Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Ben More captures the rugged majesty of the Scottish Highlands, showcasing the mountain's dramatic peaks with bold, textured brushstrokes. This artwork uses a muted palette of deep blacks, grays, and soft whites to convey the powerful presence of the mountain against a subtly illuminated sky. The use of palette knife creates thick layers of paint, adding depth and dimensionality to the landscape, reflecting the mountain's imposing structure and the natural beauty of its surroundings.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints (as per your preference)
  • Palette knife
  • Painters’ canvas or canvas board
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • Printed line drawing and sketch from your Paint-Your-Own Pack
  • Artists grid (if needed for accuracy)
  • Colour wheel included in the pack

Preparing Your Canvas

  1. Using the line drawing from your pack, lightly sketch the main outlines of Ben More onto your canvas. You may opt to use the artists grid for precision. This can help keep proportions accurate.
  2. Ensure your canvas is primed and ready for painting. A white or light gray base coat can help the colors stand out more effectively.

Creating the Sky

  1. Mix a soft, creamy white with a hint of gray. Use a broad brush to apply these colors to the top section of your canvas for the sky.
  2. Create subtle textural variations using a palette knife, allowing for some lighter and darker patches to add depth.

Painting the Mountain

  1. Begin with the darkest sections of the mountain. Mix a deep black with gray to create shadows and outlines of the mountain’s ridges using the palette knife. Refer to the printed image for shadow placement.
  2. Gradually build up layers of lighter gray, using a combination of palette knife and broad brushstrokes. This creates the illusion of texture and ruggedness.
  3. Add highlights with lighter shades of gray and white, emphasizing the areas where light catches the slopes of Ben More.

Foreground Details

  1. Mix a warmer beige and apply it to the lower part of the canvas to represent the foreground terrain. Use thick, horizontal strokes to build texture.
  2. Add darker tones beneath to suggest shadows, enhancing the depth and contrast in the foreground area.

Final Touches

  1. Review the painting for balance and detail. Adjust light and shadow where necessary to maintain realism and depth.
  2. Let your painting dry thoroughly if using oil paints, as the thick layers will take longer to set.

This step-by-step guide will assist you in recreating the dramatic depiction of Ben More. Use your creativity and intuition to capture the essence of the scene. Enjoy the process of expressing the beauty of this majestic landscape!
