Preparatory Steps

Study the Source Image: Carefully examine the provided painting image in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Pay attention to color relationships and lighting.

Painting Steps

Background & Sky:
- Start with the sky, using soft blues and purples. Blend with a flat brush for a smooth transition.
- Add the distant hills with muted purples and blues, creating depth and distance.
Harbor and Houses:
- Begin with the bold, vibrant colors of the houses. Use a mixture of yellows, blues, and pinks.
- Apply paint thickly for texture, particularly in the shadowed areas between the houses.
Boats:
- Focus on the boats using bright whites and reds to make them stand out.
- Add reflections on the water with softer, blended brushstrokes of the boat colors.
Water Reflection:
- Create the reflective effect by blending the colors of the boats and houses into the water beneath them.
- Use horizontal strokes to indicate the movement of water.
Details and Texture:
- Add fine details with a small brush, like the windows of the houses and details on the boats.
- Use a palette knife for added texture on the boats and near the dock, if desired.
