Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack are tools to help ensure the correct composition and proportions of your painting. If you choose to use the grid, lightly sketch it onto your canvas to match the grid in your pack, helping you accurately position the key elements of the scene.

Painting Steps

  1. Sketch the Composition:
    • Using the line drawings as a guide, sketch the main outlines of the buildings, boats, and shoreline on your canvas with a light pencil.
    • Ensure that the proportions are accurate by referencing the grid if needed.
  2. Background and Sky:
    • Mix the soft yellows, oranges, and light blues to paint the sky, working from light to dark tones.
    • Use broad brushstrokes to blend the colors smoothly for a seamless gradient that captures the sunset.
  3. Outline the Horizon:
    • Define the hills and distant buildings on the horizon using dark greens and earth tones.
    • Ensure smooth transitions between the background and these elements for depth.
  4. Buildings:
    • Mix warm earth tones for the buildings, enhancing depth and contrast with shadowy areas.
    • Use lighter highlights on the side of the buildings facing the sunset.
  5. Boats:
    • Paint the boats using bright reds and greens. Prioritize the leading boat for focal emphasis.
    • Add depth and dimension with dark shadows underneath the boats and vibrant reflections in the water.
  6. Water Reflections:
    • Using a palette knife or brush, create dynamic reflections in the water, mimicking the colors from the sky and boats.
    • Incorporate loose, horizontal strokes for a natural-looking reflection.
  7. Final Touches:
    • Add details to enhance realism, like subtle highlights on the water and fine lines for masts.
    • Review the entire painting to ensure a balanced finish, adjusting any areas for better cohesion.

Enjoy the creative process and take your time to explore the interplay of colors and light in Millport Harbour. Happy painting!
