Painting a Cottage Beneath a Glowing Sunset

I painted this countryside sunset on an 11 × 14-inch canvas using acrylic paints. A winding path leads through golden fields toward a small cottage beneath an orange and pink sky. The challenge here is keeping the sunset bright while balancing its warm colors with the violet hills and greens in the landscape. With my palette visible, you can watch me mix the paints and see how those mixtures look when I apply them to the canvas. Watch the scene take shape through the brushwork. Enjoy the painting process, or paint along with me at your own pace.
