As you look at the center of the page, you will find a brave surfer balancing on a sleek surfboard while catching a ride on a giant, curling wave. Tiny fish leap through the water nearby, while a large whale peeks out from the deeper ocean. In the distance, a peaceful sailboat glides past a rocky cliff topped with a sturdy lighthouse.

On the sandy shore, a beach umbrella shades a carefully built sandcastle. Tall palm trees frame the edge of the beach, their leaves reaching toward a sky filled with fluffy clouds and soaring birds. The bright sun sits high above, casting light over every detail from the crashing surf to the distant horizon.

To make the big wave look powerful, try using different shades of blue and teal. You can leave the very top of the wave white or use a very light blue to show the sea foam. For the surfer’s board, bright neon colors like orange or lime green will make it stand out against the water.

The lighthouse and sailboat look great with classic red and white stripes. When coloring the sand, a light tan or golden yellow works perfectly, and you can add small dots with a brown marker to create a sandy texture. Don't forget to use vibrant greens for the palm trees and a warm, glowing yellow for the sun to give the whole scene a cheerful summer feel.
