Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas
Acrylic paints (as shown in the color wheel provided)
Brushes (flat, round, and liner)
Pencil for sketching
Reference line drawing/sketch from your pack
Artist grid (optional)

Preparation

Review the Reference Material: Familiarize yourself with the source painting, line drawing, and sketches included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack.
Set Up Your Workspace: Ensure you have adequate lighting and all materials laid out. It's best to work on a flat surface.

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

The line drawing will guide your initial sketches on the canvas, ensuring accurate proportions and placements. If you choose to use the grid version, match the grid lines on the reference image to your canvas; this will improve precision.

Painting Process

Sketch the Basic Shapes: Use a pencil to lightly sketch the outlines of the buildings and their reflections based on the line drawing or grid. Focus on capturing the geometric forms.
Underpainting: Start with a thin wash of neutral colors (gray, light blue) to block in the general shapes of the buildings and water reflections. This will serve as a foundation.
Paint the Buildings:
- Red and Yellow Hues: Mix colors to match the palette on the color wheel. Apply the paints to buildings in the foreground, using flat brushes for crisp edges.
- Neutral Tones: Use pale grays and blues for background buildings to add depth.
Reflections and Water: Use a softer brush to create reflections. Mirror the colors of the buildings below, blending gently to achieve a realistic water effect.
Detail Work: With a liner brush, add small details such as windows and subtle lines that define different building sections. Pay attention to edges and intersections.
Final Touches: Adjust color intensity and contrast as needed. You might want to add highlights or deepen shadows to enhance the three-dimensional feel.

Conclusion

Reflect on your work and compare it with the source painting. Each brushstroke contributes to the vibrant atmosphere of Portree Harbour. Remember, the beauty of art lies in individual interpretation, so embrace any unique elements you’ve brought to your painting.
