  • Canvas or painting paper
  • Brushes of various sizes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • The Paint-Your-Own Pack

Preparation

  1. Set up your workspace with good lighting and a comfortable seating position.
  2. Using the Paint-Your-Own Pack, open the source painting image and familiarize yourself with the line drawing and artist grid versions provided.
  3. Lay out your paints and arrange your brushes for easy access.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings simplify the key elements of the painting, and the artist grid aids in composition accuracy by dividing the painting into manageable sections. Use these tools to guide the placement of major shapes and forms on your canvas.

Painting Steps

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

  1. Begin by lightly sketching the basic outlines using the line drawing as a guide.
  2. Utilize the grid to maintain correct proportions and alignment.

Step 2: Paint the Sky

  1. Mix shades of orange, pink, and a touch of yellow, referring to the color wheel in your pack.
  2. Use broad brushstrokes to paint the sky, focusing on the vibrant, sweeping clouds.
  3. Blend colors softly to achieve an impressionistic look.

Step 3: Create Reflections on the Water

  1. Using similar colors from the sky, add streaks and reflections on the water surface.
  2. Focus on maintaining the fluidity and motion of the water with loose brushstrokes.

Step 4: Paint the Buildings and Boats

  1. Use muted tones for the buildings and boats, allowing them to stand out against the vibrant sky.
  2. Pay close attention to details like shadows and highlights to add depth.

Step 5: Add Details to the Foreground

  1. Using darker shades, paint the rocky foreground, drawing attention to its texture with varied brushstrokes.
  2. Add fine details to the small boat in the foreground to enhance realism.

Step 6: Final Adjustments

  1. Step back from your painting and assess the balance of colors and composition.
  2. Make any necessary adjustments to hues and details to ensure harmony in the artwork.

Completing the Painting

Once satisfied with your work, allow the painting to dry completely. The recreation of Isleornsay Harbour will be a vivid testament to the stunning beauty of a Scottish sunset, capturing the essence of tranquility.
