Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting captures the serene beauty of Pittenweem Harbour in Scotland through abstract geometric forms and a harmonious color palette. The artwork features a series of houses along the harbor, boats gently resting on the water, and the soft interplay of light at dusk or dawn. The muted pastel colors, combined with subtle earthy tones and pops of vibrant hues, bring a sense of calm and structure. With a blend of realism and abstraction, the painting evokes both tranquility and intrigue, offering a contemporary take on a classic Scottish coastal scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Paint-Your-Own Pack (PDF with source image, line drawings, sketches, artist's grid)
  • Canvas (recommended size: 16" x 16")
  • Acrylic paints (based on included color wheel)
  • Brushes (small, medium, and large flat brushes)
  • Palette
  • Water cup for rinsing brushes
  • Pencil and eraser

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawing and artist’s grid are designed to ensure accurate composition and proportions. Begin by lightly sketching the grid onto your canvas with a pencil. This will act as a guide for placing the key elements of the painting. Refer to the line drawing to map out the primary shapes and forms on your canvas. Use the grid to find reference points, ensuring your layout matches the original painting.

Painting Instructions

  1. Preparing the Background
    • Mix a light pastel pink using white, a touch of red, and a dab of yellow.
    • Use a large flat brush to cover the upper half of the canvas, creating the sky above the harbor.
    • Apply a soft gray-blue for the water, using horizontal strokes to capture the water’s calmness.
  2. Painting the Structures
    • With a smaller brush, use muted earth tones to outline the shapes of the houses. Refer closely to the line drawing to place each building accurately.
    • Layer lighter shades in the areas hit by light, using beige and cream, and darker tones like brown and gray for shadowed areas.
  3. Adding the Boat
    • Using warm earthy reds and browns, paint the boat's body. Pay attention to its position and reflections, ensuring it aligns with the original scene.
    • Add details such as the mast and any rigging with a fine brush and dark brown paint.
  4. Creating the Foreground Geometric Shapes
    • Switch to bold colors from your palette, such as bright orange and deep red, to paint the geometric sections in the foreground.
    • Ensure clean, sharp edges by using painter's tape if needed.
  5. Final Touches
    • Review your painting for any missed details, adjusting contrasts and hues to match the original painting’s harmony.
    • Allow your painting to dry completely before removing any grid lines or pencil marks.
