What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layering: Create depth in the ocean by layering different shades of blue. Use lighter pressure for distant waves and heavier strokes for the water crashing against the cliff.
• Texture: Use small, circular strokes for the rocky cliff to suggest roughness and short, directional lines for the grass to mimic its growth.
• Focus Point: Consider making the lighthouse lantern the brightest point on the page to draw the eye and symbolize its guiding light.
• Embrace Imperfection: Let go of precision. The goal is the process, not a perfect result. Allow colors to blend and flow naturally.
