Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Creag Leacach captures the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The scene is dominated by dramatic mountains under a moody sky, with a pristine white cottage nestled in the landscape. A winding stream leads the eye through the painting, adding depth and movement. The color palette features monochromatic grays and earthy tones, contrasting with the stark white of the cottage. The impressionistic style uses bold, expressive brushstrokes to convey the raw emotion and atmosphere of the location, creating a sense of solitude and majesty.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints matching the color wheel provided
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Pencil
  • Palette for mixing paints
  • Ruler (if using the grid)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by using the line drawings to trace or lightly sketch the major elements onto your canvas. If you're working with the grid version, use a ruler to create a grid on your canvas that matches the scale of the provided grid image, helping you place elements accurately.

Composition and Layout

  1. Outline the Scene: Use a pencil to lightly outline the major elements: the mountains, cottage, and stream. Focus on shapes and proportions.
  2. Grid Technique: If using the grid, ensure each part of the image is sketched in the corresponding grid square on your canvas.

Painting the Sky

  1. Base Layer: Start with a flat brush and mix light grays and whites. Paint broad horizontal strokes for the sky, gradually blending into darker greys at the top.
  2. Clouds: Use a round brush and darker gray to add clouds, blending them into the background for a soft look.

Mountains and Background

  1. Underpainting: Use darker grays and blues to block in the mountain shapes. Work from the back mountains to the front for depth.
  2. Texture and Detail: Add texture with a flat brush using varying shades of gray. Use stippling and sweeping strokes to suggest ridges and slopes.

The Cottage

  1. Base Color: Paint the cottage white. Use a fine brush for details like windows and roof edges.
  2. Shadows: Add shadows with a mix of gray and blue to give dimension and contrast.

Foreground and Stream

  1. Stream: Use pure white and light gray strokes for the stream, adding gentle curves to imply movement.
  2. Grass and Foliage: Mix earthy tones for the landscape. Use a dry brush to create texture and depth.
  3. Fence Posts: Dot in fence posts with a small detail brush using dark brown or black.

Final Touches

  • Adjust colors and contrasts to match the dynamism of the original painting.
  • Use a fine brush for any remaining details and touch-ups.

Take a step back to assess your work, ensuring all elements harmonize well. Enjoy the process of bringing a piece of the Scottish Highlands to life!
