Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Dundee, Scotland, captures a serene reflection of a vibrant yet minimalist cityscape. The composition features geometric shapes representing buildings and trees, all mirrored perfectly in calm waters below, creating a sense of symmetry and tranquility. The color palette is a harmonious blend of warm and cool hues, with shades of red, orange, blue, and yellow dominating the scene. The soft watercolor effect enhances the painting's ethereal quality, while the linear forms add a modern, abstract touch.

Painting Steps

1. Sky and Background

Mix a diluted wash of yellow and lightly paint the upper part of your paper to create the sky.
Gradually blend in hints of orange towards the horizon. Allow this to dry completely before proceeding to avoid unwanted blending.

2. Buildings

Refer to your line drawing. Start with the large triangular building in the center, using a mix of blues for a cool contrast.
Paint the surrounding buildings using shades of red, orange, and yellow. Alternate colors for each building to add visual interest.
Use straight, clean brush strokes to maintain the geometric look.

3. Trees

Paint the circular trees in warm tones like light red and pink.
Ensure the paint is more diluted around the edges to create a soft, rounded effect.
Add the tree trunks in a dark, almost black tone, using a fine brush for precision.

4. Water Reflection

Using a similar color palette to the sky and buildings, paint the mirrored reflection in the water.
Remember to flip the shapes vertically, matching the content above the waterline.
Use horizontal brush strokes to enhance the water effect.

5. Finishing Touches

Review your painting for any areas that need intensification or softening.
Add any final details, ensuring all parts are coherent with the reflection.
Allow the painting to dry completely before removing the masking tape.

This structured approach should help you recreate the serene beauty of Dundee, layering colors and shapes to capture its modern, reflective style. Remember, patience and practice are key. Enjoy the process and let your creativity flow!
