How to draw a sunset in stages

To create the sketch you need to draw the line of the horizon to separate sea and sky. With a compass in the center of the sheet we need to identify circumference of the setting sun and with a ruler a pencil to draw lines with rays emanating from the center to the sides. Figure 13 depicts the sun's rays, which will alternate the two colors.

Edge of the sun make yellow. If you take watercolor, try not to save water. The colors will smoothly transition into one another, creating a beautiful solar gradient. Don't forget to outline the trail of yellow paint from the sun, which normally appears on the surface of the sea during sunset.

When the paint is dry, begin filling out the remaining rays of orange hue, trying not to go to the borders of neighboring. So you get a beautiful contrast that will look neat. Grab the blue palette and go to the sea. To do this, using blue and blue colors, try to reproduce the effect of small disturbances on the water surface.

On the water will look different curls and circles. Style doodling are observed you can find many simple patterns. It remains to choose the most beautiful patterns and try to reproduce them in his art.
