It's fun to explore a quick ink and watercolor sunset north of Parkville in the rolling hills of this farm! I seldom choose watercolor for a sunset, opting most often for my oils, where layering of paint is quick and thick. Watercolor is a completely different medium to approach the sunset with. Reserving my lights, and working on the landscape until the actual light appears that I want to capture, leaves the sky for the very last. With a few strokes and adding more color in wet on wet, I am finished, and the sunset is fading. This is such a peaceful place for such a scene. I hope to get my own hay bales painted while they lay in the field! Painting number 4367 in 4367 days.
