Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glen Shiel captures the awe-inspiring beauty and rugged landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Majestic mountains sweep across the canvas, shrouded in misty hues of blue and grey, evoking a sense of mystery and grandeur. The foreground features a wild river cutting through a rocky terrain, rendered in earthy tones of brown and ochre, contrasting with the soft skies above. This dynamic composition invites viewers to lose themselves in the serene yet dramatic scenery, epitomizing the untamed spirit of Scotland.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or painting paper
Brushes (flat, round, and detail)
Acrylic paints or oil paints
Palette knife (for texture)
Palette for mixing
Cup of water (for acrylic) or linseed oil (for oil paint)
Paper towels or cloth

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Refer to the included line drawings to sketch the basic composition onto your canvas. Utilize the optional artist’s grid for precision by aligning it with your canvas. This will ensure your proportions match those of the source painting.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

Use a light pencil or diluted paint to sketch the main outlines provided in the line drawing onto your canvas.
Focus on the key features: the mountain range, river, and foreground rocks.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

Mix gentle shades of grey and blue from your color wheel.
Apply these colors using a large flat brush, creating blended strokes to represent clouds and atmospheric depth.

Step 3: Paint the Mountains

Gradually build up layers using dark blues and greys.
Use a palette knife to add texture and dimension, mimicking the rugged surface of the mountains.
Add highlights and shadows by adjusting the pressure and angle of the palette knife.

Step 4: Paint the Foreground

Use earthy tones like browns, ochres, and muted greens for the ground and rocks.
Alternating between brush and palette knife, build a sense of depth and texture.
Highlight the light reflecting off the rocks with lighter tones.

Step 5: Paint the River

Mix a bright white with a touch of blue for the river.
Use flowing brush strokes to depict the movement of water.
Add shadows and highlights to suggest reflections and depth.

Step 6: Final Touches

Refine the edges and add any additional details to enhance clarity and focus.
Ensure your shadows and highlights are balanced, providing a cohesive and dynamic image.

Tips for Success

Regularly step back to view the painting from a distance for perspective.
Use the color wheel to ensure your hues are harmonious with the original painting.
Don’t rush the process; allow your layers to dry appropriately.

Follow these steps with care, and enjoy the process of recreating the stunning landscape of Glen Shiel. Happy painting!
