Outline the mountain, and fill it in with watered down blue. Use horizontal brushmarks to get a smooth gradient. Wipe away excess paint at the bottom with water and paper towel so the blue fades out on the canvas. 
Continue with the blue on the bottom of the canvas, an inch or two. Use a wavy motion to get your ocean, and donʻt mix your blue and white solid- let them play on the canvas to create motion. 
Now weʻre adding black, leaving a little white space between the ocean and the beach. use a little white to create your grays. 
Next is green. Weʻre stipping *making little dots* above our beach, lower in the background and taller on each side of the canvas. 
Then, add a little black to your green and fill in down to the beach to create shadows under the bright green leaves. 
First layer of palm fronds in light green. See how these are crescent shapes that extend from the top of the tree trunk like flower petals? 
Add some more lines to your palm fronds, like eyelashes or a comb, to create the ʻbristlesʻ of the palm frond. 
Finish the painting with little red flowers- tiny dots of red and white made with the end of the paintbrush, not the bristles.
Now, using your smallest brush, dab tiny clusters of white and red. If you do five little dots together, youʻll have miniature Hibiscus!
