Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of the Isle of Lewis offers a modern, abstract interpretation of the Scottish landscape. Characterized by a harmonious blend of geometric shapes and soft pastels, it captures the tranquility and expansive beauty of the region. The composition features simplified forms, such as overlapping rectangles and arches, which suggest the rugged mountains, serene waters, and open skies. The color palette is a soothing mix of pastel greens, pinks, greys, and creams, creating a peaceful and balanced visual experience.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints in the colors provided on your color wheel.
  • Canvas or heavy art paper.
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes.
  • Palette for mixing colors.
  • Water container and cloth for cleaning brushes.

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with good lighting and lay out all your materials.
  2. Study the source painting image and become familiar with the overall layout and color scheme.
  3. Use the included line drawings, sketches, or artist grid to outline the basic shapes on your canvas. This will help maintain composition accuracy.

Painting Process

  1. Blocking in Basic Shapes:
    • Start by painting the large geometric shapes. Use a flat brush for smooth edges.
    • Apply a base coat of pastel cream for the background sky, letting it dry completely.
    • Outline the main form of the structure and mountain silhouettes using a light grey-green mix.
  2. Adding Layers and Depth:
    • Begin adding layers to convey depth. Use darker greens for the foreground shapes.
    • Paint the pink structure with a flat brush, ensuring clean edges.
    • For the water reflections, use a subtle blend of greens and greys to mimic the soft reflection of colors above.
  3. Detailing:
    • With a detail brush, refine any edges and correct lines to enhance the geometric forms.
    • Add the circular form at the top left making sure the gradient blend is smooth, transitioning from the background.
  4. Final Touches:
    • Adjust any tonal imbalances using the color palette as a reference.
    • Ensure edges are clean and shapes are distinct for a crisp finish.
    • Step back to assess the painting from a distance and make any necessary adjustments.

Using the Grid and Line Drawings

The included grid version can be particularly helpful in maintaining alignment and proportion as you transfer the image onto your canvas. Begin by sketching the grid lightly with pencil, and then follow the line drawing to position each geometric form accurately. This approach aids in preserving the structured, abstract nature of the artwork.

By following these steps and using the provided tools, you can successfully recreate this calming and elegant portrayal of the Isle of Lewis.
