Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Step into the serene beauty of Oban Harbour, where the Scottish charm unfolds through a play of warm and cool tones. The painting captures the tranquil scene at sunset, as vibrant shades of orange, pink, and purple sky reflect upon the still waters. The picturesque boats in the foreground add life and movement, contrasting with the peaceful, somewhat solemn backdrop of white and rust-colored buildings clinging to the rugged coastline. The style is impressionistic, with bold, expressive brushstrokes that convey the fleeting beauty of the scene, emphasizing the rich contrasts and harmonious palette.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas or watercolor paper according to your preference.
Acrylic or watercolor paints with the color palette provided in the pack.
Brushes of various sizes (small detail brush, medium round brush, and large flat brush).
Palette for mixing colors.
Water (for watercolors or diluting acrylics).
Cloth or paper towels for cleaning brushes.

Getting Started

Begin by setting up your workspace with all materials within reach. Review the line drawings and sketches provided in the pack to familiarize yourself with the composition.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and optional grid version will guide you in accurately placing key elements of the painting. Use the grid to align your initial sketch on the canvas, ensuring proportional accuracy.

Outline the Scene: Use a light pencil or a thin brush with neutral paint to sketch the key shapes — the boats, buildings, and horizon line.
Background Wash: Start with a wash of warm orange and pinks for the sky and its reflections in the water. Use broad strokes with a large flat brush.
Define the Sky: Mix orange and purple hues to add depth and variety to the sky. Blend smoothly for the impressionistic feel.
Base Layers of the Buildings: Layer light creams and whites for the houses on the hillside, using the medium brush for building outlines.
Add Shadow and Depth: Use darker tones like rust and brown to add shadows to buildings, giving them dimension and form.
Highlight the Boats: With the detail brush, paint the boats in rich reds and whites, emphasizing their reflections in the water for cohesion.
Details and Texture: Focus on adding texture to the rocky coastline with dabs of gray and brown. Add finer details to the boats and buildings.
Reflections: Use horizontal strokes in soft, blended pinks and oranges to mirror the sky and boats on the water surface.
Final Touches: Review your painting as a whole. Touch up any areas needing more contrast or detail, ensuring an overall harmonious look.

Finishing Up

Allow your painting to dry completely. Once satisfied, sign your artwork. Share your masterpiece and appreciate the peaceful beauty of Oban Harbour captured by your hand.

Enjoy the process and embrace the impressionistic style as you bring the serene Scottish harbor to life!
