Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid included in your pack are invaluable tools for composition accuracy. Begin by transferring the line drawings onto your canvas. If using the grid method, draw a faint grid on your canvas to match the provided sketch. This assists in aligning the key elements accurately.

Painting Steps

  1. Outline the Composition
    • Start with the included line drawing. Use a soft pencil to lightly sketch the main shapes and lines on your canvas.
    • Ensure the placement of boats, buildings, and the horizon are carefully mapped out using your grid for accuracy.
  2. Block in the Sky and Water
    • Mix a soft grey-blue for the sky, using your palette knife to blend white, blue, and a hint of black.
    • Apply the paint using broad, horizontal strokes for the sky, transitioning to deeper blue tones for the water below.
  3. Define Buildings and Boats
    • Use a mix of white and grey for the buildings, adding hints of yellow and orange for sunlit areas.
    • Paint the boats using a combination of black, yellow, and white, to capture their distinct forms.
  4. Add Details and Reflections
    • With a smaller brush, add detail lines and shadows to define edges and add dimension.
    • Use a palette knife to add texture and emphasize the reflections in the water.
  5. Final Touches
    • Introduce contrasting colors, like vibrant orange, to bring out the dynamic elements of the scene.
    • Adjust shadows and highlights to ensure depth and cohesion throughout the painting.

By following these structured steps and utilizing the assets in your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you will successfully recreate the dynamic and captivating essence of Whitehills Harbour.
