Preparation

  1. Setting Up: Ensure you have all materials ready and a well-lit space to work in. Lay out your paints, brushes, and canvas.
  2. Understanding the Composition: Use the included line drawing or artist grid to familiarize yourself with the composition. The grid can be a helpful guide to achieve accurate proportions and placement.

Painting Process

  1. Background and Sky:
    1. Mix Ultramarine Blue and Titanium White to create a soft blue for the sky.
    2. Apply it with a flat brush using broad horizontal strokes, starting from the top of the canvas and fading downward.
    3. Add depth with subtle touches of Phthalo Blue near the horizon.
  2. Mountains and Hills:
    1. Create a darker mix of Ultramarine Blue with a touch of Black.
    2. Use the line drawing as a guide to outline and fill in the distant mountains. Employ a round brush for the outline and a flat brush for filling in.
  3. Water Reflection:
    1. Reflect the sky’s colors in the water using horizontal strokes with a flat brush, alternating between blues.
    2. Introduce white streaks for the moonlight reflection, ensuring smooth transitions.
  4. Boats and Harbour Details:
    1. Mix Cadmium Red, Burnt Sienna, and Black for the boats.
    2. Using the line drawing, add the boat shapes on the right side with a flat brush for large areas and a detail brush for edges and lines.
    3. Paint the masts and rigging using a fine detail brush and Black.
  5. Final Touches:
    1. Enhance the contrast by adding highlights using white and deepen shadows with a mix of Burnt Sienna and Black.
    2. Adjust the intensity of colors to recreate the vibrancy seen in the original painting.
