Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Dunbar Harbour captures the serene beauty of a Scottish coastal village. The vibrant reds and oranges of the boats and buildings contrast with the deep blues of the water, reflecting a dynamic interplay between land and sea. The sky is filled with expressive clouds, hinting at a typical brisk Scottish weather, beautifully linking to the harbor scene below. The style is impressionistic, with bold brushstrokes adding texture and movement, inviting the viewer to explore the lively yet tranquil settings of this charming harbor.

Preparing Your Workspace

Ensure you have a clean and well-lit workspace. Have your Paint-Your-Own Pack ready, which includes line drawings, sketches, and optional artist’s grid versions.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and grid are tools to help you with composition accuracy. Begin by lightly sketching the main outlines onto your canvas using the line drawing as a reference. Use the grid version if you desire more precision in replicating the spatial arrangement.

Painting Instructions

Sky and Clouds:
- Start with the sky using a mix of Titanium White, Payne’s Grey, and a hint of Ultramarine Blue for the clouds.
- Apply the paint in broad, expressive strokes to mimic the cloud formations. Use a dry brush technique to blend softly.
Harbor Water:
- Mix Ultramarine Blue with a touch of Alizarin Crimson and White to achieve the deep blue tones of the water.
- Paint smooth horizontal strokes, gradually adding lighter shades for reflections.
Buildings:
- For the buildings, mix Burnt Sienna with Yellow Ochre and White to achieve warm earth tones.
- Add Cadmium Red for the red building highlights, and use a detail brush for accurate lines.
Boats and Reflections:
- Use bold reds and oranges, mixing Cadmium Red with Alizarin Crimson for the boats and their reflections.
- Apply with confident strokes to capture the lively reflections in the water.
Final Touches:
- Add depth and contrast with darker shades using Payne’s Grey for shadows.
- Use a liner brush for highlights and fine details, enhancing the texture where needed.
