Using the Pack

The Paint-Your-Own Pack includes a line drawing and an artist grid template to assist with composition. Use these to sketch the outline on your canvas before starting to paint. The color wheel in the pack will guide you in selecting the appropriate hues.

Step 1: Sketching the Outline

  1. Place the grid overlay on your canvas to ensure accurate proportions. Begin by lightly sketching the main outlines of the buildings, boats, and horizon using a pencil.
  2. Focus on positioning key elements according to the grid to maintain the painting's composition.

Step 2: Painting the Background

  1. Start with the sky using soft blues and neutral tones. Blend lightly to achieve a smooth gradient, capturing the serene sky over the harbor.
  2. Move to the backdrop buildings, using warm earthy shades. Use a flat brush to apply bold, geometric strokes to represent the varied architecture.

Step 3: Painting the Water

  1. Mix several shades of blue with a touch of white for the water. Consider the interplay of light and reflection to create depth and motion in the harbor water.
  2. Add reflections of the boats and buildings using slightly diluted paint for a softer look.

Step 4: Detail the Boats

  1. Using a smaller brush, paint the boats with vibrant yellows and reds to capture the lively atmosphere.
  2. Emphasize shadows and highlights to give volume and structure to each boat. Use white for highlights and darker shades of blue or black for shadows.

Step 5: Adding Final Touches

  1. Review your painting for any areas that need additional detail or refinement. Use a thin brush for intricate lines and contours.
  2. Add any final highlights or adjustments to colors to enhance the vibrancy and contrast of your composition.

Step 6: Finishing Up

  • Allow your painting to dry completely. Step back and admire your recreation of Stonehaven Harbour.
  • Sign your masterpiece, and feel proud of the lively, dynamic artwork you’ve brought to life!
