Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace

    Set up your painting area, ensuring good lighting. Lay out the images from your Paint-Your-Own Pack for easy reference.

  2. Sketch the Composition
    • Use the provided line drawing or artist’s grid to lightly sketch the layout on your canvas, ensuring accurate placement of key elements like the boats and shoreline. Utilize the grid for proportion precision if needed.
  3. Background and Sky
    • Start by painting the sky with soft, broad strokes. Use the colour wheel to blend pale yellows and soft blues for a natural sky appearance.
  4. Paint the Hills and Water
    • Using rich greens and blues from your palette, apply these to the hills and water areas. Allow the brushstrokes to flow freely to capture the reflection and gentle movement of the water.
  5. Add the Boats
    • Mix vibrant reds and deep blacks for the boats. Pay attention to their reflections in the water and apply similar hues softly below the boats for authenticity.
  6. Details and Final Touches
    • Add buildings and rocks using warm oranges and browns. Highlight areas with lighter shades to create depth and dimension.
    • Step back and assess your work, making any additional enhancements to bring your painting to life.

Using the Colour Wheel and Palette

Refer to the colour wheel to mix colors accurately. Note primary hues used frequently in the painting, and explore mixing to achieve subtle variations for depth and realism.
