Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Step into the serene beauty of Tayvallich Harbour, where vibrant hues of orange and gold blend seamlessly with deep blues and purples, capturing a tranquil sunset over Scotland’s picturesque coastline. This painting embodies a modern impressionistic style, emphasizing bold brushstrokes and a keen attention to color interplay. The striking reflections in the water, the glowing sun peeking over the horizon, and the quaint village buildings create a harmonious and captivating visual narrative.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints (refer to the included color wheel for the palette)
  • Brushes: Flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Canvas or canvas board
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Cup of water (if using acrylics) or solvent (if using oils)
  • Paper towels or a cloth for brush cleaning

1. Preparing Your Canvas

Use the Grid: If you have opted for the artist’s grid version, lightly sketch the grid onto your canvas with a pencil to help with accurate placement.

Use the Line Drawings: Alternatively, use the provided line drawings to trace or sketch the essential outlines onto your canvas to guide composition.

2. Painting the Background

  1. Sky: Start with the sunset sky. Mix orange and yellow hues to capture the warm glow. Use broad, sweeping strokes with a flat brush.
  2. Mountains: Add the distant mountain silhouettes using a mix of purple and blue. Let the colors blend gently into the sky for a natural transition.

3. Adding the Buildings

  1. Use a flat brush to block in the basic shapes of the buildings with muted tones of grey and white.
  2. Highlight areas with lighter tones where the sun reflects on the walls. Use a detail brush for adding windows and other finer details.

4. Painting the Water

  1. Capture reflections by mirroring the colors from the sky and objects onto the water. Use light, horizontal strokes with a soft brush.
  2. Blend colors smoothly to achieve a reflective surface, incorporating hints of orange, blue, and pink.

5. Detailing the Boats

  1. Use dark tones of blue and purple to outline the boats. The bows should be prominent and defined.
  2. Add light detailing, such as the masts and rigging, with a fine-tipped brush. Highlight the boat's edges using golden hues to reflect the sunset.

6. Final Touches

  • Add any remaining details to the reflection and ensure the colors are balanced across the composition.
  • Step back and assess your painting. Make any adjustments needed to ensure that the vivid interplay of colors remains striking and cohesive.
  • Let your painting dry completely before framing or displaying.

Enjoy the process, and remember that each brushstroke brings you closer to capturing the enchanting allure of Tayvallich Harbour!
