Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Tayvallich Harbour, captured in this exquisite painting, reflects a serene and picturesque Scottish coastal village. The artwork skillfully portrays a vibrant orange boat moored in calm, mirror-like waters, reflecting its vivid hues onto the rippling surface. The background features charming cottages with a rustic appeal, nestled among lush greenery that artfully contrasts the deep blues and greens of the hills and water. The painting employs a bold color palette, emphasizing oranges, blues, greens, and soft earthy tones, all executed in a lively impressionistic style.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and artist’s grid are invaluable for ensuring accuracy in your composition. If you choose to use the grid:

  1. Print the grid version of the painting.
  2. Lightly sketch the grid on your canvas using a pencil.
  3. Transfer the outline of the painting, focusing on the major shapes and objects.

Painting Steps

1. Background

  • Begin with the sky. Use light blues and whites, blending gently for a soft, cloudy effect.
  • Create the distant hills with dark greens and blues, adding hints of brown to suggest the earthy Scottish landscape.

2. Cottages

  • Paint the walls with off-white, adding shadows using light grays and blues.
  • For the roofs, use dark gray or black for contrast. Add details like chimneys with a touch of red or orange.

3. Boat

  • Focus on the boat, using vibrant orange for the hull and white for the cabin.
  • Highlight reflective areas on the boat with brighter oranges and subtle whites.
  • Accent details like ropes and equipment with darker hues.

4. Water and Reflections

  • Use a mix of blue and green with horizontal strokes to create the water surface.
  • Paint the boat’s reflection by mirroring the colors and shapes downward in the water, slightly distorting them for a realistic effect.

5. Foreground and Rocks

  • Add texture to the rocky foreground with a palette knife or brush, using a mix of browns, grays, and greens.
  • Ensure the rocks have varied colors and shapes to enhance realism.

6. Final Details and Touch-ups

  • Review the painting from a distance to ensure composition balance and harmony.
  • Add final details to the boat and cottages to make them stand out against the background.
  • Use sparing highlight colors for visual interest.

Follow these guided steps, taking your time to enjoy the process, and you’ll recreate the tranquil beauty of Tayvallich Harbour with confidence and satisfaction.
