Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

In this vibrant painting of Perth, Scotland, the viewer is immediately drawn to the bold, contrasting hues that capture the essence of this picturesque location. The centerpiece is a striking orange building that dominates the composition, partially reflected in the serene blue waters below. Complementary colors, such as rich blues and warm oranges, create a harmonious and lively palette. The sky transitions from a deep navy down to paler blue tones, providing a dramatic backdrop. The artistic style is modern and abstract, with geometric forms lending a sense of structure and depth. This piece is both an evocative representation of Perth and a celebration of color and composition.

Using Line Drawings and Grid

Line drawings can serve as a guide to ensure placement accuracy. The grid version will help you maintain proportions and symmetry. You can lightly sketch these guides on your canvas using a pencil.

Painting Process

  1. Background:
    • Start with the sky using a blend of deep navy and lighter blue tones. Use broad strokes with a flat brush to create an even gradient from top to horizon.
    • Allow the sky to dry before moving on to other elements.
  2. Buildings and Ground:
    • Block in the large orange building using a bold, flat color. Leave spaces for windows and lines of detail to be added later.
    • Paint the surrounding buildings in muted tones from your palette, allowing them to recede slightly to enhance the orange building's impact.
  3. Water Reflection:
    • Transition to painting the water, starting with the light blues at the bottom. Work your way towards the top with darker shades.
    • Mimic the abstract reflections by introducing hints of orange and deeper blues. Use loose brush strokes to create a rippling effect.
  4. Details and Refinements:
    • Once the main shapes are dry, use a detail brush to add windows and other architectural details to the buildings.
    • Refine the edges of the buildings and adjust any colors as necessary, using your color wheel as a guide.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Inspect your work for balance and vibrancy. Add any final touches, such as slight adjustments to color saturation or shadows.
    • Allow the painting to fully dry before displaying or framing.
