Of course, I needed a bit of help in painting lighthouses, which is why I helped myself to some amazing tutorials on how to paint a lighthouse.
To paint a lighthouse, you first start with a background, and then decide on the time of the day. Next, you prepare your setting, and then work on the building itself. Afterwards, you can go on to add other elements in your painting, like houses or trees or anything else that you find necessary. Finally, you finish things off by adding necessary details.
