Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Dunbar Harbour captures a serene scene of the Scottish coast, highlighted by vibrant hues and expressive brushstrokes. The composition showcases a tranquil harbour, with brightly coloured boats reflecting on the calm blue water. The architecture, characterized by whitewashed and pastel buildings, adds depth and history to the landscape. The palette is a harmonious blend of bold reds, crisp blues, soft yellows, and earthy tones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The style is impressionistic, focusing on the play of light and colour, with a touch of abstraction that invites personal interpretation.
