting and all materials within reach.
    • Apply a light base coat of white or light grey paint to your canvas to ensure colors apply smoothly.
  2. Sketch the Basic Outline
    • Using the line drawing, lightly sketch the major elements of The Cairnwell scene onto your canvas with a pencil or a thin brush.
    • If using the grid version, align your sketch accurately with the grid squares for precision.
  3. Block in Large Areas of Color
    • Start with the sky. Mix light blues and whites for a natural gradient effect.
    • Apply broad strokes of deep blues and greens for the mountains and hills. Refer to the color wheel for blending tips.
    • Fill in the fields with shades of yellow and green, adding hints of orange for warmth.
  4. Add Details and Textures
    • Use smaller brushes to detail trees and shadows. Mix darker tones for texture and depth.
    • Highlight the river with lighter colors, using horizontal strokes to capture its flow.
  5. Focus on Light and Shadow
    • Emphasize the contrast between light and shadow by deepening shadows with dark purples and adding highlights with light yellows.
    • Blend edges softly where needed for a more seamless appearance.
  6. Final Touches
    • Step back and review your work. Add any final details that enhance depth and structure.
    • Let your painting dry completely before displaying it.

Take your time as you work through each step, allowing yourself to be absorbed in the landscape’s beauty and tranquility. Each brushstroke brings you closer to capturing the essence of The Cairnwell. Happy painting!
