Now that I live in Nevada, I’m thoroughly enjoying watching the sunrises and sunsets. This painting is of a beautiful sunset that popped over the mountain one December morning. The contrast with the colorful sunset and the black stark trees was something I could not ignore. So, I decided to paint it. I combined both watercolor paint and gouache with it to help create the clouds. The gouache helped soften the clouds. This painting is part of the Sunrises and Sunsets collection.

This painting is both unmatted and unframed.

It measures 12” x 16” and is designed to fit in a mat with an 11” x 14” opening. Once matted and framed, it would look beautiful, even with another one from the same collection, in your home or office.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
