Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

St Monans Harbour is a stunning representation of tranquil seaside life, beautifully capturing the serene atmosphere of a coastal village. In this painting, the calm, turquoise waters reflect the bright, white-walled houses along the harbour. The subtle use of light enhances the texture of the stone buildings and the vibrant blue skies, which create a sense of depth and tranquility. The painting's minimalistic yet evocative style highlights the juxtaposition of man-made structures against the natural landscape, using a cool color palette dominated by shades of blue, green, and white.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic/oil paints (refer to your colour wheel for specific shades)
Paint brushes of varying sizes
Canvas
Palette for mixing colours
Water (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)
Rag or paper towels

Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas

Choose Your Format: Decide whether you wish to use the line drawings or the artists grid as your base. This will help guide the composition.
Transfer the Image: Lightly trace the main lines and shapes onto your canvas using pencil or charcoal. Use the grid method for higher accuracy if preferred.
Prime the Canvas: Apply a thin layer of gesso if your canvas is not pre-primed, allowing it to dry before beginning.

Step 2: Establish the Background

Sky: Start by applying a light blue wash across the top portion of your canvas for the sky. Use smooth horizontal strokes.
Water: Use a blend of turquoise and lighter aquas to create the water, ensuring the reflections are blended into the sea.

Step 3: Paint the Buildings

Base Colour: Block in the buildings with a warm white mixed with a hint of grey to mimic the stone texture.
Shadows and Highlights: Add depth by using darker greys for shadows. Highlight with pure white on the sunlit areas.
Details: Use a smaller brush to add doors, windows, and roof details. Refer to your line drawing for guidance.

Step 4: Add the Boat

Outline: Use a thin brush to outline the boat using a dark blue or black.
Colour Blocking: Fill in with vibrant navy blue and accents of red for realistic effect.
Reflection: Use horizontal strokes beneath the boat to blend its reflection into the water.

Step 5: Final Touches

Reflections: Revisit the water reflections, adding hints of color reflected from the buildings and boat using short, quick brushstrokes.
Texture and Detail: Introduce subtle textures to the stonework with a dry brush technique for realism.
Review and Adjust: Step back, review your work, and make any necessary adjustments to balance light and colour.

Enjoy the Process: Take your time and enjoy the artistic journey as you bring St Monans Harbour to life on your canvas. Remember, each brushstroke is a step closer to capturing the serene beauty of this picturesque scene.
