Set up your workspace with all necessary materials. Ensure you have good lighting and your reference images, including the color palette and line drawings, are clearly visible.
Using the Grid: If using the grid, lightly sketch the basic shapes of the composition. Begin with the horizon line to separate the sky from the landscape. Use the grid to accurately place key elements like the buildings and boats.
Using Line Drawing: Transfer the line drawing onto your canvas, ensuring the proportions align with your canvas size.
Start with an underpainting to establish the basic tones. Use a wash of diluted paint to block in the large areas of color. Begin with the sky, then progress to the land and water. Use lighter colors to outline the buildings.
To create realistic water reflections, blend the boat and building colors vertically in the water area of the painting. Use horizontal strokes with a dry brush over these areas to soften and blur the reflections.
Step back to assess your painting. Make any final adjustments, ensuring balance and harmony in color and composition. Sign your masterpiece to proudly complete your recreation of Tarbert, Scotland.
Enjoy the personal satisfaction of capturing this beautiful scene, blending colors and textures to reflect your unique expression!
