In the center of the page, a comfortable beach chair sits under the shade of a large, striped umbrella. The umbrella has thick sections that are perfect for alternating your favorite bright colors. To the side, a small bucket sits in the sand, perhaps ready for a trip to the water's edge to collect some sea water. A five-pointed starfish rests nearby, adding a touch of sea life to the shoreline.

In the distance, curved lines represent the gentle movement of the ocean waves as they meet the horizon. Above the water, a few simple clouds drift across the sky, leaving plenty of room to add a bright sun or even some flying seagulls. Every element on the page, from the texture of the sand to the folds in the chair, is designed with clear lines to make coloring easy and enjoyable.

To make the sand look realistic, try using a light tan or beige color and then add tiny dots with a slightly darker brown marker to represent individual grains. The ocean waves look beautiful when you use different shades of blue, like a light sky blue near the top and a deeper turquoise closer to the shore. For the beach umbrella, you might choose two contrasting colors like yellow and red to make it pop against the blue sky.

The starfish can be a bright orange or pink to stand out on the sand. If you want to add a special touch, use a white crayon or gel pen to add highlights to the water where the waves are breaking. Using colored pencils can help you create soft gradients in the sky, blending light blue into a soft white near the clouds.
