Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or canvas board
  • Acrylic paints (matching the color palette provided)
  • Brushes: large flat, medium round, small detail
  • Palette
  • Water container
  • Palette knife
  • Pencil (for sketching)

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings and optional grid overlay assist in accurately positioning elements within the composition. Use these tools to lightly sketch out the key elements of the scene on your canvas, focusing on the horizon, the hills, and the main buildings.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Begin by lightly sketching the horizon line and the outline of the hills and buildings using a pencil. Reference the line drawings provided.
  2. If using the grid, ensure the main elements are correctly aligned to maintain proportional accuracy.

Step 2: Block in the Background

  1. Using a large flat brush, apply a base layer of muted blue-gray to the sky, blending softly towards the horizon.
  2. Paint the distant hills with a deep indigo, gradually lightening it towards the edges to suggest atmospheric perspective.

Step 3: Paint the Middle Ground

  1. Switch to a medium round brush to add the vibrant grassy area. Use bright yellows and greens, letting them mix slightly on the canvas for a natural look.
  2. Add the buildings with a pallet of soft grays and whites, highlighting the roofs with a touch of light to create dimension.

Step 4: Define the Foreground

  1. With a palette knife, apply thick strokes of orange and red in the foreground water reflections, creating a textured, dynamic effect.
  2. Use a small detail brush to add shadows with deep purples and blues, enhancing the contrast with the warm colors.

Step 5: Add Final Details

  1. Refine the sailboats in the harbor using a crisp white, applying gentle shadows for depth.
  2. Add any final highlights or shadows as needed to ensure a balanced composition, using the color wheel for guidance.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

  • Allow the painting to dry completely.
  • Step back and make adjustments as needed to ensure harmony throughout the piece.
