Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Work Area
- Set up your canvas and organize your paints and brushes.
- Review the line drawing and optional grid version provided in your pack.
Base Layer: Sky and Water
- Begin with a large flat brush to paint the sky, using soft gradients of orange and yellow at the horizon, fading into more muted blues towards the top.
- Utilize horizontal strokes to blend the colors seamlessly.
- Extend these colors into the water, mirroring the sky’s tones, but with slightly darker hues for depth.
Tip: Keep your brush slightly damp for smoother transitions between colors.
Sketch the Harbor and Boats
- Using a light pencil, refer to your line drawing to sketch the outlines of the buildings and boats accurately.
- The grid version can assist in maintaining proportional accuracy.
Painting the Buildings
- Switch to a medium flat brush and apply darker tones to the buildings, focusing on subtle details and textures.
- Mix earthy browns and deep reds, layered to convey the varying materials and age of the structures.
- Highlight edges and roofs with lighter tones from your palette.
Detailing the Boats
- With a detail brush, paint the boats using deep shadows, emphasizing their mooring at sunset.
- Add reflections beneath the boats, using downward strokes that blend softly into the water’s surface.
Refine and Add Highlights
- Refine shapes and details with smaller brushes, enhancing contrast where necessary.
- Add subtle highlights to windows and water reflections using lighter shades from your palette.
Final Touches
- Review your painting for balance and completeness.
- Add final touches to any areas that require additional depth or color.
- Let your artwork dry thoroughly.

Embrace the tranquility of Oban Harbour as it comes to life on your canvas, capturing the timeless beauty of a Scottish evening.
