Barques

Sketch the basic shapes and composition lightly onto the canvas, paying attention to the placement of the boats, buildings, and figures.

Block in the large areas of color: sky, sea, and the ground, using thin washes.

Paint the buildings and boats with flat, even tones of black and dark gray, defining their shapes.

Add details to the buildings, such as windows and doors, using lighter shades of yellow and brown.

Paint the figures with simplified shapes and colors, using yellow, blue, and white.

Add the smaller boats and details like the fishing net and seagull.

Refine the edges of the shapes and add any final details.

Let dry and add a varnish for protection.
