Tides

Sketch the basic composition, dividing the canvas into horizontal sections for sky, abstract shapes, water, and land.

Block in the sky with light blue and white, blending to create cloud effects. Add darker blues for the upper sky.

Paint the moon with a light gray wash, adding subtle texture with dry brushing.

Fill in the abstract shapes section with a mix of browns, blues, and oranges, creating a collage-like effect.

Paint the water section with varying shades of blue, adding white wavy lines for texture.

Create the land section with a base of orange and yellow, blending to create a sandy texture.

Add a green and brown strip to separate the water and land.

Paint the dark blue sphere in the foreground, adding swirling light blue lines for detail.
