Preparation of coloring tools to paint realistic beach coloring pages

To make your realistic beach coloring pages, it’s essential to have the right coloring tools. Here are some of my suggestions on preparing coloring supplies.

  • Colored Pencils: You can use colored pencils for fine details and smooth shading. For example, when you want to create gradients, like the blue of the ocean or the golden sand.
  • Markers: Markers provide bright, bold colors for the sky, ocean, and sun. They work well for covering large areas quickly.
  • Crayons: Younger children should use crayons. Because with crayons, they can easily fill in the spaces with vibrant colors and add texture.
  • Watercolors or Paints: If you want a more artistic approach, try using watercolor paints. Watercolors are the best choice to create a soft, blended effect on the sky and water.
  • Chalk Pastels: Chalk pastels are ideal for creating soft, blended effects. They work particularly well for shading the sky, water, or sand.
  • Blending stumps: To achieve smooth transitions, use blending stumps to blend colored pencils, pastels, or other materials seamlessly. This is perfect for creating smooth transitions between water, sand, and sky.

Make sure you have all your coloring tools ready before you start painting your summer beach coloring pages. These tools will help you bring your beach scenes to life with realistic textures and smooth gradients.

How to color different elements in the beach coloring pages

If it is the first time you paint a beach coloring page, don’t worry because I will guide you to paint each element. However, I only share my experience, you don’t need to stick to them. Refer to my advice and let your creativity soar to create a unique coloring page.  

How to paint a sandy beach 

Sand is an important part in any beach coloring pages. So let’s warm up by learning how to make your sand more realistic. 

First, you color the main part of your beach a light brown or beige. This is the basic color of the sand. To make it look more real, you can add darker brown around the edges, especially where the ocean meets the sand. 

You can use chalk pastels to blend the colors and make it look smooth. Next, let’s add some wet sand. You use a darker brown or even gray to paint streaks where the waves hit the shore. The final step is to use a blending stump or tissue to soften the edges and make it look natural.

Now you have a beautiful sandy beach.

How to color waves and water

Do you find it hard when coloring waves and water in the beach coloring pages? I mean how to make them sparkle under the sunlights and look real? I will show you the way I use to color waves and water, you can refer to it. 

For the water, I grab a light blue crayon and start by filling in the waves. Then, I add darker blue and green towards the bottom for that cool, deep ocean look. 

If you want to make it look like the waves are crashing, use a bit of white for the foam. You can even use chalk pastels to make the water look soft and glowing. 

To make everything blend together smoothly, a blending stump or tissue is your best friend. You just gently rub it on the colors to mix them all together. It’ll give your waves a smooth, realistic flow.

How to color the Sun

The sun can be the brightest part of your beach coloring pages. To be safer, I suggest you to start with a bright yellow for the center of the sun. Then you gently blend it out with orange around the edges for a warm, glowing effect. 

If you’re coloring a sunset or sunrise scene, use reds, pinks, and purples around the edges for a more dramatic look. You can use blending techniques to smooth the transition between the colors of the sun and the sky. 

How to paint a palm tree

In almost all beach coloring pages, you can find palm trees here. If you want to paint the palm tree with its real colors, you can refer to my method.  

For the trunk of the tree, I use a light brown or beige. After that, I will add dark brown along the sides to give it some texture and depth. 

A secret tip to make it more realistic is to draw horizontal lines along the trunk. For the palm fronds, I go with dark green or olive green, and add a little light green at the tips for a nice sunlit touch. 

Want to make it pop? Let’s mix different shades of green to make the leaves look more realistic. If you want, add a bit of yellow or brown to the areas where the leaves would be shaded. This will make the leaves look more 3D. 

You’re basically making a tropical paradise!

How to color the beach background 

Now, we come to the last element – sky. It is so important to complete your masterpiece perfectly. As you usually see in any beach coloring pages, I choose light blue for the sky. 

But it is not the end, I gradually make it darker towards the horizon using navy blue or midnight blue. For a fun sunset, I mix in pinks, purples, and oranges around where the sun is setting. 

For the cloud, I just use white or light gray and gently rub them in with a tissue for a fluffy look. It seems easy but it works well. You’ll feel like you’re right there on the beach.

3 ways to customize your beach coloring pages

If you don’t add personal touch, your beach coloring sheets may look similar to any other people. You don’t want that thing to happen, right? So I will share with you some ways I use to customize my pictures. 

  • Use Real Sand: For an added touch of realism, you can glue a bit of real sand onto the beach areas. This will create a textured, three-dimensional effect that mimics the real beach. 
  • Create 3D Effects: Use materials like foam stickers or cotton balls to create 3D effects on elements like clouds or waves. 
  • Add Beach Finds: You can gather small objects like shells, small pebbles, or tiny starfish. Then, you glue them to your cute coloring pages of the beach. These little beach finds will give your scene a unique and interactive twist.
  • Draw your favorite patterns: You can draw fishes, trees, flowers… to coloring pages to make it unique. In case, you want to learn how to draw and color a whale, you can watch the video I attached. 

Craft ideas to do with finished beach coloring pages

Coloring beach coloring pages are not only fun activities but also can become great craft. 

These are some craft ideas that will help to turn beach coloring pages into meaningful keepsakes or decorations. 

Create a beach poster

First idea is to transform your finished beach coloring pages into vibrant, tropical posters. I believe it will add a fun and sunny vibe to your room.

This is they way you can do it: 

  • Once you’ve colored your pages, carefully cut them to fit a large poster board or frame.
  • If you want to add a little extra flair, use some glitter or stick-on jewels for a sparkling effect.
  • You mount the page on a colorful poster board that complements your beach scene, like light blue for the ocean.
  • If you want to hang it without a frame, attach some string or ribbon to the top and use clothespins to secure it. This can make for an easy, creative display!

Make beach-themed Greeting Cards

In the summertime, if you want family or friends gathering, you can make greeting beach-themed cards. With some simple steps, you can own personalized greeting cards. 

First of all, you need to cut your colored beach scenes to fit the size of a standard greeting card. The size is varied but I usually make a card that is around 5×7 inches.

Then, you paste your colored page on the front of the card. If you’re sending it as a birthday card, add a cheerful “Happy Birthday” or “Summer Wishes” message using markers or stamps.

To make it extra special, add a few embellishments like seashell stickers, sand, or a tiny paper cut-out of a surfboard. 

For extra creativity, make matching envelopes by coloring plain envelopes with light shades of blue or yellow. Yeah, you guessed it right, it mimics the beach scene on your card.

Create a beach-themed scrapbook

Your beach coloring pages can help you build a beautiful scrapbook full of memories from past summer adventures. These are 4 steps to make a scrapbook: 

  • Step 1: You glue colored pages onto scrapbook pages. You can organize your scrapbook by the different elements of the beach, like sunsets, beach waves, and palm trees.
  • Step 2: Add fun details to your pages by writing captions or quotes from your beach trips. For example: “Relaxing by the ocean” or “The sound of the waves is my favorite melody.”
  • Step 3: Free decorate the scrapbook with accessories like seashells, sand, or beach-themed stickers. 
  • Step 4: You can also use other craft supplies like washi tape, ribbons, and buttons to frame your coloring pages.
