Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Creag Leacach captures the majestic beauty of Scotland's rugged landscape, blending the serene and dramatic elements of nature with masterful strokes. The central focus lies on the dynamic interplay between the moody, cloud-laden sky and the tranquil earth tones of the rolling hills. At the base, a modest white cottage anchors the viewer, contrasting with the dark, sweeping mountains in the background, while vibrant yellows and oranges infuse warmth into the landscape. The impressionistic style with bold, textured brushstrokes creates a dynamic visual flow, drawing the viewer through the atmospheric scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints (as shown in the provided colour wheel)
  • Brushes of various sizes (flat, round, and detail)
  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Palette for mixing
  • Cup of water and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Your Paint-Your-Own Pack components

1. Prepare Your Canvas

Begin by setting up your painting area with good lighting. Use the line drawing from the pack to sketch the main shapes of the landscape lightly with pencil, or use the optional grid version for more precision. Ensure the elements are in proportion, referring to the source painting image for guidance.

2. Paint the Sky

  1. Mix light grey tones using white and a touch of black to create the overcast sky.
  2. Apply this with broad strokes using a flat brush to cover the upper two-thirds of your canvas.
  3. Add dynamic cloud formations with various shades of grey, using the source image to guide their placement and shape.
  4. Incorporate touches of darker grey to add depth and movement to the clouds.

3. Establish the Mountains

  1. Mix a deeper grey and apply it to outline the mountain ranges surrounding the valley.
  2. Use a mix of blacks and darker browns for shadows and contours, referring to the sketches for accuracy.
  3. Blend to create a smooth but varied texture, mimicking the natural gradients visible in the painting.

4. Detail the Foreground

  1. Work on the mid-ground first, using a mix of earthy browns and yellows to depict the rolling hills and surfaces.
  2. Introduce bold strokes of orange and yellow to replicate the vibrant warmth and texture in the landscape.
  3. Refer to the source painting to guide the contrast and highlights, adjusting for depth and perspective.

5. Paint the Cottage

  1. Using a small detail brush, paint the cottage with pure white for the walls, adding a slight shadow with grey along one side to create dimension.
  2. For the roof, use light grey tones to differentiate from the walls, and add darker lines for texture and details.

6. Add Final Details

  1. Go over your painting and add any missing details, such as refining the outline of rocks and highlights in the foreground.
  2. Use the sketches to emphasize contours and darker shades in the rocks and landscape, ensuring they contrast against the bright elements.

7. Finishing Touches

  • Let your painting dry completely, then take a step back and assess the overall composition.
  • Make any final adjustments, and apply a sealant if desired to protect your artwork.

By following these steps and using the materials provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you’ll be able to recreate the stunning scene of Creag Leacach with its dynamic and atmospheric qualities.
