Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine a serene landscape where the tranquil waters of Loch Earn in Scotland reflect the picturesque hills and trees that surround it. The painting captures a vibrant blend of warm and cool tones, juxtaposing the vivid oranges and yellows of the grassy banks and trees with the calming blues and purples of the distant hills. The composition draws the viewer’s eye across the water, towards the mountains, under a gentle, glowing sky. The painter’s style beautifully balances detail with broader strokes, offering a sense of peaceful wilderness and the ephemeral beauty of nature at dusk or dawn.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or acrylic paper
  • Acrylic paints matching the color palette provided in the PDF pack
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cup of water and paper towels for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Your Paint-Your-Own Pack includes line drawings and an optional artist’s grid. Start by transferring the line drawing onto your canvas using tracing paper. Alternatively, use the grid method provided to ensure accurate placement of major elements, such as the tree line, hills, and lake outline.

Painting the Sky

  1. Start with the Background: Using a large flat brush, mix a light creamy beige for the sky and apply it evenly. Let it dry.
  2. Create Depth: Gradually mix in light blues and soft oranges to give depth to the sky, carefully blending the colors with horizontal strokes.

Painting the Hills

  1. Base Layer: Mix shades of blue and purple to create the base of the distant hills. Use a medium brush for broad strokes.
  2. Add Variation: Incorporate darker purple shades in the shadowed areas and lighter blues where the light hits for contouring.

Painting the Water

  1. Base Colors: Using a medium flat brush, apply a base layer of light blue mixed with a small amount of purple to mimic the water's reflection.
  2. Reflections: Add highlights with a fine round brush using white and light orange tones to reflect the sky and surrounding trees in the water.

Painting the Grassy Bank and Trees

  1. Grassy Base: Use bright greens mixed with oranges and yellows to portray the vibrant grassy banks. Apply with broader sweeping motions.
  2. Tree Structure: Sketch the trees’ structures using darker shades of brown and purple. Use a fine brush for details.
  3. Foliage Details: Add the leaves and smaller branches using a mix of oranges, reds, and yellow for a warm autumn feel.

Final Touches

  1. Refining Details: Review the painting for any areas needing more detail or stronger contrast.
  2. Adding Texture: Use a dry brush technique to add texture to the hills and foliage, enhancing the painting’s depth.

Tip: Stand back often to view your work from a distance. This will help maintain the overall balance and harmony of the painting.
