Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Glen Esk, nestled in the heart of Scotland, is captured in this vibrant and visually striking painting. The artwork showcases the incredible contrast between the serene river meandering through the valley and the bold, vivid hues of the surrounding landscape. Rich blues and purples dominate the distant mountains, while fiery oranges and yellows bring the trees to life beneath the expansive, softly lit sky. This modern impressionistic style evokes a sense of wonder and tranquility, inviting the viewer to explore the beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed:

Canvas or watercolor paper (size of your choice)
Acrylic or oil paints (refer to your colour wheel for specific shades)
Brushes in various sizes (large flat, medium round, small detail)
Palette
Water and clean cloth (for acrylics)

Step 1: Setting the Foundation

Use the Grid: Begin by transferring the line drawing onto your canvas. Place the grid from your Paint-Your-Own Pack over your canvas. This will help maintain composition accuracy. Lightly sketch the outlines using a pencil.
Base Layer: Apply a thin wash of light blue and purple tones to create an underpainting. This sets the mood and harmonizes the final look.

Step 2: Painting the Sky

Sky Gradient: Use a large flat brush to blend soft whites and pastel blues. Add hints of warm pinks and yellows to mimic the setting sun’s glow.
Cloud Details: With a smaller brush, add fluffier whites and warm highlights for depth and texture.

Step 3: Defining the Mountains

Mountain Shadows: Mix rich blues and purples. Use a medium brush to capture the shadows and outlines of the mountains against the sky.
Highlights: Lightly blend in more muted colors along the peaks and ridges to illustrate distance and form, using a dry brush technique.

Step 4: Bringing the Valley to Life

River: Paint the river using flowing strokes of light blues and whites, capturing the gentle shimmer of water.
Fields and Trees: Use bold strokes of oranges and yellows for the trees. Blend greens and purples in the fields, adding texture with a fan brush for grass details.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Details and Depth: With a small detail brush, refine edges where necessary and add texture to trees and grass.
Final Highlights: Enhance the vibrancy by adding final touches of bright yellow and orange on the tree leaves and bushes.

Step 6: Final Review

Step back and assess your painting. Adjust any areas for harmony and balance.
Allow the painting to dry completely, then sign and date your artwork.

By following these structured steps and utilizing your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you will capture the enchanting essence of Glen Esk, bringing the scenic beauty of the Scottish Highlands into your space.
