Continue to blend the blue and the white so the blue is lightest along the horizon and darker at the top. Try not to get any white at the top of the sky so that it stays a little darker.

Painting Materials
For this lesson, the paint we are going to be using are: titanium white, brilliant blue, and phthalo green.
The brushes that we are going to use are: a house painter’s brush (a large blush for covering big areas), a medium flat bristle acrylic brush, and a palette knife.
Step #1 – Establish Horizon Line & Paint In Sky & Clouds
The first step is to establish a horizon line with your pencil. In this case, we placed the horizon line 12 inches down from the top on a 20 inches tall canvas.
Next, we are going to fill in the sky with a light blue color. To mix the paint, use a mixture of a lot of white paint, a little bit of blue, and some water.
Then use the big painter’s blush and fill in the sky. Leave some negative space in your sky to take the place of clouds.
Step #2 – Paint In Ocean
Next, mix a little bit of green into our light blue paint because tropical oceans have a hint of green in it.
Then using horizontal brush strokes, fill in the ocean area. Let the lines that your brush naturally make add some texture to the ocean.
Also, use some diagonal back-and-forth brush strokes to create from texture at the bottom of the ocean. This will represents the waves crashing into the shore.
Paint High Clouds
These clouds are optional. If you’ve not done clouds like this before, I recommend that you practice first. You can also leave your sky without them if you just want a clear blue sky!
I used a fan brush for these clouds. The trick is to only load a very small amount of white on your brush! Then wipe the paint off so there’s hardly any on it. Then dry brush your clouds. The paint should be very very thin, scratchy and barely skid on the canvas surface.
“Skid” the brush on the surface of the canvas going in different angles and directions.
Towards the bottom, I did clouds going in a horizontal direction using the tip of my brush.
You can also gently tap the tip of the brush to create “cirrocumulus” clouds. I did this in the upper left area of the sky.
Paint Water Reflection
Also optional! If you want your sun to be reflecting on the water to make it sort of “sparkle”, use your round brush to make very tic-marks just below the horizon line under the sun.
The water reflections lines must be small, almost a dot, way in the distance. You can make them slightly longer further down the canvas.
Add Optional Sand Texture
For the sand texture, I decided to experiment with “Snow-Tex”. This is a product by DecoArt that I like to use in some of my winter paintings to add snow “tactile texture”. It applies to the canvas like a paste and dries/sticks onto the canvas. It feels like sand but dries white. The white can, however, be painted over.
You can apply the sand texture using a palette knife, paint brush or even your fingers! I used my fingers to spread the texture just in the sand area.
It will show up white but when this dries, it can be painted over.
Then use your 3/4″ flat wash brush, unbleached titanium and a little bit of burnt umber to paint over the sand area using the same technique you used in the earlier step to paint it. I added a little bit more brown to the sand this time around and did some short, textured strokes.
If you want to add real seashells to this, you can use just about any glue to make them stick. A glue gun would probably be the quickest way to add them!
