Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine the serene beauty of Lerwick Harbour, captured in a unique blend of abstraction and minimalism. The painting exudes calm as it portrays a series of geometric shapes representing the buildings and reflections in the tranquil waters. The color palette is a harmonious mix of soft greens, cool grays, and gentle creams, with a striking black boat cutting through the softness, creating a focal point that draws the eye. Architectural forms are simplified to highlight the essence of the harbour’s quaint charm, reflecting both the culture and the quiet elegance of a coastal town.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Paints: Green, Gray, Cream, Black, White
  • Brushes: Flat and detail brushes
  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Palette

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

  1. Set up your workspace: Ensure good lighting and have your Paint-Your-Own Pack materials ready.
  2. Sketch the composition: Use the line drawing or grid version to lightly sketch the shapes onto your canvas with a pencil. You can follow the grid to maintain accuracy in the geometric design.

Step 2: Establishing the Background

  1. Mix a base color: Blend a soft gray-green hue using green, gray, and a touch of white.
  2. Paint the water area: Apply the mixed color to the lower portion of your canvas, representing the water. Use broad brush strokes with a flat brush for a smooth, even finish.

Step 3: Adding the Architectural Elements

  1. Define the shapes: Using the reference from your pack, paint the building shapes with varied shades of cream and gray. These should contrast subtly with each other and the background.
  2. Ensure clean edges: Use a flat brush for straight lines and be precise to maintain the geometric nature of the design.
  3. Add depth: Layer darker tones to add dimensionality to specific areas, creating shadows and highlights where necessary.

Step 4: Painting the Boat

  1. Draw the outline: Use the line drawing to outline the boat shape with a pencil.
  2. Fill in the color: Paint the boat with a deep black, using a detail brush for precision.
  3. Highlight the reflection: Add a lighter shade of black beneath the boat to suggest its reflection in the water.

Step 5: Final Touches

  1. Add details: Use a fine brush to incorporate small windows and additional elements to the buildings as shown in the original painting.
  2. Refine the edges: Go over any lines that need sharpening or redefining, ensuring the painting retains its minimalist abstraction.
  3. Review your work: Step back and ensure the colors and elements align well with the image in your Paint-Your-Own Pack.

Using Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawing provides a simplified outline of the key components in the painting. Use it to trace or guide your initial sketch on the canvas. The grid is a valuable tool for ensuring proportions are accurate. Line up your sketch with the grid lines for a precise layout before painting.

With this guide and your kit, you're equipped to recreate the serene beauty of Lerwick Harbour, capturing its minimalist charm and balance of form and color.
