When summer finally shows up, a beach day with friends feels like the plan everyone has been talking about in the group chat finally happening. This beach page brings that easy summer mood into one scene, and these Cozy Friends color palette ideas will help you keep the whole page bright, simple, and full of summer energy.Β
Sand & WaterΒ
The sand and water are perfect for practicing your alcohol marker blending!
Start with a warm sandy tan for the beach, then lightly layer a slightly darker tan near the objects and add a few tiny dots for a sandy texture. For the water, blend from a deeper blue into a soft teal near the shore, so the cool ocean colors stand out against the warm sand.Β
Beach Toys & AccessoriesΒ
To make these little beach goodies stand out, you can go with bold and punchy colors for the cooler and sand toys. Adding a soft, light gray shadow underneath each item will give them instant depth, making them look like theyβre sitting right on top of the warm sand.Β
Beach BuddiesΒ
Since the beach scene is filled with warm sand and bright summer details, the little beach buddies can be the main focus of the page. Soft greens, warm browns, and playful pops of pink and blue help each character stand out while keeping the whole scene feeling cheerful and relaxed.Β
