Colored pencils are perfect for adding texture to the weathered door and subtle gradients in the sky and ocean. Fine-tip markers or gel pens can enhance the details of the plants, window frames, and seashells. For larger areas like the sky, brush markers create smooth, even coverage.
Start with the sky and ocean, using broad, even strokes. Outline the main cottage structure before filling it in to stay within lines. Use one consistent shade per plant for simplicity. Take breaks to prevent hand fatigue and enjoy the process.
Create a distressed wood effect on the cottage door using cross-hatching and varying pressure. Add shadows and highlights to the potted plants for realistic depth and volume. Use stippling or circular motions for the sand texture on the beach. Experiment with color layering in the ocean for a sense of movement.

A charming seaside cottage stands centered, with a small, weathered wooden door slightly ajar, revealing a hint of interior. Three potted plants, varying in size and foliage, are arranged neatly on the stone steps leading to the door. Two narrow, rectangular windows, each with simple panes, flank the door. A gently sloping, shingled roof features a small, functional chimney. Behind the cottage, soft rolling hills meet a calm expanse of ocean, with a few distant sailboats visible on the horizon. A sandy beach with scattered seashells occupies the foreground.
