Colored pencils are ideal for the detailed palm fronds and creating smooth, subtle gradients in the sky and water. Soft pastels can be used for broad, blended effects in the sky and clouds. For adding a shimmer to water reflections, a fine-tip gel pen or glitter pen works wonders.
Start with the largest areas like the sky and water, applying light, even pressure. Choose a simple color scheme with 3-4 complementary colors for the sky and water. Color the sun and its immediate reflections first. Work from the top of the sky downwards, then tackle the water, to avoid smudging.
Utilize layered blending with 3-4 shades to create deep, vibrant gradients in the sky, transitioning from warm hues near the sun to cooler tones at the top. Employ dry brushing for subtle texture in the simplified clouds. Use cross-hatching to define the curved water reflections, giving them depth and movement. Consider applying a soft halo effect around the sun for a glowing appearance.
