Preparation

Utilize the Line Drawings and Grid:

Print the line drawing to use as a reference. If you’re using the grid version, align your canvas with the grid to map out key elements.
Sketch the main outlines lightly on your canvas, focusing on the river's flow and field divisions.

Step 1: Painting the Sky and Horizon

Mix a light gray-blue for the sky. With a wide brush, paint horizontal strokes to create the soft, muted sky.
Add a darker hue at the horizon to hint at distant hills, blending slightly with the sky for depth.

Step 2: Laying Down the River

Mix varying shades of blue for the river, starting with lighter tones. Use the reference to follow the river’s winding path.
Paint using confident strokes, allowing the flow and direction to guide your brushwork.

Step 3: Defining the Fields

Select shades from your palette that range from bright yellow-greens to dark forest greens.
Begin with the lighter fields, ensuring tight, angular shapes to reflect the stylized nature of the artwork.
Layer darker greens, contrasting them with the lighter fields. Observe the reference image to maintain harmony and balance.

Step 4: Creating the Trees and Shadows

Mix deep greens and blues for the tree clusters. Use a smaller brush to add rounded tree shapes alongside the river.
Add shadows beneath and between the trees, using a blend of dark green and blue.

Step 5: Final Touches and Details

Refine Edges: Clean up the boundaries between fields, trees, and river to ensure clear, defined shapes.
Add Highlights: Use lighter hues of green and blue to add highlights where the sun might catch the landscape, enhancing depth and dimension.
Review Composition: Step back and assess. Adjust colors or shapes to maintain the painting's balance and vibrancy.

With these steps, you’ll recreate the dynamic and inviting landscape of the River Tweed, capturing the essence of Scotland’s natural beauty with your own artistic touch. Enjoy the painting process, and let your intuition guide you through this creative journey!
