Sunset

I don't really do sunsets in watercolour as I feel it's better suited for an opaque medium such as oils or  acrylics but looking through my photographs I came across one I took  last November at the Headland in Hartlepool so I thought  that I would give it a try.
First thing was to keep the colours  muted as it is very easy to make the scene look overly colourful and gaudy and secondly to try and watch the tonal values. The end result pretty much matched the atmosphere of my photo and I may try another sometime!
