Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Aim: Use the line drawings to trace or sketch the main shapes onto your canvas. If you choose the artist’s grid, align your sketch within the grid to achieve accurate proportions.

  1. Preparation: Set up your workspace with all materials ready. Place the line drawing over your canvas and lightly sketch the outlines of the main elements: boats, buildings, waterline, and hills.
  2. Base Layer:
    • Background: Start with the sky, using a light mix of blue and white.
    • Hills and Buildings: Apply a light wash of green for the hills and pastel hues for the buildings, referencing your colour palette.
  3. Mid-Layer Painting:
    • Boats: Use bold reds and blues for the boats, paying attention to light sources to add dimension.
    • Reflections: Mirror the colours of the boats below the waterline, using long horizontal brushstrokes for a reflective effect.
  4. Detailing:
    • Highlights: Use white paint to add highlights on the boats and water to accentuate light reflection.
    • Shadows: Add depth with darker shades along the edges of boats and buildings.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Add any necessary details to emphasize elements such as masts, windows, and textures on water.
    • Step back and evaluate. Adjust colours and shapes as needed, ensuring balance and harmony in the composition.

By following these steps and utilizing the tools within your Paint-Your-Own Pack, you will be able to capture the essence of Millport Harbour, emboldening the scene with your unique artistic interpretation. Remember to enjoy the process and let your creativity flow!
