The scene is dominated by a striking tree, standing tall against the dramatic backdrop of distant mountains and an expansive sky.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

  • Brushes: flat, round, and fine detail
  • Palette
  • Water or solvent for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid in your Paint-Your-Own Pack are designed to help you accurately place the main elements of the painting. Use them to sketch the basic composition lightly onto your canvas.

  1. Initial Sketch: Use the provided line drawing to outline the major elements: the tree, mountains, and shoreline. If using the grid version, transfer each section carefully to maintain proportions.
  2. Underpainting: Apply a thin wash of a neutral color (such as a diluted brown) to establish shadows and depth. This layer sets the tone for the painting.
  3. Sky and Distant Mountains: Start with the sky, using a mix of light blue and white, smoothly blended to create a soft backdrop. Add clouds with white, gently blending the edges. Use purple and muted lavender tones to paint the distant mountains, capturing their hazy silhouette.
  4. Water Reflection: Use horizontal strokes to paint the water, reflecting the colors of the sky and mountains. Incorporate blue and purple tones, using smooth transitions to mimic reflections.
  5. Foreground and Shoreline: Apply rich oranges and warm browns for the foreground grasses and shoreline, adding depth with darker greens and black for shadows. Use a dry brush technique for texture.
  6. Tree Details: Paint the tree trunk and branches with a deep brown. Highlight with touches of orange and white for a sunlit effect. Use a finer brush for detailed branches.
  7. Final Details: Add highlights and finishing touches to create contrast and depth, using your palette to slightly modify hues for harmony. Carefully highlight the tree and rocks to capture light and shadow.

Color Palette and Blending

Refer to your color wheel to select and blend colors effectively. This will help maintain the vibrant yet balanced look of the painting. Experiment with mixing to achieve the desired hues.

Finishing Touches

  • Revisit different areas for consistency and refinement.
  • Ensure edges of elements are soft but defined where necessary, particularly around the tree and mountains.
  • Stand back periodically to assess your work from a distance.

This guided process will help you recreate the enchanting scene of Loch Maree, capturing its reflective beauty and dynamic contrasts. Enjoy the creative journey!
