Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This painting of North Berwick Harbour captures the serene yet dynamic essence of the coastal landscape. The painting bursts with a vibrant palette dominated by warm oranges, yellows, and cool blues and purples. The sky is a brilliant gradient, transitioning from soft pinks to a glowing sunset orange. Below, the tranquil water reflects the sky’s hues, interspersed with deep purples and blues echoing the shadows of the harbour structures. The silhouettes of the distant buildings stand stark against the vibrant horizon, adding a sense of depth and atmosphere. The abstract expressionist style of this painting focuses on bold color contrasts, expressive brushstrokes, and a balance between realism and abstraction.

Structured Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or art paper
  • Acrylic paints (refer to your colour wheel)
  • Brushes: flat, round, and fine detail brushes
  • Palette
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes
  • Pencil or charcoal for sketching

Preparation

  1. Choose Your Workspace: Ensure you have a clean, well-lit area with all your materials within reach.
  2. Review the Pack: Familiarize yourself with the line drawings, artists grid, and the color palette provided in your Paint-Your-Own Pack.
  3. Prepare Your Canvas: Lightly sketch the key outlines using the line drawing as a guide. Alternatively, use the grid version to ensure proportions and placements are accurate.

Painting Steps

1. The Sky

  1. Base Layer: Start by painting the sky using a flat brush. Blend pink, peach, and orange from the top downwards to create a gradient effect.
  2. Create the Sunset Glow: Add layers of brighter orange and yellow where the sun meets the horizon, ensuring a smooth blend into the sky colors.
  3. Tip: Use a dry brush to blend the colors softly for a sunset effect.

2. The Harbour Silhouette

  1. Outline the Buildings: Using a fine detail brush, paint the distant buildings with dark brown or black, preserving sharp, clean lines against the sky.
  2. Depth and Details: Add slight variations in shade to depict depth and minor structures using your sketches as reference.

3. The Water Reflection

  1. Create Depth: Base the water area with deep blues and purples, mimicking the sky’s reflection. Use larger brushstrokes for fluidity.
  2. Add Reflection Dynamics: Introduce strokes of bright colors reflecting the sunset, blending gently for a natural look.
  3. Enhance Details: Use lighter blue brushstrokes to capture ripples and reflections.

4. Finishing Touches

  1. Details and Corrections: With a fine brush, refine any edges and details for clarity.
  2. Review and Adjust: Step back and adjust any areas that may need more color or definition for balance.
