Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting captures a vibrant view of Edinburgh, Scotland, showcasing its iconic skyline with an abstract flair. The composition consists of interlocking geometric shapes that represent buildings, adorned in warm hues of orange, red, and peach, contrasted with cool tones of grey and beige. Bare-branched trees in the foreground add a touch of stark beauty, balancing the architectural warmth with organic lines. The style is modern and abstract, utilizing a harmonious color palette that evokes the distinctive essence of the city.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or watercolor paper
Acrylic or watercolor paints in the provided color palette
Brushes: flat, round, and fine liner
Pencil for sketching
Palette for mixing colors
Water jar and cloth

Preparation

Before starting, set up your workspace with all materials within reach. Use the colour wheel provided to familiarize yourself with the palette, focusing on how warm and cool colors interplay in the painting.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

Use the line drawings from your PDF pack to sketch the basic outline on your canvas. If you're using the artist's grid, ensure your canvas is divided into matching sections to maintain proportional accuracy.

Step 2: Blocking in Colors

Start with the Background: Use diluted beige and warm off-whites to cover the sky area. This sets a subtle tone for the rest of the painting.
Paint the Buildings: Apply shades of orange, peach, and red to the block shapes representing buildings. Begin with lighter tones and build up to darker shades for depth.

Step 3: Add Structure and Details

Define Building Shapes: Use grey and darker tones to create depth and highlight the geometric shapes of the buildings. Add variations in tone to depict the cityscape's architectural intricacies.
Outline Windows and Doors: With a fine liner brush, add small rectangles and shapes to represent windows and doors, using darker, contrasting colors.

Step 4: Painting the Trees

With a fine liner brush, paint the intricate lines of the bare trees in the foreground using a deeper shade. Ensure the branches are delicately woven to convey their organic nature, complementing the structured geometry of the buildings.

Step 5: Final Touches

Enhance Color Relevance: Apply another layer to areas needing more vibrancy or contrast. This can be particularly effective for emphasizing building edges or tree outlines.
Refine Details: Focus on minor adjustments to ensure balance and captivate the abstract nature of the piece.

Finishing

Allow your painting to dry thoroughly. Stand back and assess if any areas need additional touches or highlights. Apply a protective varnish if using acrylics, to preserve your artwork.

With each stroke, remember that this painting represents not just a city but captures the spirit and vibrancy of Edinburgh through abstract form and color harmony. Enjoy the journey of bringing it to life in your own style!
