This tutorial includes a traceable of the lighthouse. I will show you how to set up the rest of the seascape behind this lighthouse – and it is so easy!
Note: The Phthalo Turquoise I used was a Hobby Lobby Brand. You can use any dark turquoise color or mix Phthalo Blue with Bright Aqua Green. The rest of the colors I used were Liquitex BASICS.
I commonly get asked which craft paint colors would work, specifically they very popular Apple Barrels Paints. If you are using Apple Barrels, here are my suggestions:

While these are the brushes/ tools I used, you do not have to use these exact ones and can even use different sizes depending on what you have on hand.
You can grab the PDF for this over in my traceable library. If you are working on an 11×14 canvas, this traceable prints on two sheets of standard size computer paper that you will tape together. I recommend tracing the lighthouse after the sky, ocean and ground is painted.
Use masking tape to mark your horizon line. I measured mine from the top of the canvas to the horizon line – approximately nine inches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Start at the top with light blue permanent. Paint left and right horizontal strokes about a third of the way down the sky.
Blend this titanium white with the blue so the color in the sky gets gradually lighter as you work your way down to the horizon line.
Keep adding more titanium white and paint all the way to the bottom of the horizon line. Your blue should be very light, almost white by the time you get to the horizon.

If necessary, you may need to add a little more light blue permanent but for the most part it should be mostly white.
Gently remove your masking tape. If you want you can apply the masking tape above the horizon line to get a crisp line for the water, however, you may risk pulling off some of the paint with the tape.
See image below for the exact dimensions – my line started about 3.5” from the bottom on the left and dipped down to 2” on the right.

Use your 3/4 Wash Brush to paint a *phthalo turquoise line just under the horizon line. Use the tip of your brush to get the horizontal line.
*If you don’t have phthalo turquoise, mix a little bit of phthalo blue with bright aqua green or use any dark turquoise color you have on hand.
Next load your brush in bright aqua green (without rinsing the turquoise off). Paint almost all the way to your sand line. The dark turquoise will blend with the aqua.

Then load your brush in white (without rinsing). Continue to paint down to your sand line, blending the white with the rest of the aqua.
Completely rinse your 3/4 Wash Brush and pat it dry. Then paint the sand from the curved line to the ground with the color unbleached titanium.
Go almost all the way down with this unbleached titanium then add a little bit of burnt umber into it. Just a tiny bit!

To do the lines in the water, I used a palette knife (#1). If you do not have a palette knife, you can use a tiny round brush or even a flat brush.
Simply load the side edge of the knife with white and scrape on white horizontal lines in the water. The lines closer to the sand are longer & thicker. The lines further away are thinner, smaller.
This was entirely experimental for me! I decided to try the clouds using cotton and I found it rather successful because the cotton is very soft, creating the soft look of the clouds.

I recommend practicing it elsewhere before tackling it on your canvas. If you don’t like the cotton, you can use any soft round brush or a filbert.
Dip your cotton in a little bit of titanium white. Don’t over load it! Just a little bit will do. In fact, I recommend removing some of the paint after you dip it to ensure only a little bit is on there.
Continue to form the cloud shape using the cotton. Remember that only a little white is needed on the cotton so the white is not that strong in the sky. It should be very light.

Continue to form very light, subtle clouds all on the bottom. These will be lighter because the sky is already a lighter color in this area.
Then I did one more cloud in the upper left. Essentially there is a bit more white on the top tips of the clouds and then if fades away towards the bottom.
Place a sheet of graphite paper underneath the traceable (shiny side down). Then place the lighthouse so that it lines up with the bottom of the canvas and is on the far left.

The masking tape will really help to define the lighthouse shape when painting the stripes. Mask off the edges of the lighthouse.
Use your 3/4 wash brush for the larger areas and 4 round brush for the smaller areas. Paint the white stripes on the lighthouse. Do so in a sort of curved direction.
When you dry brush, you load it in the paint and then wipe it off so only a little bit of paint is on our brush.

Ideally, you’ll want to wait for the paint to dry but I did not do this. Gently peel the tape off to reveal the lighthouse.
Use your 4 round brush and white to paint white lines on the top of the curves and to the left of the small circle on top as well as on the lines.
It is helpful to look at a reference photos for these birds and I am providing you with one below. Observe the formation of their wings, how smaller ones look in the distance and the shape of the bodies for the larger ones. Observe also how they are different shades of gray and white and black.

To paint the birds, I use titanium white and mars black. I mixed a shade of medium gray on my palette and used my round brush.
For the sea grass, I used a fan brush as well as the 4 round brush. I also used the colors: deep green permanent, titanium white, mars black and burnt umber.
Use the fan brush and green + brown to stroke up. Create the base of the sea grass at the bottom of the canvas & overlapping then lighthouse.

Then take your fan brush and brush the base of this sea grass. Use the full width of the brush and stroke up to create the grass.
Next paint some taller grass with the 4 round brush. Use different amounts of the brown & green. You may also add some black and white to this mixture.
Paint some of the tips of the grass with a mixture of white and brown. Make some taller strands that go from the bottom to overlapping some of the water. Tall strands are also overlapping the lighthouse.
