Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid will help you maintain the accuracy of composition. Use the grid to map out sections on your canvas, ensuring the dimensions and proportions reflect those of the original artwork. This will guide your color blocking and layout.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace
    • Set up your canvas on an easel or flat surface.
    • Ensure you have good lighting and all materials within reach.
  2. Sketch the Outline
    • Use a light pencil to recreate the basic outline on your canvas, utilizing the provided line drawings.
    • If using a grid, lightly draw grid lines on your canvas to maintain proportion and alignment.
  3. Mix Your Colors
    • Refer to the color wheel to match the painting's palette. Prepare the most frequently used colors first.
    • Mix varying shades of blues and greens, ensuring a smooth transition between tones.
  4. Paint the Sky and Mountains
    • Begin with the sky's lightest hues at the top of your canvas, using larger brushes for even coverage.
    • Layer darker shades to create the mountain's silhouette, ensuring straight, clean lines.
  5. Paint the Water
    • Use horizontal brush strokes to mimic the water’s flow, starting from the horizon line.
    • Blend different shades of blues and greens, following the geometric divisions for accuracy.
  6. Define Color Blocks
    • Switch to smaller brushes for precision around the color block edges.
    • Fill in each section, adapting to the transitions indicated in the source image.
  7. Final Touches
