Hello dear friends, I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I hope you are all well. Today, I want to take part in the new contest of the month inspired by tropical beaches and islands. I have to say that this has been one of my favorite themes, as I love the sea and everything to do with beaches. I was inspired by a design inspired by a sunset at sea surrounded by palm trees. Before continuing, I invite my friends 
Materials I used:
-Paints
-Paintbrush
-Tile
-Seashells
-Stones
Here are the steps to follow:
We will start by making some pencil divisions on the tile, part of the design to be made, so I will know the limits for each space between the sea, sand, sky, and rock. This is a draft that we will make before continuing to paint.
Next, we will continue painting and bringing our painting to life. First, we will start by painting the sea with reflections of waves, using shades of dark blue, light blue, black, and white. Later, in one corner, I will paint a mountain in black because the reflection of the sun makes it look that way.
Then I continue retouching the sea with yellow paint and more white so that it reflects the sunset on the sea. We draw a line and come down, blending between yellow and white. At the bottom, I use yellow, brown, and red to paint the sand.
Then we continue painting the sky, which is bright, using several shades since the sunset reflects beautiful colors. I used black at the top, dark blue, light blue below, and reflections with white. Likewise, with yellow and red, I blended and mixed both shades to create the reflection of the sun. In the center, I drew a sun setting in the evening and the silhouette of some clouds around it.
Next, I continued by drawing three coconut palms in a corner of the sand. I made them tall and thin with brown and black. For their leaves, I used yellow, green, and black for retouching, as they look a little dark because the reflection of the sun makes them look that way. At the bottom, I drew some small bushes with black, thus finishing our painting.
Once I had finished my painting inspired by the beach and the waves, I continued by sticking some seashells and stones that I had collected at the bottom, in one corner of the tile, to reflect the sea even more, thus finishing my creation.
This is the final result of my beautiful artistic creation, inspired by the beach and a sunset. I hope it inspires you and that you can recreate it at home.
