Painting Process

  1. Background and Sky:
    • Start by blocking in the sky using light blues and soft creams. Use a flat brush to create smooth blends.
    • Add hints of light purple near the horizon line to suggest distance.
  2. Distant Hills:
    • Apply a muted blue and purple mix to create the distant hills. Ensure the tones are slightly darker than the sky.
    • Use gentle strokes with a flat brush for smooth transitions.
  3. White Cottages:
    • Use bright white paint for the walls and a vivid red for the roofs. A small round brush will help you achieve clean edges.
    • Introduce subtle shadows using diluted grays to give form and depth.
  4. Foreground Hills:
    • Mix vibrant greens, yellows, and oranges to depict the rolling hills. Use broad, expressive strokes.
    • Blend these colors smoothly to capture the varying shades illuminated by the sun.
  5. Harbour Water:
    • Paint the water using a range of blues, ensuring reflections of the sky and nearby elements are considered.
    • Use a medium-sized flat brush, applying horizontal strokes to suggest the water's stillness.
  6. Boat Details:
    • For the boat and its reflection, use dark browns and blacks. Employ a fine detail brush to capture the intricate shapes.
    • Ensure to paint sharp and clear lines, emphasizing the boat's presence in the scene.
  7. Final Touches:
    • Add any final highlights or shadows necessary, particularly where light interacts with structures and natural elements.
