This is absolutely lovely - it's so bright and charming, and the use of coloured pencils as the medium is perfect for this piece. I adore how happy they look, how content and cheerful - it's really befitting of the glorious setting. And the tartan rug, picnic basket and intricate little details like the vivid blue flip flops and painted toes are all wonderful additions.

This made me smile as soon as I saw it, it's really lovely and warming. Thank you!

Thank you! Some pieces work equally well in black and white or color, but I really thought color was necessary here to truly give them the feel of being by the sea. It made it feel so much warmer, too. I'm so glad you liked it! :D
