Seaside Escape

I’ve done a few paint kits before but this aerial beach view is something else—the way the umbrella shadows and shoreline curve are laid out makes the waves practically jump off the canvas. It took me two relaxed afternoons to finish, and the colors mixed beautifully for that sun-bleached sand look.

The umbrella-dotted beach scene really pops once you get going, and the aerial perspective keeps it interesting from start to finish. Finished it in one relaxing afternoon and it’s now hanging in my living room.

The aerial view is such a fun twist on the usual beach scene—it feels like you're looking down from a drone. The umbrella placement gives you a great guide for shading, and honestly, the colors are so calming I lost track of time painting.
