Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Liathach captures the majestic beauty of this iconic Scottish mountain range. With bold contrasts and subtle transitional tones, the artwork highlights the rugged peaks against a dynamic sky. The earthy browns and deep blacks of the mountain create a sharp juxtaposition with the soft, cloud-laden upper sky, and the serene, reflective river flowing through the lower landscape. This painting employs an impressionistic style that emphasizes texture and movement, inviting viewers to experience the drama and tranquility of the Highland scenery.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed:

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the color palette)
  • Brushes (flat, round, and detail brushes)
  • Palette for mixing paints
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Optional: Easel

Using the Line Drawings and Grid:

The line drawings and grid included in your pack are essential for maintaining the accuracy and proportion of the painting. Start by transferring the main outlines of Liathach and other key elements using the grid to keep everything aligned correctly.

  1. Prepare Your Canvas:
    • Set up your canvas and apply a thin layer of gesso if desired. Let it dry completely.
  2. Transfer the Image:
    • Use the line drawing and grid to sketch the basic outlines of the mountain, sky, and river onto your canvas.
    • Refer closely to the grid for accurate proportions.
  3. Paint the Sky:
    • Mix a light gray using white, a touch of black, and blue for the clouded sky. Apply this to the upper part using a flat brush.
    • Blend lightly to create a smooth transition between the lighter and darker areas.
  4. Define the Mountain:
    • Begin with the dark sections of the mountain. Mix black with dark brown for shadows.
    • Use rough, textural strokes to mimic the rugged peaks, allowing areas of lighter brown to show through on the lit slopes.
  5. Add Earthy Tones:
    • Using a mix of mid-brown and reddish-brown, add the ground around the base of the mountain.
    • Blend gently into the darker mountain shades to create a natural gradient.
  6. Paint the River:
    • For the river, apply a reflective blue-gray with small dabs of white to demonstrate movement and light reflection.
    • Ensure the river’s flow complements the horizontal axis of the painting.
  7. Final Touches:
    • Add details to the rocky foreground with a small brush, using a variety of browns and blacks.
    • Consider enhancing textures and highlights using white or lighter shades sparingly for contrast.
  8. Review and Adjust:
    • Step back periodically to view your painting as a whole, adjusting any areas as needed to match the original’s drama and texture.

Enjoy the process and let your personal artistic style shine through as you recreate the stunning landscape of Liathach!
