Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of St Monans Harbour in Scotland captures the serene beauty of coastal architecture and its interplay with the sea and sky. The artwork features a harmonious blend of geometric shapes, depicting the town's buildings in muted tones of blues and greens, reflecting the tranquil mood of a quiet seaside day. The harbor's calm waters mirror the structures, enhancing the composition's symmetry and balance. The artistic style leans towards abstraction, reducing the elements to simplistic forms, yet maintaining a realistic essence.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or watercolor paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brush set (flat, round, and detail brushes)
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and grid will assist you in achieving precise proportions and composition. Use these guides to sketch the scene onto your canvas. If using the grid version, align the grid on your canvas with the grid on the sketch to ensure accuracy.

Painting Steps

  1. Prepare Your Canvas
    • Lightly sketch the main geometric shapes using the line drawing as a reference. Ensure the buildings and harbor features fit the layout.
    • Optionally, trace the outlines using the grid to maintain symmetry and scale.
  2. Establish Base Colors
    • Mix the primary hues of light blue, teal, and sea green. Apply these as your base colors across the buildings and harbor.
    • Use a larger flat brush for this step and block in color areas without worrying about details.
  3. Add Depth and Shadows
    • Refer to the color wheel and incorporate darker shades into the shadowed parts of the buildings and water.
    • Use a medium or small flat brush to blend and soften edges between shadows and light areas.
  4. Define Details
    • Switch to a detail brush to add window shapes, rooflines, and any distinct architectural elements.
    • Ensure the lines are clean and sharp, maintaining the painting's geometric style.
  5. Refine Reflections
    • Focus on the harbor area, lightly blending reflections of the buildings onto the water using horizontal strokes.
    • Be subtle, using the same palette as the structures but slightly diluted.
  6. Final Touches
    • Step back and review your work. Adjust any sections that need more contrast or color balance.
    • Add highlights to the water and building edges to mimic sunlight reflecting off surfaces.

Finishing Up

Allow the painting to dry completely. Clean your brushes and palette. Display your work to appreciate the serene elegance of St Monans Harbour captured in your unique style.
