Using the Line Drawing/Artist’s Grid

The line drawing and optional artist’s grid are designed to aid your composition. Use these tools to accurately transfer the basic shapes and structure of the painting onto your canvas. This will be your guide throughout the painting process, ensuring proportions and perspective are maintained.

Painting Process

1. Background and Sky

Mix a soft blue: Using your palette, combine blues and whites to create a soft sky blue. Use broad strokes to fill in the upper part of the canvas.
Work on the gradients: Add white to lighten the horizon, creating a gradient effect that suggests distance.

2. Mountains

Begin with the blue mountains: Use a deeper blue, mixed with touches of green, to apply the mountains. Focus on broad strokes for the underlayer.
Define edges: Use a smaller brush to add definition and depth to the mountain ridges.

3. Fields and River

Base layer of the fields: Mix green with a hint of yellow for the foreground fields. Apply with sweeping, dynamic strokes.
Add dimension: Deepen greens with touches of blue for shadowed areas, while brightening with yellow for highlighted sections.
Painting the river: Use cool whites and blues for the river. Apply fluid, winding strokes to depict the river's gentle curves.

4. Details and Refinements

Refine the riverbanks: Use darker greens and blues to define the edges where the river meets the land.
Highlight with yellow: Add dashes of yellow along the riverbanks to suggest sunlight hitting the grass.
Final touches: Mix lighter blues to highlight areas of the water, creating reflections and shimmer.

Final Steps

Review your work, comparing it to the source painting. Make any necessary adjustments for balance and cohesion. Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying your artwork. Enjoy the satisfaction of recreating the enchanting River Orchy landscape!
