Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Immerse yourself in the serene and picturesque charm of Portree Harbour, captured beautifully in this painting. The artwork presents an enchanting view of the harbour with a modern, geometric style that simplifies the quaint, stacked houses of the shore into a series of blocks and colors. Soft, muted shades of blue, green, and grey dominate the scene, offering a tranquil and atmospheric depiction. Reflections ripple gently in the water beneath, while a lone boat creates a point of interest in the composition. The overall style is a blend of realism and abstraction, providing both a detailed yet calming scene.

Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic paints in the colors provided on the color wheel.
Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes.
Canvas or canvas board.
Pencil for initial sketches.
Ruler or grid tool (optional).

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Canvas
- Begin by applying a thin base layer of light grey or white across the entire canvas. This will help the colors you apply later to stand out.
Transfer the Line Drawing
- Use the provided line drawing and artists grid to sketch the main outlines of the buildings and boat. You can transfer the sketch by overlaying it on the canvas and lightly tracing with a pencil.
- If using the grid method, ensure your canvas is divided into matching sections to maintain accuracy in proportions.
Block in Major Shapes and Background
- Start with the sky and background gradient using broad strokes. Mix light blues and greys to create a soft, blended backdrop.
- Paint the basic shapes of the houses with flat, even strokes. Use colors as per the palette provided, focusing on light blues, mints, and muted whites.
Add Architectural Details
- With a smaller brush, start adding window shapes, doors, and roof lines. Use darker blues and greens to give depth and dimension to these areas.
Reflection and Water Details
- Carefully apply colors beneath the buildings using vertical strokes to create the reflection. Mix the colors slightly to mimic the natural blending seen in water reflections.
Paint the Boat
- Use dark and light contrasts to define the boat’s shape and details. The hull can be made with a darker blue, allowing the cabin's lighter colors to pop.
- Add the reflection of the boat with soft, consistent strokes directly beneath it.
Final Touches
- Enhance the shadows and highlights to add depth. Use the lightest and darkest shades sparingly for contrast.
- Review the overall composition to ensure cohesive color blending and alignment with the source image.

With these steps, you'll bring the tranquil and harmonious Portree Harbour to life on your canvas. Take your time, enjoy each brushstroke, and feel the essence of this stunning Scottish port.
