Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Càrn Mairg captures the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands, featuring a harmonious blend of earthy tones that evoke a sense of solitude and majesty. The dramatic sky, painted in shades of gray and white, looms over a contrasting landscape with rich browns, ochres, and deep reds. The focal point, a quaint white house, is nestled against the expansive terrain, conveying both isolation and warmth. This expressive style is achieved through bold brushwork and a textured approach that adds depth and movement to the scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail
  • Pallet knife (optional for texture)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Source painting image and line drawings from the PDF pack
  • Artists grid (optional)
  • Colour wheel from the PDF pack

1. Preparing Your Canvas

Set up: Begin by arranging your workspace with all necessary materials within reach. Attach the line drawing or sketch from the PDF pack onto your canvas. If using the grid version, align it accurately on your canvas to help outline key elements.

2. Sketching the Composition

Use a light pencil to softly transfer the main outlines from the line drawing onto your canvas. Focus on main components like the mountain, house, and fields. The grid can guide you in positioning these elements accurately.

3. Painting the Sky

  1. Base Layer: Mix whites and grays to create a soft gradient for the sky. Use broad strokes to capture the swift-moving clouds.
  2. Building Texture: Add depth by dabbing lighter grays and whites on top of the base layer with a flat brush or palette knife.

4. Defining the Mountain

  1. Mix deep browns and earth tones, using the color wheel for reference.
  2. Apply with a palette knife or flat brush, creating bold, jagged strokes to mimic the rock faces.
  3. Blend darker shades into the base of the mountain to enhance dimension.

5. Painting the House

  1. Use a pure white for the house with accents of soft gray to capture light and shadow.
  2. Add fine details such as windows and rooflines with a small detail brush.

6. Creating the Foreground

  1. Start with a base layer of ochre and mid-browns, using the color wheel to achieve harmony with the rest of the palette.
  2. Introduce bold strokes of red and dark brown, layering to create a textured, rugged look typical of Highland terrain.

7. Adding Final Details

  • Revisit the entire painting, enhancing shadows and highlights as needed to unify your piece.
  • Use a fine brush for any additional details needed on the house or landscape features.

8. Finishing Touches

Allow the painting to dry completely. Once dry, step back and review your work, making any final adjustments to ensure balance and depth.

Embrace the natural imperfections that arise throughout this textural, expressive process, as they contribute to the authenticity and emotion captured in this depiction of Càrn Mairg.
