Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Ben More captures the rugged majesty of this iconic Scottish landscape. With bold strokes and a dynamic color palette, it showcases the mountain’s dramatic contours against a moody sky. The foreground is a tapestry of earthy tones, with warm oranges and yellows complimenting the cool grays and blues of the mountain. The sweeping brushmanship adds a sense of movement, evoking the everchanging atmosphere of the highlands. The artistic style blends realism with impressionistic elements, allowing viewers to feel immersed in the scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper suitable for your chosen paints
  • Paints: Focus on the provided color palette
  • Brushes: Variety of sizes including broad, medium, and fine tips
  • Palette or mixing tray
  • Water jar (for water-based paints) or brush cleaner (for oil paints)
  • Easel or flat work surface
  • Optional: Painters tape (for clean edges)

Preparation

Before starting, review the line drawings and use the artist grid for precise composition placement. Ensure your canvas is primed and ready for painting.

1. Sketching the Composition

  1. Start with the Grid: Use the grid to replicate the proportions of the painting accurately on your canvas. This will help maintain the correct perspective.
  2. Outline Key Elements: Lightly sketch the primary lines of the mountain, sky, and foreground landforms using the line drawings as a guide.

2. Painting the Sky

  1. Mix the Base Colors: Combine grays and blues from your palette. Adjust hues to capture the overcast, dramatic sky depicted in the painting.
  2. Apply with Broad Strokes: Use a medium to large brush to swiftly cover the sky area, capturing the movement in the clouds with loose, dynamic strokes.

3. Defining the Mountain

  1. Layer the Mountain: Mix deeper blue and gray tones for the mountain’s main body. Apply these with slightly angular strokes to reflect the mountain's contours.
  2. Highlight Details: Use lighter shades sparingly to highlight ridges and the play of light on the mountain’s surface.

4. Crafting the Foreground

  1. Establish the Landscape: Blend earthy tones with vibrant oranges and yellows for the land in front of the mountain. This contrasts and enhances the overall composition.
  2. Add Texture and Depth: Use a combination of brush sizes to introduce texture, simulating the rugged, rocky terrain. Focus on varying the pressure and brush angle for authenticity.

5. Finishing Touches

  1. Refine Detail: With a small brush, add finer details where necessary – particularly around edges of rocks and water reflections.
  2. Balancing the Composition: Step back occasionally to ensure harmony in color distribution and to refine any areas that need adjustment.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings provide crucial boundary guides for each section of the painting, while the grid ensures proportionally accurate placement of elements. Use them in tandem throughout the process to maintain a structured approach and prevent errors in scale or perspective.

Final Steps

  • Allow time for your painting to dry thoroughly.
  • Review the painting for any areas that require additional touch-ups.
  • Once satisfied, consider applying a protective varnish if using materials suitable for such.

Enjoy your completed painting of Ben More, and the process that brought it to life!
