Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paint set
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Palette
  • Water cup
  • Paper towels
  • The included Paint-Your-Own Pack with reference images and grids

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace: Ensure you have plenty of light and all your materials ready. Tape your canvas to the table to keep it from moving.
  2. Review the reference image: Study the source painting to understand the composition, color palette, and brushwork.
  3. Use the grid: If using the grid version, lightly sketch it onto your canvas to help with proportion and composition accuracy.

Painting Process

1. Background and Underpainting

  1. Mix base colors: Use your palette to mix soft greens and blues for the background.
  2. Paint the sky and backdrop: Use a wide brush to apply a thin layer of paint for the sky, moving down to create hills with sweeping strokes.
  3. Lay in the river: With varying shades of blue, sketch the river shape, focusing on the lighter areas where the light hits the water.

2. Add Structural Elements

  1. Sketch the bridge: Using a medium brush and a soft neutral color, sketch the bridge's outline, ensuring it's proportionate to the scene.
  2. Paint the bridge: Apply layers of whites or light grays to build the bridge, blending darker tones for shadow areas underneath and around the arches.
  3. Define the trees: Use a darker green mixed with browns to paint tree outlines, adding a hint of autumnal yellow and orange for leaves.

3. Develop Foreground and Details

  1. Add reflections: Use your brush to create reflections in the water, mirroring the colors above with softened lines and blending.
  2. Emphasize vibrant areas: Mix and apply bold colors like vibrant orange and yellows to sections of the riverbank.
  3. Detail the foliage: With a small brush, enhance tree branches and leaves with varying green hues for depth.
  4. Final adjustments: Add any additional highlights or shadows for a cohesive look. Step back to evaluate balance and make necessary touch-ups.

4. Finishing Touches

  1. Review the painting: Let the painting dry slightly, then assess if any areas need refinement or additional layers.
  2. Varnish and seal: Once completely dry, apply a clear varnish to protect and enhance the colors.

Enjoy the process as you recreate the beautiful River Earn, bringing your own touch to this captivating landscape. Each brushstroke brings you closer to the heart of Scotland's natural beauty.
