Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

This captivating painting of North Berwick Harbour beautifully captures the serene, yet vibrant atmosphere of a picturesque coastal town. The painting vividly portrays the reflective blue waters of the harbour, dotted with charming boats, their colors ranging from bold reds and blues to soft whites. The distant houses, painted in warm tones of orange and yellow, bask under a gentle sky, infusing warmth and tranquility into the scene. The style is impressionistic, focusing on bold brush strokes and a dynamic use of color to evoke emotion and presence.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Canvas (recommended size: A3)
Acrylic paints or oils in the colors provided in the color palette
Brushes (a range of sizes including fine detail and broad flat)
Pencil for sketching
Palette for mixing colors
Water and cloth for cleaning brushes

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The included line drawings and artist's grid will assist you in getting the proportions and composition accurate. Use the grid as a guide to transfer the main shapes and lines onto your canvas with pencil. The grid will help align the boats, the horizon line, and the positioning of the buildings, ensuring balance and perspective.

Step 1: Sketch the Composition

Place the grid overlay onto your reference photo.
Lightly sketch the main outlines of the boats, waterline, and buildings on your canvas using the grid to maintain accuracy.
Make sure to capture the angles of the boats and the positioning of the ropes and buoys.

Step 2: Block in the Background

Start painting the sky using a light wash of blues and whites, blending softly.
Move to the water area, using deeper blues; use horizontal strokes to mimic the reflective surface.
Add the background buildings with warm tones such as ochre and light orange. Keep the edges slightly blurred to suggest distance.

Step 3: Paint the Boats

First, paint the largest boat using bold blue and white for its hull.
Add in the vibrant red accents for nearby boats, using confident, expressive strokes.
Carefully paint details like the masts and highlight the curvature using lighter shades.
Add shadows underneath and around the boats with a mix of blues and purples to suggest depth and form.

Step 4: Add Reflections and Details

Using a fine brush, add reflections in the water, using slightly warped shapes of the boats and neighboring colors.
Incorporate the ropes and buoys, considering perspective and light direction to add realism.
Add final touches to the houses, ensuring they have dimension and depth with strategic highlights and shadows.

Step 5: Final Touches

Step back and assess the painting for any areas that need more contrast or detail.
Add final highlights on the water and boat edges to accentuate the light.
Ensure the overall balance of warm and cool tones is harmonious.

Once completed, let your painting dry thoroughly before displaying. Enjoy your own piece of North Berwick Harbour!
