Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings provided in your PDF include a grid to assist with accurate composition. Begin by lightly sketching the basic outlines with a pencil on your canvas, using the grid to align the elements precisely. Focus on positioning the boats and the shorelines in particular.

Step 1: Background and Base Layers

  1. Sky: Mix a soft gradient of blue and white to create the sky. Start from the top, blending downwards into lighter tones near the horizon.
  2. Mountains: Use a combination of blues and blacks with hints of red to paint the distant hills, emphasizing their rugged forms.

Step 2: Water Reflections

  1. Base Water: Mix blues with a touch of black for the water. Ensure smooth, horizontal strokes to mimic the calm surface.
  2. Reflections: Add vivid brushstrokes beneath each boat using corresponding colors (reds, yellows). Blur slightly with a wet brush to suggest reflections.

Step 3: Boats and Buildings

  1. Main Boat: Use bright red for the body, with black and white for details and shadows. Pay attention to the cabin's shape and railings.
  2. Additional Boats: Vary colors for each, such as white and yellow, adding character and individuality.
  3. Buildings: Paint each building using a mix of colors, referencing the source image for guidance.

Step 4: Fine Details and Finishing Touches

  1. Outline and Texture: Use a detail brush with black to outline the boats, buildings, and emphasize intricate elements.
  2. Texture Paint: Add additional paint layers to boats and key areas, creating texture and depth.
  3. Final Check: Step back to review composition. Adjust colors and add highlights to areas needing additional emphasis.
