Paintbrushes (varied sizes)
Acrylic paints (or oil paints if preferred)

Using the Line Drawings and Artists Grid

The line drawings and grids provided in the Paint-Your-Own Pack are designed to assist with composition accuracy. Start by transferring the grid to your canvas using a light pencil. This grid will act as a guide to help you place key elements accurately. The line drawings can serve as either a reference or a stencil that assists in outlining major components such as the boats, houses, and horizon.

Painting Steps

Sketch the Composition:
- Lightly sketch the main elements on your canvas using the grid and line drawing as a guide.
- Focus on the prominent shapes such as the boats, houses, and the horizon.
Block in the Sky:
- Mix varying shades of blue and grey to create a dynamic sky.
- Use broad brushstrokes to capture the movement of clouds.
- Leave some areas lighter to represent breaks in the cloud where sunlight peeks through.
Paint the Horizon:
- Apply deep greens, yellows, and some earthy browns to define the distant landscape.
- Use horizontal strokes to maintain the flat land’s appearance.
Add the Houses:
- Paint the houses using a mix of whites, greys, and highlight with vivid colors like orange and red to show light reflected from the sun and cultural vividness.
- Focus on the shapes and color contrasts between roofs and walls.
Detail the Boats:
- Use brighter blues, crisp whites, and hints of orange to paint the boats.
- Emphasize the contrasting colors with bold strokes for definition.
- Pay attention to shadows beneath the boats in the water.
Refine the Water:
- Apply a mix of blues and greens for the water; use fluid horizontal strokes to suggest reflection and depth.
- Add highlights and reflections of the boats and houses.
Add Final Details:
- Refine the edges of the boats and houses, adding any missing details.
- Use a fine brush to add rigging lines on the boats.
- Adjust colors and lighting to ensure harmony and balance throughout the painting.

This painting journey through St Abba's Harbour is designed to provide you with both guidance and creative freedom. The structured steps are here to help replicate the scene while encouraging personal interpretation and style. Enjoy the process and feel the inspiration of a breathtaking Scottish seascape come to life on your canvas.
