Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Picture yourself gazing at the enchanting Stonehaven Harbour in Scotland as the sun sinks low in the sky, casting dramatic hues of orange and red across the landscape. This vibrant painting captures the essence of a serene sunset over the calm waters, reflecting the fiery glow of the sky. The charming row of houses, nestled along the coastline, displays a rich palette of pastel blues, pinks, and creams. The harbour, dotted with sailboats, adds a serene and nostalgic touch, framed by the gentle silhouette of the distant hills. The blend of warm and cool tones, along with the soft and bold brushstrokes, lends a harmonious and lively feel to this beautiful seascape.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

  • Gather your Paint-Your-Own Pack materials: source painting image, line drawings, sketches, and the artist’s grid.
  • Set up your canvas and paints. Refer to the included colour wheel to familiarize yourself with the palette.
  • Make sure your brushes are clean and your workspace is well-lit.

Step 2: Sketch the Composition

  • Use the grid version to accurately sketch the basic outlines of the harbor, houses, and boats. The grid helps in maintaining the right proportions by breaking down the painting into smaller segments.
  • Lightly outline the large shapes like the sun, water reflections, and the coastline.

Step 3: Apply Background Colours

  • Start with the sky. Use warm gradients of orange and red, capturing the sunset’s intensity.
  • Paint the sun as a bright circle, using white and yellow, blending it smoothly into the surrounding skies.
  • In the distance, add cool blues to the water, blending into the orange reflections for a realistic look.

Step 4: Paint the Harbour

  • Using darker shades, define the harbour walls and the gentle curves of the coastline.
  • Apply flat, bold strokes to represent the reflected light on the water, mixing reds and oranges where it touches the sea surface.

Step 5: Detail the Houses

  • Paint the houses in pastel shades, like blues, pinks, and creams. Use smaller brushes for precise detailing.
  • Add windows and rooftops, being mindful of light and shadow to give depth.

Step 6: Add Boats and Final Details

  • Paint the boats using darker colours for contrast, adding shadows below them to convey floating on water.
  • Include finer details such as masts and rigging with thin brush strokes.

Step 7: Final Touches

  • Review the painting, comparing with the source image, to see if any areas need refining.
  • Add highlights or deepen shadows where necessary to enhance contrast and depth.
  • Let the painting dry completely, and clean your brushes.

By following these steps, you will recreate a vibrant reminder of the serene beauty at Stonehaven Harbour. Enjoy the process and let your brush also capture your personal interpretation of this stunning scene.
