Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Step into the serene charm of Millport Harbour, Scotland. This painting captures the vibrant life of the quaint coastal village with its colorful fishing boats gently rocking on the pristine, reflective water. The rich hues of the buildings lining the harbour, ranging from warm ochres to cool blues, add depth and texture to the scene. The sky, painted in soft blues with wispy clouds, mirrors the tranquility and freshness of the sea. Embodiments of Scottish coastal life, the houses and boats are rendered in a lively yet impressionistic style, inviting you to explore the delicate interplay of light and shadow.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings serve as your blueprint, offering clear outlines of the main shapes and elements. Use the grid version to ensure the correct proportions and placement of each component by matching the lines with your canvas.

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Grid Setup: If using the grid, lightly sketch the same grid onto your canvas to aid in accurate placement.
Base Layer: Apply a thin wash of light blue to cover the sky and water areas. This will create a unified background wash to build upon.

Step 2: Painting the Sky and Water

Sky: Start by painting the sky with a mix of light blue, softening around the cloud areas for contrast. Use broad strokes for a smooth gradient.
Water: Reflective blues should mirror the sky but with slightly darker, richer tones. Use horizontal strokes to suggest water ripples.

Step 3: Detailing the Harbour

Buildings: Referencing the line drawing, block in the shapes of the buildings with warm yellows and cooler blues. Add textural details using a smaller brush.
Boats: Use the supplied sketches and colour wheel to accurately depict the boats. Reds, blues, and yellows should be applied with care, using finer brushes for detail work.

Step 4: Adding Shadows and Highlights

Shadows: Mix darker shades using complements of your base colors, applying them to under the eaves of roofs, hulls of boats, and other shadowed areas.
Highlights: With a clean brush, add highlights with pure white or light yellow for sunlit reflections on the water and edges of buildings and boats.

Step 5: Final Touches

Fine Details: Add mast lines and other small details with a fine brush to enhance realism.
Reflections: Slightly blur the water’s surface to soften the boat reflections. Ensure edges are not overly defined.
Check Proportions: Use the grid as a final accuracy check to ensure your composition aligns with the guide.

Conclusion

Once complete, step back to view your painting as a whole. Adjust any areas as needed to achieve desired balance and harmony, capturing the charm and essence of Millport Harbour.
