Painting Process

1. Background

Sky: Begin with the sky, using a bright blue hue. Apply it across the top section using a broad brush with horizontal strokes to create a smooth, even surface.
Horizon: Introduce a lighter blue mixed with white near the horizon for depth and variation.

2. Harbor Structures

Outline: Refer to the line drawing. Use a fine brush to sketch the outlines of the buildings and docks with a dark, neutral color.
Buildings:
- Paint the buildings with bold whites and reds, using crisp, angular strokes to reflect the solid structures.
- Apply shadows with a mix of gray and blue along one side to give depth. Adjust according to the light source depicted in the source image.
Reflections: Extend the colors of the buildings into the water with vertical strokes, blending gently to replicate reflection.

3. Water

Base Layer: Use a mix of blues for the water's base, applying with wide strokes. Blend different shades to capture movement.
Highlights and Details: Add splashes of bright white and yellow to mimic sunlight reflection and create a dynamic interplay with the water.

4. Final Touches

Details: Use a small brush to add finer details such as riggings or dockside elements, emphasizing the painting's intricate aspects.
Adjust: Step back to view the overall composition, touch up areas where colors may need blending or outlines require sharpening.

Using the Grid

The optional grid offers a method to ensure composition accuracy. By aligning features in each section, you can maintain the painting's proportions and alignaments more precisely.

Finishing Up

Seal: Once dry, consider sealing your work with a suitable varnish to protect it and enhance its vibrancy.
Display: Frame your masterpiece and enjoy the personal rendition of St Monans Harbour!
