Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Lerwick Harbour captures the serene beauty of a coastal town in Scotland with a modern, geometric twist. The composition is an exquisite blend of architectural forms reflected peacefully in the water. The color palette includes soft pastels and earthy tones, with pops of coral and teal against a gentle sky. The artistic style melds realism with abstraction, emphasizing clean lines and shapes while preserving the charm of the harbour scene.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Paint-Your-Own Pack: source painting image, line drawings, sketches, artist grid version, and color wheel
Acrylic or watercolor paints matching the color palette
Brushes: flat and round tips in various sizes
Canvas or painting paper
Pencil and eraser
Palette for mixing colors
Water jar (for acrylics) or clean water (for watercolors)

Instructions

1. Preparing Your Workspace

Set up your workspace with ample lighting and ventilation.
Lay out all materials within reach, including the Paint-Your-Own Pack.

2. Understanding the Composition

Begin by reviewing the source painting image to understand the scene and key elements.
Examine the line drawings and sketches provided. This will guide your layout process.
Optionally, use the artist grid to ensure composition accuracy by aligning key landmarks in the piece.

3. Sketching the Scene

Using the Grid: If using the artist grid version, lightly sketch the grid on your canvas to match the provided version.
Outlining Structures: Use a pencil to lightly outline the major buildings and the boat as indicated in the line drawings.
Including Reflections: Mirror the top structures in the water below to capture the reflection effect.

4. Applying Base Colors

Refer to the color wheel to choose the appropriate colors for each area.
Start with the sky and water, applying a light wash to establish the background.
Paint the building exteriors with corresponding base colors; use flat brushes for larger areas.

5. Building Up Details

Allow the base layers to dry completely, especially when working with watercolors.
Begin adding details to the buildings and the boat using smaller brushes.
Incorporate the window details and subtle variances in building shades as seen in the reference image.

6. Capturing Reflections

Using softer, diluted versions of your colors, paint the reflections in the water.
Blend gently to achieve a realistic, watery effect.

7. Final Touches and Adjustments

Evaluate your painting against the source image for any final adjustments needed.
Add highlights or shadows to enhance depth as required.
Remove any visible grid lines with a clean eraser.

Conclusion

With patience and attention to detail, this guide will help you recreate the tranquil beauty of Lerwick Harbour. Enjoy the process, and let your unique perspective shine through in your artwork!
