Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Paints: Blue hues, gray tones, white, yellow, and black
  • Brushes: Wide flat brush, medium round brush, fine detail brush
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and paper towels for cleaning brushes

Initial Sketch

  1. Using the line drawing provided in your pack, lightly sketch the basic outlines of the landscape with a pencil on your canvas.
  2. Pay attention to the horizon line and the positioning of the mountains and water. Use the optional grid version for more accuracy if needed.

Sky and Clouds

  1. Mix a variety of blues and grays for the sky. Begin with a wide flat brush, applying broad strokes to create a dynamic sky.
  2. Add depth to the clouds by layering lighter shades of gray and hints of white. Notice how the clouds dissipate towards the horizon.

Horizon and Water

  1. Using dark blue and black, paint the distant mountains, maintaining their silhouette against the brighter sky.
  2. For the water, blend blues with wisps of yellow to mimic the reflection of light. Use horizontal strokes to convey calmness.

Foreground and Rocks

  1. Switch to a medium round brush for the rocky shoreline. Use darker shades with sharp, angular strokes for emphasis.
  2. Add highlights with gray and light blue to suggest texture and depth on the rocks.

Refinements and Details

  1. With a fine detail brush, add thin lines and details where needed, such as the edges of clouds or ripples in the water.
  2. Check your work against the source painting for any final adjustments to colors and details.

Finishing Touches

  1. Step back and evaluate your painting's balance. Make any final refinements to ensure harmony.
  2. Allow your painting to dry completely before handling or framing.

By following these steps, you will have recreated the enchanting landscape of Lochinver Bay, capturing its vibrant colors and dramatic scenery on canvas. Enjoy the process and let your creativity flow!
