New painting: Sunset Melody
This new painting ‘Sunset Melody’ is part of my latest collection and can be seen on my ‘Affordable Art’ page.
It is the next in a series of beautiful sunsets in my semi-abstract style. I love the touches of orange, deep red and rusty tones in the sky and the touch of white shining through the clouds as the evening light takes hold.
I used a fine brush to create the touches of detail on the horizon and then added different colours to emulate the sunset creating shadows in the foreground.
There is a simplicity of colour in the limited palette.

Quite often these smaller studies are created using leftover paint after finishing a larger canvas so sometimes I find it challenging but satisfying to use the limited palette and its surprising how many different tones can be made using very few colours.
