  • Acrylic paints: White, Teal, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green
  • Brushes: Flat brush, fine detail brush
  • Palette for mixing
  • Water container and cloth for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and grid are designed to help you accurately sketch the geometric layout of the painting. Start by placing the grid version over your canvas. Lightly sketch the main shapes onto your canvas using the line drawings as a guide.

Painting Instructions

  1. Background Preparation:
    • Ensure your canvas is primed and ready for acrylic paint.
  2. Sketching the Composition:
    • Using the grid as guidance, lightly sketch the rectangles and squares onto the canvas.
    • Focus on maintaining straight lines and proportionate shapes.
  3. Painting the Upper Section:
    • Mix and apply a bright white to the uppermost rectangle.
    • Use a flat brush for even, smooth strokes. Allow to dry.
  4. Painting the Right Upper Rectangle:
    • Mix a medium teal and paint the rectangle to the right of the white section.
    • Maintain clean edges by using the fine detail brush along borders.
  5. Painting the Lower Sections:
    • In the bottom left, use a darker teal mixture for the large rectangle.
    • Apply a light, soft blue to the adjacent horizontal rectangle.
    • Mix a deep green for the left-central section, applying it smoothly.
  6. Completing the Bottom Right Rectangle:
    • Use the darkest blue for this section. Apply evenly, ensuring no brushstrokes show.
  7. Final Touches:
    • Check the edges of each geometric shape and refine with a detail brush if needed.
    • Ensure each hue matches the color wheel provided, adjusting if necessary for a cohesive look.
  8. Drying and Finishing:
    • Allow the painting to dry completely, then examine for any touch-ups.
    • Consider a protective varnish if desired.

By following these steps alongside your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you'll recreate the serene beauty of Shetland through its geometric representation. Enjoy the process, and let each brush stroke bring you closer to capturing its tranquil essence.
