Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Liathach in Scotland captures the majestic and rugged beauty of one of Scotland's iconic mountains. Dominating the canvas are the steep, dramatic peaks, shrouded in mist and light. The serene water body in the foreground reflects a muted palette of deep greens, cool blues, and rich earthy tones, conveying a sense of tranquility amidst the wilderness. The brushwork is expressive, capturing the texture of the landscape with a sense of realism intertwined with emotional depth. The play of light and shadow across the mountains provides depth and contrast, creating an enthralling visual journey that invites the viewer to explore the natural wonders of the Scottish Highlands.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Paintbrushes in various sizes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Line drawing or grid (from the Paint-Your-Own Pack)
  • Color wheel (included in the pack)

Preparation

Unpack your Paint-Your-Own Pack and choose whether to use the line drawings, sketches, or the artist's grid as your base. The grid can help you accurately place elements by matching them with your reference.

1. Sketch the Composition

  1. Use the provided line drawing or grid to sketch the basic outline of the mountains, water, and rocks onto your canvas.
  2. Focus on the main shapes and don't worry about the details yet. Ensure the proportions match the source image.

2. Block in the Sky

  1. Mix a palette of greys and whites for the sky. Use broad, sweeping strokes to cover the top third of the canvas.
  2. Allow the paint to blend slightly for a misty, cloudy effect.

3. Outline the Mountain Shapes

  1. Mix dark greens, deep blues, and shadow greens for the mountains.
  2. Using a larger brush, begin outlining the main mountain shapes, focusing on the shadows to add dimension.

4. Add Midtones and Highlights

  1. With your mid-tone greens and browns from the color wheel, start filling in the middle layers of the mountains.
  2. Use lighter colors to highlight areas that catch the light, especially on the peaks and near the edges.

5. Paint the Water

  1. Capture the reflections on the water with soft greys and blues. Use horizontal strokes to convey the water's surface.
  2. Add subtle highlights with white to mimic the play of light.

6. Detail the Foreground Rocks

  1. For the rocks, mix dark grey, brown, and black tones.
  2. Use a smaller brush for the detailed work, capturing the rough textures and shadows.
  3. Highlight select areas with lighter tones to show depth and form.

7. Final Adjustments

  1. Step back and examine your work, adjusting tones and colors to match your original reference.
  2. Enhance the dynamics of light and shadow for added depth.
  3. Let your painting dry completely before sealing or framing.
