30 Day Painting Challenge - Day 25 Process Video
Painting reflections of the sunset on the water can be hard. Especially if that water isn't calm. The choppiness of the surface can make it difficult to know where you need to reflect what is above it. I use a simple block in method to make sure my reflections correspond to what is above before I add in the darker spots of the water.

My largest painting in the challenge. With a piece this big, I'll use a variety of techniques to complete it. From the ink wash under-painting, to a dry block in with the pastels. I'll move around starting at the top. If I'm uncertain of an area, I'll work around it or move to a new area and then come back to it later when it's clearer to me on how to proceed. You'll notice the cloud on the lef...

One of my larger paintings in this challenge. I go big with the shapes and colors of this beautiful sunset over the foothills. I start off with an ink wash, with Derwent Inktense Sticks. Then I lay over with a basic block-in. With so much detail in the painting, you can get lost and miss out on the bigger picture. Watch how I focus on each section, but keep the values similar so as not to lose ...

A bit of an abstract cloud painting. With no ground to signal this is a sky with clouds, I'm left with abstract shapes and colors to invoke an mood of late evening. Playing with secondary colors, I focus more on shape and color relationship rather than accuracy of the clouds. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

I think this may have to be one of my favorite paintings so far. The soft clouds melding into the cumulus clouds beneath is always a challenge but so satisfying once complete. Keeping your value close together in these areas will give the illusion of softness. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

An evening sunset looking in the opposite direction to see the moon rise. You'll see me place the moon vertically in the middle of my painting, which I'm sure a lot of you heard don't put your main area of interest in the middle. That's more of a guideline, not a set rule. You just need to make sure you balance out of the rest of your painting and guide your viewer around with other interesting...

Another winter sunrise but this time with some warmer tones in the sky. This plays nicely off the cool distant clouds at the bottom and the melting snow in the foreground. You see towards the end how I start and redo the foreground.

The temperature of the atmosphere can play a huge affect on the colors you choose in your paintings. For this one, it was a cold winter sunset over the distant mountains.

Painting clouds that don't have too many defined shapes can be difficult to paint. To show form you have to use shifting colors and slight variance in values. Too much contrast could cause them to loose there subtle qualities. A softer brush makes it easier to blend the colors. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

I'm gonna be so sad when this series ended. Will you make another one?
I don't know if I'll make another 30 day challenge series for a while. But I do have int he works more paintings to record and put up on UA-cam. Thank you so much for watching these.
I enjoyed watching your process
the underpainting before you used the pastel... was it made with the same pastels or with other medium (acrylic/gouache)?
Hi @nukhbahsany9712, for the underpainting I used Derwent Inktense sticks and made an ink wash on the paper before I mounted it to a foam core board. I like these better as they don't mix with water once they're dry.
This is beautiful! I really enjoyed watching you paint it. 👏🩵🩷💜
I’m going to have to be braver with color!
Thank you.
Yes, just have fun with it and experiment.
