Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack are designed to help you accurately map out the proportions and placement of major elements within the painting. Use these tools to lightly sketch the key structures onto your canvas with a pencil before beginning to paint.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Set up your canvas on the easel.
  2. Using the grid, lightly sketch out the prominent structures such as the white buildings, lighthouse, and water reflections.
  3. Focus on outlining the horizon and major lines that divide the sky, land, and water.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Mix shades of blue, yellow, and orange according to the provided color palette.
  2. Start with the sky, using a wide brush to apply the blue base. Gradually blend in the yellow and orange hues for the sunset effect.
  3. Work swiftly to create smooth gradients, using a wet-on-wet technique if necessary.

Step 3: Develop the Background

  1. Mix darker tones to depict the landmass and understated details.
  2. Apply with broad, expressive strokes to create texture and depth.
  3. Leave areas for the structures and reflections that you will add later.

Step 4: Paint the Buildings

  1. Use lighter colors to block in the main form of the buildings.
  2. Apply highlights and shadows with smaller brushes to create a sense of dimension.
  3. Add roof and window details using a fine brush.

Step 5: Create Reflections in the Water

  1. Using a palette knife, drag down colors to mimic reflections of the sky and buildings in the water.
  2. Add darker horizontal lines to simulate the water's surface.
  3. Gently blend to create a realistic reflection effect.

Step 6: Final Details and Touches

  1. Add fine details to the lighthouse and any additional structures.
  2. Use the palette knife to add texture to the water and land.
  3. Finish with any highlights or additional reflections as needed.

Once your painting is complete, step back and admire your recreation of the Isleornsay Harbour, immersing yourself in the serene beauty of the Scottish coast you’ve brought to life!
