Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine the tranquil charm of Portree Harbour, captured in a stunning cubist style. The painting presents a blend of geometric shapes and bold lines, highlighting the bustling yet serene vibe of this scenic Scottish setting. The composition features a boat with elegant sails, a cluster of characteristic white buildings, and rugged hills in the background. The palette is a harmonious mixture of soft whites, grays, and blues, contrasted by dynamic splashes of red and orange, giving the scene both realism and abstraction.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper (as provided)
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brush set (varying sizes)
  • Palette
  • Water cup (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)
  • Cloth or paper towels
  • Pencil
  • The provided Paint-Your-Own Pack

1. Preparing Your Workspace

  1. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and spacious.
  2. Lay out your materials and make sure your reference images from the Paint-Your-Own Pack are easily visible.

2. Sketching the Outline

  1. Use the Line Drawing Provided: Start by lightly sketching the major shapes and lines on your canvas. Focus on capturing the geometric style.
  2. Utilize the Artist’s Grid: Position the grid overlay to help maintain accurate proportions and alignments.

3. Blocking in Base Colors

  1. Mix and prepare the main colors on your palette using the provided color wheel as a guide.
  2. Start by filling in the large areas: the white buildings, gray hills, and blue sky. Use broad brush strokes.
  3. Paint the sea using dynamic wavy strokes for realism.

4. Adding Details

  1. Switch to a smaller brush for details. Paint the boat’s sail and hull, being careful with the lines and shapes.
  2. Add the red and orange rooftops for contrast. Use clear, bold strokes to enhance the cubist effect.
  3. Fill in window details and shadows on buildings using darker shades from your palette.

5. Refining and Final Touches

  1. Check your painting against the reference image. Adjust colors and shapes for cohesion and accuracy.
  2. Enhance any shadows or highlights that need more depth.
  3. Step back and view your painting as a whole. Add any final details needed for balance and satisfaction.

Tips for Success

  • Patience is key: Allow layers to dry before adding details.
  • Use the color wheel to maintain harmony and balance in your color palette.
  • Don’t be afraid to make bold strokes! The cubist style thrives on strong lines and shapes.

With these steps, immerse yourself in the peaceful essence of Portree Harbour while practicing the dynamic techniques of cubism. Enjoy your artistic journey!
