Painting Guide

Materials Needed

Acrylic or oil paints in colors from the provided color palette
Brushes (various sizes)
Canvas or painting paper
Pencil for sketching lines
Palette for mixing colors

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Set up your canvas and materials in a well-lit area. Ensure you have easy access to the Paint-Your-Own Pack, which includes the reference image, line drawings, sketches, and grids.

Step 2: Outline the Composition

Use the provided line drawing to sketch the key elements of the painting onto your canvas. You can use the optional grid version to help accurately place the boats, buildings, and shoreline. Transfer the major lines lightly with a pencil.

Step 3: Background First

Begin by applying a base layer for the sky using a mix of blue and white to capture the transitioning shades in the sky.
Move to the hills in the background, mixing greens and browns from your palette to reflect the natural hillsides.

Step 4: The Water

Focus on the water in the harbor. Use a range of blues, integrating lighter shades to reflect the sky and darker tones to define depth.
Incorporate reflective hints of red and orange near where the boats are mirrored in the water.

Step 5: The Boats

Proceed to the central red boats, using bold red hues. Pay attention to the shapes and shadows to give them volume and presence.
Add details like lines and angles to the boats to enhance realism.

Step 6: Foreground and Details

Focus on the finer details such as the small buildings in the background and the texture of the rocks around the harbor.
Use smaller brushes to add details and highlights, enhancing the depth and realism.

Step 7: Final Touches

Review the painting for any areas that need additional detail or refinement. Use the artist’s grid to ensure all elements are balanced. Adjust colors if needed, emphasizing contrasts and the vivid nature of the scene.

Step 8: Reflect and Enjoy

Once satisfied with your painting, allow it to dry in a safe space. Step back and admire your creation, comparing it with the source painting to appreciate your work and progress.

Enjoy the journey of bringing Lybster Harbour to life on your canvas!
