Description
There was an amazing, crazy storm one late afternoon. As soon as it passed (when it was safe to go outside again) I snapped a photo of it. From there I decided to paint this sunset. The colors were just too amazing to not paint! I got out my oils and a nice canvas and went to work. This was a lot more difficult than it might appear. It’s not just some pretty colors swirled together with paint. Some of the paint had to be lifted off the canvas in order to put other colors down. The orange and dark blue/purple was one example. After I had gotten the blues, purples, violet and pink colors down I needed to work some deep orange into the darkest blue/purple area. With oils you can’t just paint a deep orange over a deep purple, it turns to mud (opposite colors do that when mixed with each other). So I went in and lifted out the deep blue (with some Gamsol) and made a space for the deep orange to go. It was very painstaking and for a while wasn’t sure it would work, but I managed to figure it out. So where you see the deepest orange mixed with the deepest blues and purples in the upper middle of the painting, you know where the major work was. I love how this one turned out. I really wanted to show the drama of this sky and how the colors were that day I saw it after a crazy storm had passed. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. Thanks for viewing it!
