Random Sunset On Cheap Paper

24 August 2014

I’m confused by this one.  Did I really come up with this on the same day as the Ugly Bay?  Because I don’t remember doing two on the same day.  And why did I do this on some really cheap, thin watercolour paper?  Maybe I was just messing about while waiting for the other painting to dry (which was what happened with Pathside Sheep).

So, how is it?  I think the colours in the foreground are good.  As is the sky, with its dark clouds and sunset colours.  There’s a mark in there that was supposed to be a bit of cloud that instead looks like some buildings on the opposite side of a bay – it ends up turning the yellow and orange colours in the sky into yellow and orange colours in the sea but these things happen.

So I was happy with this one overall, especially in the light of all the recent clunkers.  But because it’s on thin paper, it’s not worth framing.
