To paint a sunset we brush in the brightest colors and blend the darker tones in as we work out from the bright spot. The corners of our painting should be very dark in tone and somewhere in the center area should be our brightest brights. The easy thing about painting sunsets is the vivid contrast you can have between the brilliant sky and the very dark objects in the foreground. These foreground objects need not be detailed but can remain as dark silhouettes and should be placed in the position so as to show off the better parts of the sky and can also hide any not so good parts of the sky with the silhouettes. Make sure your brush is cleaned with a dry rag before picking up paint each time and wipe it clean often while blending the sky colors, this will help in producing vibrant colors and help stop your work becoming 'muddy'. Children enjoy painting sunsets.

Thank you for inspiring me. Your videos are simple, easy to understand and right to the point. Really enjoy watching them, specially the way you explain the colours and how to use them effectively.

Please do a video on Sunset on sea with water reflection using Acrylics. I would really like to learn how to do that. Thank you
