Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic paints as per the color palette provided in the pack
Brushes in various sizes (fine detail brush, medium flat brush, and large brush)
Canvas or painting surface
Palette for mixing colors
Water and paper towels for cleaning brushes

Preparation

Review the Art Pack: Start by familiarizing yourself with the images in the Paint-Your-Own Pack, including the source painting, line drawings, sketches, and grid.
Set Up Your Workspace: Arrange your painting area with all materials within easy reach. Ensure good lighting to see colors accurately.
Select Composition Tools: Decide whether to use the line drawing, sketches, or grid to guide your composition. The grid can help maintain accurate proportions, while the line drawing provides clear outlines.

Painting Process

1. Create the Background

Sky: Mix a bright orange with hints of yellow and apply it to the top portion of the canvas using broad, horizontal strokes. Let it fade slightly at the edges for a natural look.
Water: Use a mix of deep blues and lighter cyan hues. Start from the bottom of the canvas, applying horizontal strokes and blending smoothly with the previous layer to suggest the reflective surface of the water.

2. Outline the Harbor and Buildings

Use the Line Drawing: Trace the outlines of the buildings and boats onto your canvas using a light pencil or thin brush.
Grid Option: If using the grid, ensure each section matches the positions and proportions of the original painting.

3. Paint the Buildings

Base Colors: Apply muted tones of yellows and creams to the facades using a medium brush, allowing some areas to be more pronounced than others.
Shadows and Details: Add shadows using darker tones of brown or gray, accentuating architectural details with a finer brush.

4. Add Boats and Reflections

Boats: Use vibrant primary colors like red and white, carefully painting the boat shapes against the water.
Reflections: Mix the boat colors with a little blue and apply horizontally below the actual shapes, using swift strokes to mimic reflections in water.

5. Final Touches

Add highlights and refine edges with a fine brush to emphasize sunlight hitting various surfaces.
Revisit any shadows or areas that need more definition or depth.

Finishing Up

Step back and assess your painting. Use additional touches to balance colors or add depth. Allow your painting to dry fully before handling or displaying it. Admire your recreation of Dunbar Harbour, capturing every brushstroke and hue that brings this piece to life.
