Preparation

Set up your workspace ensuring good lighting and ventilation.
Inspect the color wheel provided; familiarize yourself with the colors available.
Review the source painting to understand the overall composition.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid are designed to guide the composition and proportions:

Line Drawings: Begin by sketching the outline on your canvas using the line drawing as a reference. This will serve as the skeleton of your painting.
Grid Layout: Use the grid version if you find it helpful for maintaining accurate proportions. Sketch the grid lightly on your canvas to guide where elements of the painting should be placed.

Painting Process

Background:
- Start by applying a base layer of the pale blue sky. Use wide brush strokes to fill in this area smoothly.
- Blend in patches of light warm hues in the upper sky area to add depth and contrast.
Foreground Elements:
- Layer varying blues and purples to depict the cool, tranquil waters in the foreground. Blend smoothly for a natural water effect.
- Add in the darker blues and purples for shadowy areas, utilizing quick, expressive strokes to capture movement and intensity.
Midground Details:
- Introduce warm vivid oranges and bright greens for the fields and rooftops, balancing the cool tones.
- Utilize bold brushstrokes to convey the lively textures of the shrubs and houses, focusing on contrast and rich color play for depth.
Distant Hills:
- Use deep blue tones to shape the hills in the background. Add subtle orange and yellow strokes along the horizon for emphasis and warmth.
- Maintain soft edges to suggest distance and atmosphere.
Final Touches:
- Review your painting for any areas requiring additional detail or refinement.
- Apply highlights in key areas using lighter shades to accentuate the composition's focal points.
