Paint the tide with buckets of texture and soft pastel colours. This painting captures moving ocean foam with rippling white texture, using just two colours to create an abstract seascape. This is great for minimalist, beachy home décor, and simple to try out yourself using Modelling Paste and Acrylics.

Make a pattern by painting scallops like this artist! Start by picking a colour palette that suits your vibe. Similar shades will create a minimalist aesthetic and earthy tones will add a boho flair! Use a rounded Palette Knife or creative tool to apply scallops of each colour line by line, repeating the colour sequence as you move down the canvas. You may want to thicken your paints with Impasto or Modelling Paste for extra definition!

Practice your hand lettering by decorating a framed canvas with an inspiring word or phrase. Add some sketches around the letters to bring it to life – in this case, dreamy graphics emphasise the meaning. You may find Acrylic Paint Pens helpful so you have extra control while writing and drawing.
