Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures the serene and dynamic landscape of Orkney, Scotland. It features a dramatic sky filled with various hues of grey, creating a sense of movement and depth. Below, the rolling green fields subtly blend with the dark, rocky foreground, contrasting against soft blue waters in the distance. This landscape is painted in an impressionistic style, emphasizing texture and broad brushstrokes, immersing the viewer in the ethereal beauty and atmospheric moodiness of Orkney. The color palette includes rich greens, a spectrum of greys, along with deep blacks that anchor the foreground, pairing perfectly with the cooler blues and whites of the sky.

Using Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid in your Paint-Your-Own Pack will guide the composition and proportions of the painting. They allow you to map out the main sections of the landscape accurately. Begin by lightly sketching the primary lines onto your canvas using the grid to maintain proportion.

Painting the Sky

Create the base: Mix various grey tones to capture the stormy sky. Apply with broad, horizontal strokes using a flat brush.
Add depth: Layer darker greys to suggest clouds, working quickly while the paint is wet to blend seamlessly.
Highlight the drama: Use whites sparingly to accent cloud edges and add dynamic movement.

Painting the Midground and Water

Define the horizon: Use a mix of blues and greys to create the distant waters.
Blend gently: Allow the water to softly meet the horizon line, using a slightly lighter blue towards the center for depth.
Layer greens: Paint the fields with varying greens. Mix in touches of yellow for highlights capturing sunlight.

Painting the Foreground

Establish the base: Use dark greens and blacks for the rocky structures. Apply with a palette knife or thick brush for texture.
Details and Texture: Highlight certain areas with lighter greens and greys to give shape and volume.

Finishing Touches

Review contrasts: Ensure that there is a significant contrast between sky, midground, and foreground.
Refine details: Use a smaller brush for any necessary touch-ups or details, especially in the rocky areas.
Step back and observe: View your painting from a distance to assess balance and composition.
