Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glencoe in Scotland captures the majestic beauty of its rugged landscape through geometric abstraction. Amidst a palette of earthy tones, sharp angles and triangular forms evoke the towering peaks of the region. This artwork skillfully balances warm oranges and reds with cooler grays, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The style merges realism with abstraction, guiding the viewer’s eye upwards to appreciate the grandeur of nature while also inviting introspection through simplistic human forms at the base. The composition harmonizes strength and serenity, making it both captivating and contemplative.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints or watercolors: Refer to the included colour wheel for specific shades
  • Brushes: Assorted sizes including small detail brushes
  • Canvas or watercolor paper
  • Pencil for sketching outlines
  • Eraser
  • Palette
  • Water cup (for watercolors)

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace: Ensure you have good lighting and a flat, stable surface.
  2. Study the Source Image: Examine the painting to understand the composition and colours.
  3. Reference Line Drawings: Use the provided line drawings to familiarize yourself with the basic structure. If you’re using the grid version, ensure your canvas is similarly gridded.

Sketching the Outline

  1. Grid Alignment (if using grids): Align your grid on the canvas with the grid version of the line drawing in your pack.
  2. Sketch Lightly: With a pencil, lightly sketch the main geometric forms, aligning with the drawing lines.
  3. Add Details: Outline the smaller elements, like the human figures at the bottom of the composition, using gentle strokes.

Painting the Background

  1. Visually Divide the Sky and Mountains: Begin with a wash of light cream or beige tones to create the sky, using broad strokes.
  2. Lay the Base for Mountains: Apply a gradient of grays and taupe for the mountains, ensuring smooth transitions between the peaks.

Painting the Mountain Forms

  1. Define Individual Peaks: Utilize the geometric outlines, using darker grays and blacks for the shadowed areas on each peak.
  2. Highlight with Colors: Add the warm orange and red tones to several peaks, creating a vivid contrast against the more muted colors. Refer to the colour palette for guidance.
  3. Blend Carefully: Ensure each geometric section is cleanly defined to maintain the abstract aesthetic. Use smaller brushes for precision.

Adding Human Elements

  1. Paint Human Figures: Use a deep, muted color like dark brown or black for the figures at the base of the painting. Use small brushes to capture detail.
  2. Emotion Through Simplicity: Focus on the silhouette to convey connection and scale against the vast landscape.

Final Touches

  1. Detail and Adjust: Refine edges and contrasts to enhance depth. Add any missing details or color corrections.
  2. Let It Dry: Allow the painting to fully dry. If working with acrylics, consider a final sealant for protection.
