Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The River Isla painting captures the serene and expansive beauty of the Scottish landscape in a modern, abstract style. The gentle curves of the river meander through a calm, geometric simplicity, leading the eyes through soft hues of blues and greens. The landscape's structured fields and distant hills are rendered with a harmonious blend of light and shadow, while the sky offers a subtle, ethereal backdrop. The palette is dominated by cool tones, with splashes of warm olive greens and soft yellows, creating a tranquil yet dynamic composition.

Acrylic paints in the color palette provided

Preparation

Review Provided Materials: Examine the line drawings or grid in your pack to become familiar with the composition.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The line drawing and/or grid is your blueprint for accurate composition. Use them to transfer the main outlines and structural divisions onto your canvas. If using the grid method, mark corresponding grid lines on your canvas lightly with a pencil.

Painting Steps

1. Background and Sky

Mix a light cream shade for the sky. Use broad strokes with a flat brush to cover the top portion of the canvas.
Blend slightly with a touch of pale blue towards the horizon for subtle depth.

2. River

Paint the river using a mixture of light blues, keeping the center slightly lighter to suggest reflection and flow.
Use long, smooth strokes to enhance the river’s gentle curves.

3. Far Hills and Tree Line

Mix deeper greens and blues to define the distant hills and tree line. Apply these colors in blocky, horizontal strokes.
Add some olive tones for variation and subtle detailing of the treetops.

4. Fields

Use a combination of lemon yellow, olive green, and pale blue to paint the fields on either side of the river.
Apply colors in horizontal bands, allowing some blending to mimic the undulating landscape.

5. Foreground and Details

Use darker shades of blue and green for the foreground, applying the paint in structured, rectangular blocks.
Add fine details to the riverbank using a smaller, detail brush.

6. Final Touches

Review the painting to ensure all areas are covered and the composition feels balanced.
Add any final highlights or shadows to enhance depth and visual interest.

Completion

Stand back and admire your artwork. The final piece should beautifully capture the abstract yet tranquil essence of the River Isla landscape. Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying it.
