Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures the serene and expansive landscapes of Orkney, Scotland. The scene vividly portrays rolling green pastures and vibrant sections of earth juxtaposed with a distant blue sea under a wide, open sky. The simplistic architectural structure in the middle ground adds a human element to the natural setting. The color palette is rich yet tranquil, featuring cool blues and greens complemented by warm earth tones with a hint of orange, capturing the essence of Orkney’s countryside. The painting’s style is modern with broad, expressive brush strokes, creating an impressionistic and dynamic portrayal of the landscape.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings included in your PDF pack are designed to help you map out the essential elements of the painting. Use the optional artist's grid to ensure composition accuracy:

Print out the grid version and the line drawing.
Transpose the grid onto your canvas lightly with a pencil if desired.
Use the grid to place key elements, such as the horizon line, architectural structure, and main landforms, accurately.

Painting Steps

Background and Sky:
1. Begin by painting the sky. Use large, sweeping strokes with a wide brush to capture the dynamic feel of the clouds and open sky. Use various shades of blue and white to create depth and movement.
2. Allow the colors to blend naturally for a soft, atmospheric effect.
The Sea:
1. Paint the sea using a mix of blues. Apply horizontal brush strokes to convey a sense of distance and calmness.
2. Add subtle variations to the water using the color wheel for guidance.
Landforms:
1. Define the foreground land using various greens from your palette. Mix in some yellow for areas that catch more light.
2. Use broad, gestural strokes to illustrate the texture and movement of grassy fields.
3. Add the warmer earthy tones to the middleground by incorporating browns and oranges, which contrast and complement the greens.
Architectural Structure:
1. Paint the structure using cool whites and light blues. Focus on simple shapes to maintain the modern style of the composition.
2. Utilize small brushes for precision in depicting the building and its finer details.
Final Adjustments:
- Revisit each section, making sure the colors blend harmoniously.
- Enhance shadows and highlights to give depth, referring to the color palette for accuracy in tone.
- Step back and review your work frequently to ensure balance in composition and color distribution.

By following these steps closely and utilizing the provided materials, you’ll achieve a faithful and satisfying recreation of the picturesque Orkney landscape.
