Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials

  • Acrylic or oil paints matching the included color wheel
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail sizes
  • Palette knife
  • Line drawing/sketch and grid (from the Paint-Your-Own Pack)

Painting Instructions

1. Sky

  1. Mix light gray and white to create the base sky background.
  2. Using a flat brush, apply broad horizontal strokes to mimic the movement and texture of clouds.
  3. Introduce darker grays and hints of blue to add depth and dynamic cloud formations.

2. Mountains and Hills

  1. Mix green, yellow, and brown for the hills.
  2. With a palette knife, apply layers to build the texture and contours of the hills, using radial strokes.
  3. For the mountains, use a dark blue-gray mix and apply it with a brush, creating a smooth gradient to depict their distant presence.

3. Water

  1. Mix various shades of blue and touch up with white for highlights.
  2. Using a large flat brush, apply even, horizontal strokes across the water area, allowing the movement of the waves to influence your brush direction.
  3. Add darker blue strokes to define the water’s surface and reflection effects.

4. Cottages

  1. Use white paint for the walls of the cottages.
  2. Employ a small brush for precision, adding black for the roofs and window details.
  3. Highlight one side with light gray to indicate shadow, providing depth and dimensionality.

5. Final Details and Touch-ups

  1. Review the painting for any areas needing additional detail or correction.
  2. Use a fine brush to refine edges and enhance contrasts where necessary.
  3. Allow the painting to dry thoroughly. Optionally, add a varnish to protect the finish once dried.
