Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack are valuable tools to ensure accuracy as you compose the painting. If you're new to painting or wish to keep proportions precise, use these guides as follows:

Transfer the line drawing onto your canvas by lightly sketching it or by using transfer paper.
If using the grid, either replicate the grid on your canvas lightly using a pencil or mentally use it to align key elements of the painting.

Painting Steps

Background Color Blocking:
- Start by applying a light wash of diluted blue across the water areas. This will serve as an underpainting, setting the tone for the harbor.
- Using large brushstrokes, fill the sky with a gradation of white and yellow, transitioning to orange near the horizon.
Outline Key Elements:
- Use the provided line drawing to sketch the outlines of the buildings and boats lightly. Pay close attention to the scale and placement using the grid as a guide.
Defining Colors and Shapes:
- With a medium-sized brush, paint the buildings using a mix of white and soft pastel colors, keeping the strokes bold and visible.
- Add darker blues and blacks to define the boats and their reflections in the water.
- Introduce the warmer tones (reds and oranges) alongside the buildings and boats to highlight the setting sun.
Adding Details:
- Use a finer brush to add details to the boats’ masts and rigging. Ensure the lines are crisp and contrasted against the water.
- Add splashes of the same colors used in the sky and buildings to the water, mimicking reflection.
Final Touches:
- Review the painting for any areas needing additional detail or color adjustments.
- Embrace the impressionistic style by allowing some brush strokes to remain loose and undefined, adding to the painting's charm.

Conclusion

Once finished, take a step back and appreciate your recreation of Portree Harbour, soaking in its lively colors and tranquil ambiance. This guide intends to provide a satisfying and educational painting experience, allowing you to connect with the beautiful essence of this Scottish haven.
