Today I'm painting a beginner friendly semi-abstract sunset scene using a limited palette of just 3 colors, Yellow Ochre, French vermilion, and indigo, you can use any similar colours. The idea is to try to paint a wet in wet sky as loosely as possible, aiming for a bright glow across the middle with subtle cloud effect, and then use a clever little trick to paint a perfect setting sun. Once dry, it is all finished off with silhouetted trees. It may look difficult, but it is really just a series of simple steps put together, it may take a bit of practice to get the hand og the wet in wet techniqie, but that's part of the fun!
I'm using Saunders Waterford 100% cotton cold pressed 140lb/300g weight paper, 11" x 15"/28cms x 38cms, my paper is taped to my board with ordinary decorators masking tape and is at an angle of about 45 degrees so gravity will help me paint. I use a large falt/hake brush and a small calligraphy brush, but use whichever brushes you have, a large flat and a small round will be perfect.
