An Escape in the Midst of a Sunset

Materials:
hb pencil, 2b pencil, acrylic paint on canvas

Process:
I used one of my reference photos to inspire me to draw a seascape with boats along a sunset. Although the grass and the tree were darker in my original photo due to lighting, I wanted to experience lighter colors for that is seen throughout my artist's work. The colors, although very minimal, have many shades displayed. The colors I used are green, blue, orange, beige, grey, black, and white. However, most were created by mixing white or a lighter color of the same shade. Something I risked with this art piece was the bright sunset because I have trouble with blending especially when the colors don't necessarily go together. Sadly, this isn't my fully finished product as I have to work on the sunset and more details to further blend it. 

Ideas:
tall green grass with light and dark green shades. Only did one house rather than the many buildings that were in the original photo. color of the river is a much darker tone than the sky.
