Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Sgùrr Dearg rises majestically against the backdrop of a moody sky, its jagged peak towering with a commanding presence. This painting captures the dramatic contrasts of dark, rugged rock and shimmering snow, rendered with bold, sweeping brushstrokes characteristic of an expressive, almost abstract style. The palette is dominated by deep blacks, cool grays, and crisp whites, with subtle touches of earthy tones warming the base of the mountain, offering a touch of depth and realism. The painting invites you to feel the wild and untamed beauty of Scotland’s iconic landscape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic paints: Black, White, Gray, Earthy Ochre
  • Brushes: Flat, Round, and Filbert
  • Palette knife (optional for texture)
  • Palette
  • Water and a cleaning rag

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid can assist in accurately sketching the mountain's outline. Use the grid to transfer the drawing onto your canvas, segment by segment. This ensures proportion and placement accuracy.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace:
    • Set up your canvas and reference the provided line drawing or grid. Secure your canvas to prevent movement.
  2. Sketch the Basic Outline:
    • Lightly sketch the outline of Sgùrr Dearg using a pencil. Use the grid method to maintain accurate proportions.
  3. Block in the Background:
    • Mix a light gray for the sky, applying it with a large flat brush. Use horizontal strokes to mimic the soft, diffused clouds.
  4. Paint the Mountain:
    • Start with the dark rock faces by mixing black and a touch of gray. Use a flat brush for the angular shapes, working from the summit down.
    • Add depth by incorporating darker areas and shadows where needed.
  5. Add Snow Highlights:
    • Use white and a little gray to create the snowy sections. Apply with a filbert brush or a palette knife for texture.
    • Apply strokes quickly for a textured appearance that reflects the dynamic style of the painting.
  6. Incorporate Ground Details:
    • Introduce earthy tones at the mountain's base. Mix ochre with some gray to suggest rocks and grassy areas.
    • Use short, decisive strokes to indicate rocky texture.
  7. Refine and Adjust:
    • Stand back, assess your work, and make necessary adjustments to contrast and detail.
    • Add any additional highlights or shadows for realism and depth.
  8. Finalize and Sign:
    • Let the painting dry completely. Add your signature in a corner, using a small brush and thinned paint.

Enjoy the exhilarating experience of bringing Sgùrr Dearg to life with your unique touch! Use the color wheel and palette to guide your color choices, ensuring fidelity to the original painting.
