Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Brushes (varying sizes)
  • Acrylic paints (as per the color wheel)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Easel for support (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Setting Up Your Workspace

Arrange your materials in an accessible manner. Ensure you have adequate lighting to observe the colors you mix accurately. If using an easel, set it at a comfortable height.

Step 2: Preparing the Base

Apply a light wash of your base color (a mix of white and a hint of yellow) across the entire canvas. This will provide a uniform undertone that complements the painting’s warm palette.

Step 3: Using Line Drawings and Grid

Use the line drawing provided in the Paint-Your-Own Pack to sketch the basic shapes of the boats and harbour structures. If you have the grid version, align it with your canvas to ensure accurate placement and proportion.

Step 4: Painting the Sky

  1. Mix a gradient of colors from your palette, starting with deep orange at the top, blending into pink towards the horizon.
  2. Use horizontal brush strokes to render the sky smoothly.
  3. Add the setting sun using a bright yellow. Ensure to create soft, radiating lines for sun rays.

Step 5: Capturing the Water Reflections

  1. Mix blues with hints of purple. Paint the water using sweeping, horizontal strokes, reflecting the colors of the sky.
  2. Introduce darker tones under the boats to suggest depth and shadow.
  3. Blend lighter pinks and reds closer to the foreground where the light hits the water directly.

Step 6: Detailing the Boats

  • Paint the nearest boat first, using a rich red for the body and a blue for the detailing.
  • Apply darker shades for the boat's shadow and lighter hues for the highlights where sunlight falls.
  • Repeat similar steps for the remaining boats, ensuring that each has a distinct yet cohesive appearance.

Step 7: Final Touches and Adjustments

Review your painting from a distance to evaluate the balance and cohesion. Add any necessary highlights using a fine brush to emphasize outlines or sunlit areas. Smooth any transitions with gentle blending to ensure the painting feels harmonious.

Step 8: Sign and Display

Once satisfied, sign your painting in a discreet yet visible spot. Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying it proudly.

Enjoy the serenity of Pennan Harbour, brought to life through your own hands.
