The Breezy Beach Walk is the image I chose to go with and I challenged myself into coloring the sand and sea.  I was never happy with how my water coloring or sand looked until I took a refresher class with Alyce, owner of Kit & Clowder.  You can go at your own pace whenever you have time for yourself, which is rare but it encourages you to take time for yourself even if its just 10-15 mins a day.  It also helps to relieve stress.  No lies!  

I began with printing out the image below on Neenah Solar White Extra Smooth cardstock.

Here are the following Copic markers and White Pencil/Gel used:

Sunset: Y04, Y08, Y17, Y38

Mountain: E00, E11, E13, E18, E33

Lighthouse: R17, R24, White Coloring Pencil

Houses:  R14, R20, YG06, B00, B12, BV00

Sand: E00, E11, E13, E25, E42, E43, E50, E51

Sea:  BG0000, BG000, BG02, BG07, BG10, BG57, B0000, B000, B00, White Pencil/Gel pen

Grass: G14, G24, YG05

Row Boats:  C01, C02, W0, W2, E51 

Sailboats:  B12, B21, FYG1, R11

Flying seagulls, woman's shadow,  distant mountain:  

Black Multi-Liner

I added some dry moss in several areas throughout the image.  The dog and the oar is a brad.

The red canoe is also a brad laying against a wall of tiny pebbles, moss and some floral patches using Flower Soft.

Used some more moss, tiny pebbles, clams shells and snail shells.  I am really liking the way this came together, looks realistic.

* I accidentally wrote the wrong year-what was I thinking??  Pandemic?

A few more tiny pebbles along the edge of the mountain and water to make them appear as huge boulders.

The hot air balloon is also a brad.  For some reason the shadows of the sailboat look a lot darker in this photo than in the actual artwork.

The blue/white sailboat on the right is also a brad it was the perfect size for this scene.

A generous amount of Glossy Accent throughout to make the water appear wet and all the elements in or near it.

It was a lot of fun coloring this image and as I mentioned earlier, I took my time with it.  

Hope I sprinkled some inspiration your way to help get those creative juices flowing.  Leave a comment if I inspired you in any way.  😉
