Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This serene painting of Portree Harbour in Scotland captures the essence of coastal charm with a minimalist style. The artwork features a row of pastel-colored houses aligned along the waterfront, their soft reflections gently rippling in the calm water below. The muted palette of whites, greys, soft pinks, and blues evokes a tranquil, dreamlike atmosphere reminiscent of early morning mist. The painting’s simplistic yet effective use of geometric shapes and subtle textures highlights the quiet beauty of the harbor scene, making it a captivating and contemplative piece.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Acrylic paints: White, Black, Grey, Pink, Blue
Brushes: Flat, Round, and Detail
Palette
Cup of water
Paper towels

Getting Started

Make sure your workspace is clean and well-lit. Set out your paints, brushes, and a cup of water for rinsing brushes.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The included line drawing and optional grid version are excellent tools to ensure composition accuracy. Choose either the line drawing for a direct approach or the grid version to map out proportions and placements.

Preparation: Lightly sketch the main outlines of the houses and the boat on your canvas using the line drawing as a reference. If using the grid method, lightly draw the grid on both the canvas and your reference image.
Sky and Water Base: Begin by painting the sky with a mix of white and a hint of grey to create a misty effect. Extend this mix downward to create the base for the water, adding slight variations with touches of blue.
Paint the Houses:
- Start from left to right. Use white and grey for the houses on the left, gradually introducing pink and soft blue into the mix as you progress to the right.
- Apply paint in smooth, even layers to achieve the minimalist look.
Add Windows and Doors: Use a small detail brush for the windows and doors. Mix black with a touch of grey for depth. Paint them using precise, steady strokes.
Reflections in Water:
- Mirroring the colors of the houses, lightly drag your brush vertically down the canvas, maintaining straight lines to mimic reflections. Create a subtle blur by gently blending with a damp brush.
Final Touches:
- With a small brush, add fine details such as slight variations in roof colors or faint lines to suggest texture and depth.
- Add hints of blue and pink to further enhance the water’s reflection.
Review and Adjust: Step back and examine your work. Adjust any areas that need more definition or softening.

Congratulations! You have successfully recreated the peaceful charm of Portree Harbour, encapsulating its soft colors and serene reflections.
