Preparation

Begin by reviewing the included line drawings and grid versions in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. These tools will assist you in maintaining the proportions and composition accuracy of the original painting.

Using the Artists' Grid

Print or display the grid version: This will guide the placement of key elements.
Sketch lightly with pencil: Use the grid reference to outline the major structures like buildings and boats.

1. Background and Sky

Mix a light wash of beige: Using your flat brush, paint the sky with soft horizontal strokes, keeping it light and airy.
Add depth with blues: Blend in cooler tones towards the horizon to depict distant mountains, applying gradual pressure for a soft blend.

2. Distant Hills and Water

Layer cool tones: Use various shades of blue and teal to paint the hills using a round brush, adding depth with darker tones under curves.
Paint the water surface: Reflect these colors into the water with horizontal strokes, maintaining a smooth blend.

3. Buildings and Boats

Define structures: Utilize straight lines to outline each building, referring to your grid for correct placement.
Paint the roofs and walls: Alternate between light and dark shades of beige and blue for contrast.
Focus on boats: Use darker, contrasting colors to define the boats, maintaining sharp lines and smooth curves.

4. Reflections and Details

Enhance reflections: With your round brush, mirror the buildings and boats onto the water using softer strokes.
Emphasize edges: Use your detail brush to add sharp lines around the structures, enhancing their geometric form.

5. Final Touches

Add highlights: Use white or a light color to add highlights to the roofs and water reflections for a vibrant finish.
Refine details: Finally, examine the painting from a distance to ensure balance and harmony, touching up where necessary.

Follow these steps with patience and dedication, allowing the mesmerizing beauty of Portree Harbour to come to life on your canvas. Enjoy the process and express your unique touch in this serene scene!
