Introduction
Over a vast body of water, a sunset scenery takes on a whole new look. The colors, the ambience, and the overall appeal of the scenery makes you want to stop time, and experience the gracefulness of the moment for eternity. The other way to do this is by painting a sunset over water, something I’ve gotten really good at, thanks to a few tutorials.
In order to paint sunset over water, you need to ensure three things. The first is the color of the sky. The second is the color or reflection on the water. And the third, is the ambience and serenity of the scenery, which can be guaranteed if you’re using the proper shades, and color blends.
Simple Sunset over a Seascape
Creating the illusion of a beautiful sunset over sea waters has never been made to look easier. This painting does a good job in highlighting the shades and colors you get to see during the setting of the sun over the sea. The painting lacks depth, but makes up for it with its simple, and easy to understand blending techniques. It may be a simple painting, but it still looks really nice.
