Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Transport yourself to the serene and picturesque Portree Harbour in Scotland, captured in a striking, cubist-inspired painting. This artwork features an array of vibrant colors and geometrical shapes, showcasing the charming boats gently resting on the water, surrounded by quaint, colorful houses and towering hills. The color palette includes soothing blues, lively yellows, and muted oranges, creating a harmonious balance between nature and built structures. The reflection on the water adds a mesmerizing dynamic, inviting viewers into this tranquil scene. Now, let's embark on recreating this masterpiece with precision and creativity.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Canvas (size recommended in your pack)
Acrylic paints in colors from the provided palette
Brushes of various sizes
Palette for mixing colors
Cup of water and paper towels for cleaning brushes
Your Paint-Your-Own Pack including the line drawings and grid

Step 2: Prepare Your Canvas

Place your line drawing on the canvas using the provided grid to guide you. Make sure the drawing is centered and aligned.
Lightly sketch the main outlines on your canvas with pencil.

Step 3: Begin with the Background

Sky: Mix blues and whites to create a series of geometric shapes in the sky, using broad brush strokes for the sky above the mountains.
Mountains: Use a mix of blues and greens with some touches of yellow. Layer slightly darker shades for a sense of depth.

Step 4: Paint the Buildings

Left Side: Start with the buildings on the left, using whites, blues, and the contrasting orange for the central building.
Right Side: Use a mix of blue, white, and yellow. Be mindful of the light and dark contrasts to emphasize the cubist style.
For windows and doors, use darker shades to add depth.

Step 5: Focus on the Boats

Apply shades of blue and red for the larger boat on the left, ensuring to capture its reflection on the water.
For the smaller boat on the right, use white, blue, and reds. Again, focus on capturing reflection and light.

Step 6: Add Reflections

Reflective water requires a mix of greens, blues, and hints of white. Use horizontal brush strokes to mimic the water's ripple effect.
Ensure the boats and buildings reflect correctly, maintaining the cubist style's fragmented and angular look.

Step 7: Final Touches

Revisit any areas needing more contrast or correction.
Add finer details with thin brushes for crisp lines or highlights to give the painting a polished look.

Step 8: Review Your Painting

Stand back and look at your painting from a distance to ensure the composition and colors are harmonious. Adjust as needed, then let your painting dry completely.

Congratulations! You have now recreated the beautiful Portree Harbour scene.
