Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine yourself at Millport Harbour in Scotland, as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the water. The scene is alive with pastel hues, the gentle pinks and purples of the sky reflecting in the tranquil waters below. Tall masted boats rest peacefully, their dark silhouettes juxtaposed against the rich spectrum of colors. The quaint buildings along the shore add a touch of charm, with hints of blue and earthy tones. This painting captures a moment of serene beauty and invites you to dive into its calming, yet vibrant world.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or paper with pre-printed line drawing/grid, included in your pack
  • Acrylic paints matching the color palette
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail
  • Palette or mixing tray
  • Water jar for cleaning brushes
  • Cloth or paper towels

Begin Your Painting

  1. Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure good lighting and have your source painting image ready. Use the grid to familiarize yourself with the composition.
  2. Sketch and Composition: Use the included line drawing on the canvas to outline the major elements: the horizon line, boats, buildings, and reflections. The grid can assist in scaling correctly, ensuring everything is in proportion.

Painting the Sky and Water

  1. Sky Background: Begin with wider flat brushes to apply a base coat of soft pastels for the sky using a blend of pinks, soft oranges, and purples. Work from the horizon upwards to create a gradient.
  2. Detailing the Sky: Use a round brush for the subtle sun and its glow. Lightly add white and yellow, blending softly into the surrounding sky colors.
  3. Water Surface: Reflect the sky colors onto the water with horizontal brush strokes. Use the same pastel hues and softly blend them into the water, adding some darker lines to indicate gentle ripples.

Painting the Boats and Buildings

  1. Boats: Apply dark browns and blacks for the boat hulls using a smaller flat brush. Add detail to the sails and masts with thin brushes in earthy tones.
  2. Reflections: Extend the colors of the boats into the water with downward brush strokes. Ensure the reflection is slightly blurred for a realistic water effect.
  3. Buildings: Use muted blues and grays for the buildings along the shore. Apply darker shades for shadows and lighter colors for highlights, paying attention to the structure outlined in your line drawing.

Final Touches

  1. Fine Details: Use a detail brush to add smaller elements like rigging on boats, windows, and doors on buildings. This is where precision enhances the painting's realism.
  2. Adjust and Balance: Step back and evaluate your work. Adjust hues or intensity if necessary to achieve harmony across the canvas.
  3. Let it Dry: Once completed, allow your painting to dry completely before framing or displaying.

Enjoy the process and take your time with each element. This masterpiece of Millport Harbour is your own creation, capturing its serene beauty and vibrant atmosphere.
