Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Supplies You'll Need

  • Acrylic paints matching the color palette provided in the PDF pack (blues, oranges, whites, blacks, yellows, greens).
  • Brushes of various sizes, including flat and round brushes.
  • Canvas or painting paper matching the size of your line drawing or grid.
  • Palette for mixing colors.
  • Water and brush cleaner.

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

The line drawings in your pack will help outline key elements of the scene. Use the grid to maintain proportions, particularly useful for beginners. You can lightly sketch these outlines with a pencil on your canvas.

Painting Instructions

  1. Preparation:
    • Set up your workspace with good lighting.
    • Arrange your paints and brushes within easy reach.
    • Review the provided color wheel to familiarize yourself with the palette.
  2. Background Layer:
    • Start by painting the sky using light blues, allowing for blending with white to achieve a softer appearance.
    • Apply broad strokes using a flat brush.
    • Extend the blues into the sea area of the painting.
  3. Land and Fields:
    • Use greens and yellows to depict the fields, varying the shades for a more dynamic look.
    • Use a slightly rough texture to match the abstract style.
  4. Buildings:
    • Outline the houses using the grid. Paint the walls in muted whites and soft greys, adding contrast with darker roofs.
    • Apply orange accents to chimneys, capturing their vibrant pops of color.
  5. Foreground and Harbor:
    • Mix light and dark blues for the harbor, maintaining abstract shapes with your strokes.
    • Add darker shades or black for shadows and depth.
    • Incorporate oranges and reds dynamically within the foreground to balance the sea's cool tones.
  6. Final Touches:
    • Assess your painting from a distance, adjusting the contrast and brightness where needed.
    • Use a smaller brush for any finer details or corrections.
