Watercolor Sunset

Use a large brush to wet the entire paper with clean water. The surface should be shiny but not puddling.

Load your brush with yellow and paint a band across the lower third of the sky.

Without waiting for the yellow to dry, add orange above it, then red, then purple at the top.

While the sky is still damp, use a thin brush and black paint to add a silhouette of trees or buildings along the bottom.
