Red Sunset

Dan53 09 Nov 2026

Oil on 18x24 canvas. Black canvas to start with under painting of Indian Yellow, Aliz Crimson and Phthalo Blue. Learned the technique of smashing the fan brush loaded with white into the bright spot and working out. This was hard to do to get the sky to work and I had to paint this a couple of times. The other challenge is learning how to make the big evergreens with the 2” brush. Then also using it to highlight the trees. Had to work at getting a chiseled edge. Probably would have been easier to use fan brush but am trying to learn so just went with the 2” as Bob did. Thanks for taking a look and feedback always welcomed.

Nice job keeping true to Bob's methods, you did well! Good results with the 2" brush requires a mastery few achieve but is needed if you truly want speed. I admire your tenacity! Good luck!
