Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Our line drawings and optional artist grid versions serve as a guide to maintain accurate composition and proportions. Use them to lightly sketch your outline onto the canvas. The grid can be used to transfer the drawing section by section, ensuring alignment and scale are maintained.

Painting Instructions

Sky and Sun:
- Begin with the sky. Mix various shades of orange, from light to dark, using the palette provided in the color wheel.
- Apply the lightest orange around the sun, blending outward to darker tones to create a gradient effect reaching the edges of the canvas.
- Paint the sun with a clean white, ensuring a smooth round shape.
Background Buildings:
- Using a mix of muted blues and grays, begin with the distant buildings.
- Use a small brush to carefully outline rooftops and walls, creating a soft, faded look.
- Add darker shadows to suggest depth and separations between buildings using darker blues and grays.
Harbour and Boats:
- For the water, reflect the sky's colors. Start with horizontal strokes of orange, blending slightly with blue for a reflective surface effect.
- Paint the boats using dark browns and black, focusing on creating depth with shadowing where needed.
- Use a liner brush for the fine lines of the masts and riggings.
Foreground Details:
- Dark silhouettes of trees and the harbour's structure are painted with rich blacks for contrast.
- Ensure the edges are sharp to enhance the contrast against the warm background.
Final Touches:
- Add small birds in the sky using a liner brush for delicate strokes.
- Revisit areas that need highlighting or additional blending. Use lighter tones to highlight specific building edges and water reflections.
- Let the painting dry completely before displaying or framing.

With these steps, you can recreate the captivating beauty of Charlestown Harbour, capturing its vibrant colors and tranquil essence. Enjoy the creative journey and bring a piece of Scotland's serene harbor into your space.
