Painting Steps

Step 1: Background Wash

Mix a light cream color using white and a touch of yellow ochre.
Using a flat brush, apply this base color evenly across the sky area, maintaining smooth horizontal strokes.
Gently blend some warm gray near the horizon to indicate distant hills.

Step 2: Underpainting the Water

Create a light gray-blue mixture with gray and a hint of blue.
Apply this color to the water area, reflecting the sky’s gradient.
Add slight variations using the edge of the flat brush to mimic water reflections.

Step 3: Painting the Buildings

Refer to the artist's grid and line drawing for building placements.
Use yellow ochre for most buildings, painting distinct rectangular blocks.
Highlight building edges and rooftops with a mix of gray to add depth.

Step 4: Adding Details

Switch to a medium round brush for finer details.
Paint windows and roof lines using black for contrast.
Enhance reflections in the water using horizontal strokes of thinly applied black and gray.

Step 5: Final Adjustments

Review your painting and compare it with the source image.
Make any necessary adjustments in color or detail to ensure harmony and balance.
Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying or framing.

Tips for Success

Constantly refer to your line drawing and grid for alignment.
Mix and test colors on scrap paper before applying to your painting.
Keep your brush strokes consistent for a cohesive look.
