PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES


BEGINNINGS
Draw the horizon first, do not make it too high or too low, and avoid putting it in the middle.

The bluff starts a little above the horizon. The cliff starts as a jagged line. The beach begins as a bent line. Draw a guideline straight up and down for the center of the lighthouse.

DETAILS
The top of the lighthouse is slightly arched upward. The bottom is somewhat arched downward. Draw the top first, then the bottom, use the guideline you drew to keep things even. Lastly, draw the sides- use a ruler for straight lines.  Use jagged lines to fill in the cliff. Add a few more bent lines for the waves.

Draw the light ray before filling in the sky, be careful that you don't draw over it when you fill in the clouds.

SKY
Fill up the sky with dark clouds make the sky dark but keep the light ray white. Use curvy lines for the tops of the clouds and straight lines for the bottoms. Shadow in the back of the lighthouse and the jagged cliffs keep the cliffs irregular and interesting. Make the ocean dark. The sky is darkest at the top and pales at the bottom. Leave parts of the ocean pale for the waves by the beach.
I did this drawing in 20 minutes with ink markers.  If you take your time, yours will look much better than mine.
