  • 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.

    If you have any questions about something I covered or maybe something I didn't cover in this painting tutorial I am more than happy to answer.
    Materials used:
    - Golden fluid acrylics and Liquitex soft body acrylics (burnt sienna, titanium white, cad yellow light, quinacridone red, phthalo blue, napthol crimson, raw umber)
    - Stretched canvas
    - Various brushes I showed throughout the video (artist loft scrumbler, princeton round blender...)
    - No medium was used

    I know this video is 6 yrs old and I did this painting 2 yrs ago. But now, I'm gonna try it again with a bit more practice, and a bit more confidence and you are one of the best teachers, if not the best teacher that I have been following and id like to give you props in that. So thank you and hope to see more from you soon ❤❤❤❤

    I loved watching how the clouds developed from the initial blocking in. It gives me great encouragement because I have a tendency to self-talk that my paintings will never look good, its going to fail, when I'm just at the blocking in point. Sigh.
    Another great video, Chuck. Thank you. Looking forward to Part 2. Foregrounds are hard for me.

      Linda Cook i struggle with that too, there was this lady who started pioneering artistic photographing back in the day. she was hugely successful but a lot of her photos had smudges, lens imperfections. but thats what made it hers and so successful!!
      its a process over time with painting, and theres no need to worry because its only finished when you say it is, everything can always be altered, im sure your art is lovely xxx

    I like how you discuss the techniques going into the paint mixing. I agree that its just easier to paint in acrylic once you get a hang of the blending to work in the paint. Very nice work on the intense chroma. Thanks for sharing!

    THIS WAS SO HELPFUL. My colors got muddled (the blending is what gave me trouble) and I hated the end result of my sunset. Thank you for making this video. I learned a few more tips for myself and figured out where I went wrong in my own painting. I went back to my painting and fixed it thank you! Also, your art is stunning!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this video. I have been searching for weeks for such a detailed video on painting an Acrylic Sunset. But, aren't colors just amazing, though ?! With every color you added after painting - in the sun area, it made the sun's glow *POP OUT* that much more. Your finished painting looks like it's actually an electrified project. It is so very beautiful !!! Thank You bunches !!!
