Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack will assist with accurately placing the main elements of the painting. Use these tools to lightly sketch the main outlines onto your canvas with a pencil.

Sketching the Composition
- Begin by using the light grid lines to map out the basic shapes of the buildings and boat. Focus on positioning without worrying about details.
- Refer to the line drawing to add the outlines of the main buildings and the boat mast, ensuring elements line up correctly.
Background
- Use a flat brush to apply a thin wash of Ultramarine Blue and Cerulean Blue over the sky and water areas, mixing with Titanium White to create lighter tones.
- Add soft touches of Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Orange in the sky for the colorful effect of dawn or dusk.
Building Details
- Paint the buildings using a mix of white with subtle hints of other colors such as yellow and light blue for shadows and reflected light.
- Highlight building edges and roofs with darker shades to give depth. Use a detail brush for finer lines.
Water and Reflection
- Apply deeper blue tones in the water area, enhancing the reflection effect by adding horizontal strokes of white and lighter blues.
- Add reflections of the buildings and boat using slightly darker shades than the actual objects.
Boat
- Paint the boat using Cadmium Orange for the hull, blending with Burnt Sienna to add shadow and dimension.
- Use finer brushes to capture the details of the mast and rigging, making sure they are dark and crisp.
Final Touches
- Review the painting to add any final highlights or shadows, enhancing contrast where needed.
- Ensure all lines and shapes have a cohesive flow to maintain the abstract style.

Take your time and enjoy the process, using the colors and techniques to express your own interpretation of the stunning Portree Harbour.
