Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glen Shiel captures the serene beauty of Scotland's Highland scenery through an abstract and geometric lens. Softly overlapping mountains in shades of coral, peach, and burnt orange create a vivid backdrop, while blocks of warm yellows and deep blues form the foreground. The sun sits above, casting a gentle golden hue on the scene. The play of light and shadow brings an intriguing depth, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of color and form. This composition uses a harmonious color palette, emphasizing balance and tranquility.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic paints: coral, peach, burnt orange, yellow, dark blue, grey
  • Brushes: flat and round
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Images from the Paint-Your-Own Pack
  • Optional: Artist’s grid overlay

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Start by setting up your workspace with all materials within reach. Use the included line drawing or grid as a guide. If using the grid, lightly sketch the main geometric outlines with a pencil on your canvas, taking care to position the sun and mountains accurately.

Step 2: Paint the Background

  1. Sky: Use a mix of soft peaches and light oranges to create the sky. Start from the top and work your way down, blending smoothly to capture the warmth of the sunset.
  2. Sun: Paint the sun using a bright, golden yellow. Keep the edges soft to blend it naturally into the sky.

Step 3: Paint the Mountains

  1. Using coral and burnt orange, paint the overlapping mountain shapes. Start from the farthest peaks and progress forward, using darker tones for the closer ranges for depth.
  2. Blend the colors where necessary to maintain the softness of the forms.

Step 4: Add the Foreground

  1. Paint the geometric blocks in the foreground, utilizing varying shades of yellows, greys, and deep blues. Use the included grid to position each block accurately.
  2. Focus on the contrast between warm and cool colors to emphasize depth and perspective. Use flat brushes for sharp edges, and switch to round brushes for softer transitions.

Step 5: Final Touches

  • Review the painting for any areas that need more detail or color balance. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure smooth transitions between forms and colors.
  • Add highlights or deep shadows to enhance the dimensionality of the scene.

Using the Artist’s Grid:

The grid provided in your pack will help maintain proportions and perspectives. Overlay it digitally or print and sketch lightly over it to avoid losing dimensionality. This is especially useful for ensuring the sun and mountain peaks align harmoniously within the composition.

By following these steps and utilizing the resources in your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you'll recreate the enchanting abstraction of Glen Shiel with confidence and precision. Enjoy the process and let the Highlands inspire you!
