Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Pennan Harbour captures a serene and atmospheric evening scene, where the tranquillity of the water reflects the subtle glow of the setting sun. The composition features silhouetted boats gently floating in the harbour, framed by quaint houses and steep cliffs. The warm hues of the sunset beautifully contrast against the cool shadows, creating a harmonious balance between light and dark. The colour palette is dominated by soft oranges, deep blacks, and gentle grays, offering a minimalistic yet evocative style that emphasizes simplicity and emotion.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Paint-Your-Own Pack (includes: source image, line drawings, sketches, grid)
  • Acrylic paints
  • Brushes (small, medium, and large)
  • Palette
  • Canvas
  • Water container
  • Rag or paper towel

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Set up your canvas on an easel in a well-lit area. Arrange your paints, brushes, and the Paint-Your-Own Pack for easy access. Keep the colour wheel handy to reference the palette.

Step 2: Outline the Composition

Using the Line Drawings: Utilize the line drawings from the pack to lightly sketch the main elements onto your canvas. The grid option can help maintain accuracy in scale and placement.

Step 3: Paint the Sky

  • Mix a soft peach and light orange for the sky.
  • Using a medium brush, apply the colours in horizontal strokes, blending smoothly to capture the sunset’s warmth.

Step 4: Block in the Water

  • Combine white with a hint of peach for the water's reflective surface.
  • Apply with horizontal strokes, ensuring the centre remains lighter to reflect the setting sun.

Step 5: Add the Sun

Create a subtle glow effect around the sun:

  • Paint the sun with pure white or very light yellow to ensure it stands out against the sky.
  • Softly blend the edges into the sky for a realistic effect.

Step 6: Define the Boats

  • Mix black and dark gray to achieve the boat silhouettes.
  • Use a smaller brush for precise lines and details.

Step 7: Add Details to the Buildings and Cliffs

  • Use deep blacks and grays for the cliffs and buildings, maintaining a consistent silhouette effect.
  • Carefully follow the sketches to position windows and doors.

Step 8: Final Touches and Blending

Review the painting to ensure consistency and balance. Gently blend any harsh transitions between colors and adjust the intensity of shadows if needed. Allow the painting to dry completely.

With patience and careful attention to detail, your recreation of Pennan Harbour will capture the tranquil elegance of the original painting, making it a striking piece of art to display.
