Jake and his friends are spending the day at the beach, ready to explore their beautiful surroundings. Jake stands tall, binoculars in hand, gazing up into the vast sky. His friends stand awestruck and wide-eyed, one holding a stick almost as tall as him. On the distant horizon, a large ship sails the open waters, its sails billowing in the breeze.
If you were to color this scene, light blues and sandy yellows would be your ideal palette. Lightly fill in the sky in pale blues that get darker at the edges, making the sky appear almost as if it were infinite. Fill the background with bright yellows and golds to bring out the sandy beach and the trees in the forest behind them. Fill in the sails of the distant ship with a bright white, and bring out the intricate details with blacks and dark blues. Finish by using a lighter yellow for Jake and his friends, or perhaps give them each a unique color that adds a pop of personality.
