Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The line drawing and grid version of the painting will help ensure accuracy in composition. Start by transferring the main outlines onto your canvas using the grid method. This involves drawing a corresponding grid lightly on your canvas and marking key points to maintain scale and proportion.

1. Sketching the Composition

Begin with the sky: Use broad strokes to sketch out the cloud patterns and major areas of light and shadow.
Outline the buildings: With the line drawing as a reference, lightly outline the shape and positions of the buildings using a pencil.
Position the boats: Sketch the outlines of the boats, ensuring they reflect the dynamic angles seen in the source image.

2. Painting the Sky

Mix your colors: Refer to the color wheel for guidance. Create a base mix of grays and blues for the cloudy sky.
Apply background tones: Start with the lighter tones, blending in darker shades to create depth.
Add texture: Use a larger brush or a palette knife to add dynamic textures that mimic the movement of clouds.

3. Painting the Buildings

Base layers: Begin with a light layer of neutral tones for the walls and roofs.
Colorful details: Add the distinctive colorful facades using vibrant yellows, blues, and reds.
Add shadows and highlights: Use darker tones for shadows under the eaves and around windows, followed by lighter highlights to add dimension.

4. Painting the Boats

Base colors: Paint the hulls of the boats with their respective base colors — vibrant reds and blues.
Reflections: Carefully add reflections into the water, using softer brush strokes to mimic the gentle ripples.
Add details: Use a fine brush to add details like ropes, windows, and other small features.

5. Final Touches

Refine details: Add final details to enhance the realism, such as small highlights and deepening shadows where necessary.
Check balance: Take a step back to assess the overall composition and adjust any areas that need more cohesion.

6. Finishing Up

Let your painting dry completely before applying any varnish if desired. Once completed, your recreation of the beautiful St Monans Harbour will be ready to display and admire.
