Immerse yourself in the vibrant and dynamic depiction of Oban, Scotland, where bright hues and bold brushstrokes convey the bustling energy of this picturesque seaside town. The painting captures the stunning landscape with dramatic contrasts of orange, blue, and yellow, representing the natural beauty and architectural charm of Oban. The impressionistic style adds a layer of emotion and movement, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between land, sea, and sky.
Start by setting up your canvas in a well-lit area. If you are using the grid, lightly draw the grid on your canvas to help with proportions. Use the line drawing provided in your pack as a reference for accurate layout.
With a diluted wash of blue, lightly paint the sky and water areas. This will serve as a base to build upon. Allow it to dry before proceeding.
Using a medium flat brush, block in the sky with a mix of white and a touch of blue. For the mountainous horizon, apply layers of blue, gently blending towards the light areas to capture depth.
Switch to a broader brush to apply bold strokes of blue and orange for the water and reflections. Use more saturated yellows for land areas in the foreground to echo the warmth and vibrancy depicted in the painting.
Use white to add highlights where necessary, focusing on areas where light naturally hits. Step back to ensure balance in color and composition, making small adjustments as needed.
Refer to the provided colour wheel to mix shades efficiently, ensuring that your palette aligns with the source painting for a cohesive final piece.
Allow your painting to dry completely. Step back and admire your work, appreciating the vibrant energy of your own version of Oban.
