I recommend practicing on a separate piece of paper first! Follow my chalk drawings below. Next I did the flamingos!!! I drew these all out with chalk first. This is just a tiny white line on the left side of each light. I added white highlight to the lights as well. The lights are connected to the string line by just a small black line (light socket). To make the red lights show up, I mixed red & white together. (deep green permanent, cobalt blue, primary yellow, cadmium red medium mixed with white) They are simply a tiny oval shape not touching the line. Then I used a tiny #10/0 liner brush to paint the line for the lights. I painted the second palm tree the same way. This will make the palm tree “pop” a bit more because of the dark background.

Go all the way down until there is about 2 inches of space left on the bottom of the canvas.ĥ. Next I painted the water horizontally with cobalt blue and a 3/4″ Wash Flat Brush. Don’t worry about the reflection in the water yet. You can ALSO use a tooth brush for splattering stars in the sky. You’ll get tiny dots of splatter paint on the sky. I used a smaller flat brush, watered down white paint and I “flicked” the brush for the stars. I went all the way down to where the horizon line will be (which is 7 inches up from the bottom). Then I cleaned the brush again and added Cadmium Red Medium. I blended that magenta in with the deep violet and continued down the canvas. Then I rinsed my brush and added Quinacridone Magenta on the tip of the brush. My strokes did not stay completely horizontal. I painted about six inches down with this color. Then I rinsed off my brush and loaded the tip of it with deep violet. I used a 3/4″ flat brush and painted the very top of my canvas with mars black (about a half inch).
