Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine the serene beauty of North Berwick Harbour captured on canvas. The painting is an impressionistic depiction of the tranquil coastal scene at dusk. The sky is a soft gradient of pinks and oranges, setting a warm tone. Calm waters reflect this colorful sky, touched by the silhouettes of boats gently bobbing by the harbor. The boats are notable for their vibrant reds and blacks, creating a striking contrast. In the background, quaint buildings line the shore, each rendered in subtle grays and blues, complementing the overall harmony of the scene. The painting possesses a modern, abstract edge, with bold lines and a balanced composition that draws the eye effortlessly from element to element.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas (size of your choice)
  • Acrylic paints: pink, orange, red, black, white, blue, gray
  • Brushes: flat, round, and fine detail brushes
  • Palette
  • Water and palette knife
  • Line drawing and grid from your Paint-Your-Own Pack

Using the Line Drawing and Grid

Line Drawing: Use the provided line drawing to get the basic outlines of the composition onto your canvas.

Grid Method: If you're using the grid, securely tape the grid to your canvas. This will aid in placing elements accurately, especially the alignment of boats and buildings.

Painting the Sky

  1. Mix soft pink and a hint of orange. Using a large flat brush, paint the sky starting from the top of the canvas downwards, blending as you go.
  2. Gradually lighten the mixture with white as you move towards the horizon for a natural gradient effect.

Painting the Water

  1. Mix pale blue with touches of pink to reflect the sky. Use a flat brush to cover the water area beneath the sky.
  2. Add white to highlight reflections. Use sweeping horizontal strokes to imitate water movement.

Adding the Harbour and Buildings

  1. Mix gray with a slight blue tint for the distant buildings. Use a small round brush for block shapes, using the grid lines as guides for placing them accurately.
  2. Add details with white to represent the rooftops. Focus on keeping the shapes simple and angular.

Painting the Boats

  1. Use a vibrant red for the hulls of the boats. Carefully outline and fill these areas, referring to your line drawing for precision.
  2. Mix black and a touch of blue for the upper parts of the boats.
  3. Use white highlights to create dimension and reflections on the boats.

Final Touches

  • Add lines and details with fine brushes, focusing on edges of boats and reflections.
  • Adjust contrasts with darker tones for depth around the boats and lighter tones near light sources.
  • Review the composition and adjust any areas for balance and accuracy.
