As you look at the page, you will see a weathered wooden dock extending out into the lake. Three children are captured in different poses as they jump, showing lots of movement and excitement. Below them, the water ripples with small waves, waiting for the big splash.

In the background, a thick shoreline is lined with various trees and bushes, creating a sense of being deep in nature. The forest reaches right down to the edge of the water, where small rocks and grass meet the lake. Each child wears different swimwear, giving you plenty of chances to use your favorite bright colors for their outfits.

Start by choosing a few shades of blue and teal for the water to give it depth and movement. You might use lighter strokes near the dock and darker ones further away. For the wooden dock, different shades of brown and tan will help it look like real wood. You can even add small lines to show the grain of the planks.

The forest in the background looks best with several shades of green. Mixing light lime greens with deeper forest greens makes the bushes and trees look much more realistic. Don't forget to give the children's outfits some personality with bold patterns or neon colors that stand out against the natural scenery.
