The artwork is composed of rich, expressive brushstrokes that bring to life the picturesque waterfront and the rolling hills in the background. The color palette is a stunning mix of warm oranges and cool blues, reflecting the interplay of sunset light with the tranquil water, providing a harmonious contrast that highlights the architectural charm of the harbor buildings.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Painting Steps

  1. Start with the Sky
    • Mix a warm orange hue for the sky using the color wheel provided in your pack.
    • Use broad, horizontal brushstrokes to fill in the upper section, gradually blending with lighter shades towards the horizon.
    • Create a soft blend into cooler tones as you reach the horizon to introduce the evening light transition.
  2. Paint the Water
    • Mix various shades of blue from your palette.
    • Apply these with horizontal strokes, reflecting the subtle movements of the sea.
    • Add touches of orange and yellow to depict the sun's reflection, using fluid, swaying strokes to emulate the water's texture.
  3. Details of the Harbor and Buildings
    • Using the line drawings, carefully paint the outlines of the buildings with darker blues and reds.
    • Combine these colors with whites to add depth and highlight, focusing on how the light falls on different surfaces.
    • Add subtle details to the structures using a smaller brush.
  4. Incorporate the Boats
    • Use deeper tones for the boats, adjusting colors to contrast with the reflecting water.
    • Capture the essence of movement and stillness by varying the intensity of your strokes.
  5. Final Touches
    • Add any necessary reflections or shadows, referencing the light direction.
    • Refine edges and enhance colors wherever needed to maintain balance and focus.
    • Step back regularly to view your progress and ensure the painting has a cohesive, harmonious feel.
