Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or watercolor paper
  • Paint brushes (various sizes)
  • Acrylic or oil paints in the colors provided in your kit
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water jar and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Optional: Artists grid or line drawing provided in the PDF pack

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with all materials within easy reach.
  2. Place the source painting image and any sketches or line drawings near you for reference.
  3. If using the grid method, lightly sketch the grid on your canvas.

Painting Process

1. Background Sky and Mountains

  1. Mixing Colors: Begin by creating soft gray and white tones for the sky. Reference your color wheel for exact shades.
  2. Apply Base Layer: With a broad brush, gently apply these colors to the upper section of the canvas for the sky, allowing some blending for a cloudy effect.
  3. Gradients and Depth: Use darker grays and purples to outline the distant mountains, blending into lighter greys for the foggy peaks.

2. Midground and Water Reflection

  1. Midground Peaks: Paint the middle range mountains with a mixture of gray and soft violet tones, gradually adding darker shades to create depth.
  2. Lake Reflection: Blend blues and grays on the canvas to form the reflective surface of the lake, ensuring the reflections of mountains are somewhat blurred and lighter.

3. Foreground Details

  1. Rocks and Shore: For the rocks in the foreground, use a combination of blacks and warm orange tones. Focus on capturing their rugged, irregular shapes using strokes that mimic the texture of the rocks.
  2. Earthy Textures: Use a palette knife or dry brush technique to apply rustic oranges and browns for the land areas, creating a textured surface that contrasts with the smooth water.

4. Final Touches

  1. Enhance Depth: Adjust the contrast by deepening shadows on the mountains and rocks with darker tones.
  2. Highlight Details: With a fine brush, add lighter strokes to the peaks and rock surfaces to denote highlights and enhance realism.
  3. Review and Adjust: Compare your work with the source image, making any necessary adjustments in color balance or detail.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Line Drawings: Use these as a guide for accurately sketching the layout and proportions of the landscape elements on your canvas before painting.

Artists Grid: If precision is desired, apply the grid lightly to your canvas using pencil, referencing the grid version of the source image to ensure each section of the painting is proportionally accurate.

Enjoy the process of bringing this breathtaking landscape to life, embracing the textures and colors that define the heart of Liathach.
