A few clues to get started

Explore nature, landscape, sky. Look for these features as you bring the picture together:

• If water meets land or sky, build that boundary first. Treat reflections as a separate area: similar colors can appear on both sides of the shoreline without being neighboring pieces.
• Use the boundary between light and shadow to organize sandy areas. Follow any visible dune or rock outline before filling broad regions of similar color.
• Sort open sky by brightness and color temperature. If clouds are present, follow their edges first and save smooth areas for when surrounding clusters are in place.
