A green sea turtle swims through clear blue water, with bubbles rising by its head. Below, round pebbles sit on pale sand between tall seaweed. The shapes are big and simple, so it's a good first painting. Your paint stays inside the lines, so the water won't creep onto the turtle.

How to paint it

  1. Choose Watercolour for a soft look or Oil for a bolder one. Make the brush big and paint the water light blue. Paint the sand pale beige.
  2. Tap Texture twice and choose Water. Brush ripples over the water with Darker.
  3. Go back to your brush. Paint the pebbles soft purple, then add their shade with Darker. Paint the seaweed green.
  4. Paint the shell plates green and their rim golden yellow. Paint the flippers turquoise and the head green. Add the shade on the shell and flippers with Darker.
  5. Add the eye and mouth with the Pencil and the darkest colour. Dab a white shine on each bubble with Gouache.
