Steps to Paint Cullen Harbour

  1. Prepare Your Canvas:
    • Use the grid version to lightly sketch the framework onto your canvas. This will guide your composition and maintain proportions.
  2. Block in the Background:
    • Using a large flat brush, apply a base layer of sky blue to create the sky, referencing the color wheel for guidance.
    • Add hints of light green and pale orange in the background to suggest distant landscape elements.
  3. Define the Harbour Houses:
    • Using a medium-size round brush, paint the house shapes with a combination of whites and light greys - add small touches of blue for shadows.
    • Incorporate touches of the house shapes with muted pinks and oranges as underlayers.
  4. Create the Water Reflections:
    • Use your palette knife to apply rich blues and hints of vibrant orange in horizontal strokes, emphasizing the reflective qualities seen in the painting.
  5. Add the Bold Color Blocks:
    • With a flat brush, apply deep navy and bright orange in abstract blocks towards the bottom half of the painting.
    • Experiment with layering and knife techniques to achieve the painting’s texture, referring to the positions shown on the line drawing.
  6. Detail and Finish:
    • Refine the edges with a liner brush, adding soft accent lines to enhance structures and reflections.
    • Step back to assess balance and add any final touches to maintain harmony.

Final Touches

Allow your painting to dry, then apply a thin layer of varnish to protect the surface and enhance the vivid colors. Celebrate your artistic journey through Cullen Harbour by embracing the abstract style and vibrant palette, and enjoy displaying your masterpiece.
