Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This enchanting painting of Edinburgh captures the city’s unique skyline atop a colorful sea of stylized autumn trees. The artwork showcases charming medieval buildings and turrets against a backdrop of expansive, softly rendered clouds. Warm autumnal shades—orange, red, and gold—dominate the foreground, while cool blues and grays accentuate the rooftops and distant structures. The artistic style combines elements of abstraction and realism, seamlessly blending color and form to create a vibrant urban landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Paint set (acrylics or oils recommended)
  • Brushes (flat, round, and detail)
  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cup of water and cloth (for cleaning brushes)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Before starting, examine the included line drawings and optional grid. These tools will help you accurately place key elements of the painting.

  • Line Drawings: Use these as an outline guide. Lightly sketch the main structures and trees on your canvas to establish the composition.
  • Grid Version: If you chose this method, align the grid lines with your canvas to ensure precise proportions and perspectives.

Painting Steps

  1. Background and Sky:

    Start with a light base layer of the sky, using wide brushes to blend soft white and pastel hues. Focus on the cloud formations, ensuring seamless transitions between shades.

  2. Building Structures:

    Block in the main shapes of the buildings using muted grays and earthy tones. Gradually layer colors, paying attention to the varying rooftop colors. Add darker lines for the roofs and windows as details.

  3. Trees and Foreground:

    Apply rich autumn colors in overlapping circles for the trees. Use a variety of orange, red, and yellow hues to create depth. Employ harsher black lines to sketch out the bare tree branches and trunks.

  4. Details and Refinements:

    Refine the painting by adding architectural details to the buildings and soft highlights to the clouds. Use a fine brush for detailing windows and doors, and adjust highlights and shadows for realism.

  5. Final Touches:

    Review the entire painting, make any necessary adjustments to color balance, and let it dry completely before displaying.

Color Palette

Utilize the included color wheel for reference. The dominant autumn tones create warmth, while the cooler shades in the buildings and sky add balance. Experiment with mixing these colors to match the original painting.
