A cove where the water shifts from pale glass over the sandbar to deep teal at the horizon, palms leaning in from the left, one white sail out where the bands meet. Water is the reason to make this scene in drills: the sea is drawn as three honest flat bands, and the shift between them — the exact thing phone photos flatten — becomes three crisp color changes your eye reads as depth. White surf lines trace the band edges in single-drill runs, tidy and quick, like piping on a cake. The palms’ fronds are bold blade shapes, not feathered fronds, so they stay graphic against the sky, and the cream sand foreground is the set’s most generous warm fill. The one sailboat is eleven drills of pure charm; place it last and call the whole thing done. It finishes as window-substitute art — the canvas people position across from their desk specifically to look at in February.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 106×106 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

15 DMC colors over 11,236 drills is a mid-complexity build — enough palette changes to stay interesting, not enough to feel like admin. The workload skews blue: 3 of the 15 colors are blue steps, covering 30% of the canvas, with DMC 799 alone accounting for 17% (1,961 drills). No confetti colors: every DMC in the tray covers at least 1% of the canvas, which keeps every bag genuinely in play.

Chart-true by construction
The mockup above is rendered drill-by-drill from the finished chart (11,236 cells,
15 colors — the exact numbers in the tables), using the deterministic pipeline
that processes every Pixelmade order: saliency-weighted DMC selection, nearest-color
mapping, no dithering. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
