Sunlit Coastal Cove

All starter scenes · Original project background

Pale limestone cliffs, clear shallows, and a sweeping sandy beach.

Leave room for the water

Use the coastline as a guide for your composition. Put buildings or plants on the land rather than across the open shallows, and keep the horizon visible.

A small exercise

A single foreground object can provide scale without hiding the beach. Reduce its size until the coastline is still easy to follow.

Make it your own

The landscape is a single background image. Open it in the editor to add movable trees, buildings, animals, and other details. Opening this starter does not replace your browser save until you choose Save.
