Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting captures the serene beauty of Dunbar Harbour, Scotland, with a modern, abstract twist. It beautifully juxtaposes cool shades of blue with warm yellows and oranges, creating a vibrant balance between the sky, water, and town. The sun casts a calming reflection over the harbor, while geometric shapes add a unique stylized charm to the landscape. The artistic style marries abstraction with impressionism, focusing on color blocks that convey depth and movement.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or painting surface
  • Acrylic paints (refer to your color wheel)
  • Brushes: flat, round, and detail brushes
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water jar and rag for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The provided line drawings and optional grid version are designed to help you accurately plot the composition on your canvas. If using the grid:

  1. Grid the Source Image: Divide the source image into equal squares.
  2. Grid Your Canvas: Lightly draw a matching grid on your canvas with a pencil.
  3. Transfer the Drawing: Use the grid to help place key elements correctly.

Painting Steps

  1. Background Sky and Sun:
    • Mix a pale blue and yellow to create the sky.
    • Use a large flat brush to apply broad strokes from top to middle.
    • Paint the sun with a warm white using a round brush for smooth edges.
  2. Water:
    • Create a gradient using cooler blues and greens.
    • Divide the water into abstract rectangular sections, varying shades to depict reflections and movement.
    • Use a flat brush, and blend gently where needed.
  3. Harbor and Buildings:
    • Mix shades of orange, blue, and grey for the buildings.
    • Paint the blocks of the town with attention to geometric shapes; use a detail brush for rooftops and spires.
  4. Sailboat:
    • Use dark blue and black for the hull.
    • Paint the sails with off-white, highlighting edges with a lighter tint for realism.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Review the painting, adjusting colors for depth and harmony.
    • Add highlights with a small brush to create a sense of light and dimension.
    • Allow your painting to dry thoroughly before displaying.

This structured approach, paired with the line drawings, ensures an accurate yet personalized recreation of the beautiful Dunbar Harbour scene.
