Red Kayak on a Gravel Beach

The red kayak has been pulled above the waterline, leaving wet gravel beneath its bow. A black paddle crosses the cockpit, and a folded spray skirt rests beside the seat. Clear teal water reaches a low wooded shore where driftwood lies in a thin line.

The kayak's long edge is a useful first shape, but its curved bow changes the piece sizes quickly. Paddle blades have broad, solid outlines that contrast with the small stones. Look for darker wet patches where the water has reached the beach. They create narrow bands between the boat and the lake, helping place the lower edge without guessing from color alone.
