Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This vibrant painting of the Isle of Ulva beautifully captures the serene landscape of this enchanting Scottish island. The foreground is a dynamic mix of bold, abstract brushstrokes in lush greens and earthy tones, symbolizing the verdant hills and rocky outcrops. The middle ground introduces the calm, reflective blues of the water that surrounds the island, blending seamlessly into the sky's soft blues and whites, harmonizing with the distant hills in muted purples and greens. The painting employs a modern, bold style with a vivid color palette and fluid brushwork, conveying both tranquility and energy inherent in nature.

Using Line Drawings and Grid

Painting Instructions

  1. Preparation
    • Set up your workspace with your canvas, brushes, and paints.
    • Review the color wheel to familiarize yourself with the palette.
    • Lightly sketch the line drawing onto your canvas using the provided grid for accuracy.
  2. Background Layer: Sky and Sea
    • Mix a soft blue using titanium white and primary blue to create a gentle sky backdrop. Apply with broad strokes using a flat brush.
    • Blend in white towards the clouds for depth, using a dry brush technique to soften edges.
    • For the sea, combine cerulean blue with hints of turquoise. Apply with horizontal strokes, ensuring seamless blending into the horizon.
  3. Middle Ground: Distant Hills
    • Create a muted purple using ultramarine blue and alizarin crimson, adding white to lighten. Use this for the distant hills, favoring a round brush for softer edges.
    • Blend in spots of green mixed with yellow ochre for patches of grassy areas, using a stippling technique for texture.
  4. Foreground: Grassy Hills and Rocks
    • Mix greens using sap green and yellow for the vibrant grassy areas. Apply with bold, dynamic strokes to capture movement.
    • For rocks, mix burnt sienna with umber and apply using a palette knife to create a textured appearance.
    • Introduce accents of orange and ochre for warmth, applying with a small round brush for detail.
  5. Final Touches
    • Evaluate for balance and unity. Adjust colors and tones to enhance depth and vibrancy, using highlights and shadows strategically.
    • Let the painting dry completely. Use a varnish if desired for a glossy finish.
