Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of River Dee in Scotland is a vibrant abstract interpretation of the natural landscape. It captures the fluid motion of the river as it winds through an autumnal landscape. The artwork is characterized by its bold use of geometric shapes and a warm color palette comprising rich oranges, yellows, and soft earth tones. The style echoes elements of cubism with a modern twist, creating a sense of harmony and balance. The trees along the riverbank are simplified yet expressive, contributing to the rhythmic flow of the composition.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Acrylic paints in the colors provided in the pack
Various brushes (flat, round, detail)

Cup of water for cleaning brushes
Paper towels

Initial Setup

Set up your workspace with good lighting and all your materials within reach.

Painting Process

1. Background

Sky: Start by painting the sky with a very light wash using the palest tones on your palette. This sets the stage for the rest of the painting.
Mountains: Use moderate blues and greens. Allow the colors to blend softly for a natural transition.

2. River and Foreground

River: Implement soft blues and whites to depict the flowing water. Use gentle brush strokes to mimic movement.
Foreground Shapes: Use varied shades of green, orange, and yellow. Mix colors to create depth and harmony, referencing the color wheel in your pack.

3. Trees and Foliage

Tree Trunks and Branches: Use deep browns and black for the branches. Keep lines smooth and flowing, consistent with the abstract style.
Leaves: Use warm tones—reds, oranges, and yellows. Layer the colors to give the trees a vibrant, lively appearance.

4. Final Details

Enhance Details: Refine edges with a small detail brush. Look for areas that need more contrast or blending.
Review: Step back from your canvas and evaluate the balance of colors and shapes. Make any necessary adjustments.

Using Line Drawings and Grids

The line drawings provide a basic structure. Use them to position key elements accurately.
The grid version acts as a guide to maintain the proportions and relationships of shapes in the painting.

Conclusion

Take your time with each section, allowing yourself to enjoy the process of recreating this captivating abstract landscape of the River Dee. Use the color palette as your guide and feel free to infuse your personal touches while staying true to the source painting's essence.
