Palmetto Palm Over a Sunrise

Two steps!

Using Derwent Inktense Blocks, paint yourself a lovely sunrise gradient and let it dry. When you're ready for the second step, simply use a small round brush to depict a nice palm tree silhouetted over that gorgeous sunrise.

PRO TIPS:

1. When you're painting the gradient, use a lot of water to encourage an even blend from color to color.
   2. Many, many light brush strokes with a large flat brush will encourage better blending, especially as the page turns from wet to damp. Do not press too hard with the brush because you don't want to wear down your paper!
   3. Instead of using Derwent Inketnse blocks for the palm tree, feel free to use a Sharpie or 08 Micron instead.
   4. For extra credit, perhaps you'd like to suggest boats on the water, coconuts on the tree, or any other subtle beach-y thing you'd like to note!
