Finished Painting

This ‘paint along’ style demo is around 5 hours long allowing you to work from beginning to end with me on a serene sunset.
In this piece I wanted to focus on creating interesting silhouettes. I talk a lot about the tonal values, but also how to add more life to your darkest areas. It’s easy for silhouettes to look a bit flat so I hope I can give you some useful tips throughout this piece and help you make the best of your sunset reference images.
You’re welcome to have a go at this one using my reference download below. But this tutorial is really aimed at giving you the tools and techniques for you to apply in your reference own images.
