Painting sunsets can be tricky. The correct colors aren't the only thing needed for a good sky. We need to be aware of the process in which we apply them as well as the arrangement of the layers in order to achieve a brilliant glow from the sun.

In this video I show you how to paint the bright sunset sky as I begin with this painting on canvas. I show you how to blend the acrylics in the clouds, painting techniques for the glow, and how to layer the paints in this realistic landscape.

About me:
I'm an artist currently residing near Bozeman, MT. I work primarily in acrylics and oils on canvas. I paint landscapes, wildlife, and anything to do with outdoor living or Mother Nature. My work simply reflects my love for the outdoors.
