Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Paint-Your-Own Pack (including source image, line drawings, sketches, grid version, and color wheel)
  • Acrylic or oil paints (as referenced in the color palette)
  • Brushes in various sizes
  • Canvas
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water jar (for acrylics) or oil medium (for oils)
  • Rags or paper towels

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The supplied line drawings and grid versions in your Paint-Your-Own Pack are tools to help you maintain composition accuracy. Start by choosing whether to use the line drawing or grid method:

  • Line Drawing: Transfer the outlines onto your canvas using carbon paper or by lightly sketching with a pencil. This provides a clear guide to follow as you begin painting.
  • Grid Method: Divide both the source image and your canvas into an equal number of squares. Copy the image square by square to preserve the proportions accurately.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Begin by lightly sketching the main structures—boats and buildings—if you haven’t used the line drawing.
  2. Ensure the horizon line and boat placements are accurate according to the image.

Step 2: Background and Sky

  1. Mix shades of blues and greys for the sky using your color wheel as a guide.
  2. Apply the paint with broad, sweeping motions to mimic the swirling cloud effect.
  3. Blend softly where the sky meets the horizon to create a sense of depth.

Step 3: Midground – Buildings

  1. Use whites, warms reds, and earthy tones for the buildings.
  2. Pay attention to highlights and shadows, emphasizing the angles and rooftops.
  3. Detail windows and chimneys last, using a fine brush.

Step 4: Foreground – Boats and Water

  1. Start with the red and blue boats; use bold, confident brushstrokes for the boat bodies.
  2. Capture the reflections in the water using horizontal strokes, blending colours smoothly to reflect the boats.
  3. Add detailed elements like ropes and masts with precise, deliberate strokes.

Step 5: Final Touches

  1. Use your smallest brush for final highlights and details—such as reflections on windows and subtle texture on the water.
  2. Step back frequently to assess the overall balance and adjust colors if necessary.
