  • Brushes (varying sizes)

Preparation

  1. Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure your workspace is well-lit and organized, with all materials within easy reach.

Painting Process

  1. Sketch the Composition:
    • Use the line drawing and grid provided to lightly sketch the main outlines of the harbour and buildings on your canvas.
    • Pay attention to placement and proportions to ensure accuracy.
  2. Background and Sky:
    • Mix soft yellow and cream tones to create the sky, using gentle horizontal strokes for a smooth gradient.
  3. Buildings and Harbour Outline:
    • Use a mix of cool greys and blues for the structures. Apply paint with a brush or palette knife for texture.
    • Allow some areas to remain abstract, reflecting the painting's style.
  4. Details and Reflections:
    • Add details to the buildings using darker shades for depth. Use a small brush for windows and roofs.
    • Paint reflections in the water with vibrant reds and oranges. Allow colors to bleed gently for a natural water effect.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Enhance contrast with deeper shadows and highlights where necessary.
    • Smooth out any transitions between colors, blending where desired to mimic the original artistry.

Finishing Up

  • Review: Step back and assess your painting. Make any minor adjustments to color or structure as needed.
