Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the vivid and striking depiction of St Monans Harbour. This painting captures the essence of a serene coastal village bathed in warm, glowing hues of red, orange, and yellow. The geometric precision of the buildings stands out against the playful dance of reflective waters, creating a harmonious yet dynamic balance. The style is bold and modern, echoing a stained glass window effect with defined outlines and vibrant colors that blend seamlessly yet stand distinctly apart.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic paints (as per the color wheel provided)
  • Canvas or paper
  • Brush set (variety of sizes)
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water for cleaning brushes

Using the Pack

The Paint-Your-Own Pack includes line drawings and a grid to ensure accuracy. Use the grid to help with composition and proportion. The color wheel will guide your palette choices.

Painting Steps

  1. Preparation: Set up your workspace, ensuring you have good lighting. Use the artist grid to familiarize yourself with the composition.
  2. Outline the Composition:
    • Transfer the line drawing onto the canvas using light pencil marks or chalk, following the grid for accuracy.
    • Ensure the key elements like the harbor, buildings, and boats are in the correct proportions.
  3. Background Wash:
    • Mix a light yellow-orange and apply a thin wash over the sky area for warmth.
    • Allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
  4. Buildings and Details:
    • Using the color wheel, mix deep reds and oranges for the building facades.
    • Apply the colors carefully, using bold, straight strokes to emphasize the geometric shapes.
    • Shade with deeper reds and add lighter highlights as necessary.
  5. Reflection in Water:
    • Mix similar hues to those used in the buildings but slightly diluted for the reflections.
    • Use horizontal brush strokes to mimic the water’s ripple effect.
    • Blend different shades to create a softened reflection that still captures the vivid colors above.
  6. Boats:
    • Use a mix of dark and light reds for the boats, ensuring they stand out against the water.
    • Add details like masts and rigging with a fine brush.
  7. Final Touches:
    • Outline key areas with black or dark brown to mimic the stained glass effect.
    • Add highlights with white or light yellow where necessary to enhance depth and light.
    • Step back and assess your work. Make adjustments to balance colors and shadows as needed.
