Ocean & Beach Jigsaw Puzzles: Calm by the Water

There's a reason we crave the sea. Ocean and beach scenes are calming to look at and wonderfully satisfying to piece together — all that blue is a gentle challenge that rewards patience.

What makes water puzzles special

• Soothing colour. Endless shades of blue and turquoise are relaxing on the eyes and force you to match subtle tone differences.
• Beautiful contrast. Golden sand, white foam and dark rocks give your eyes anchors among the water.
• Life below the surface. Coral reefs and marine animals add bursts of colour and detail.

How to solve a big-blue scene

Large areas of similar colour are the classic challenge — work the shapes as much as the colour, build the horizon line early, and zoom in to read the gradient from deep water to shallow.
