The path to the lighthouse

A winding stone path follows a flowering cliff toward a lighthouse and cottage. Two sailboats cross the distant water while roof tiles, railings and flowers provide smaller details in front.

How much detail?

Near flowers, path stones and cottage tiles are small; the sea and sky provide wider areas. About the labels.

Try this palette: A coastal afternoon

Use stronger flower colors in the foreground and lighter sea colors near the horizon.

A small coloring tip

A sharp pencil helps with flowers and roof tiles; the side of a pencil suits the sea.

Choose a repeating stripe color for the lighthouse tower.
