Colors: Yellow, orange, gray, white, black
Start with the vibrant sunset. Apply a bright yellow as the base for the sky, blending into warmer oranges near the horizon. Add swirling cloud shapes using a mix of gray and white, enhancing the motion with subtle touches of black to create depth.
Colors: Blue, black, white
Layer the mountains in the background with shades of blue. Use the darker blues and blacks to create shadows and add dimension. Highlight the peaks lightly with white to suggest the reflection of the sunset.
Colors: Blue, white, black
Paint the sea with bold strokes of blue, mimicking the waves. Incorporate white highlights to emphasize movement and add definition. Use black sparingly to add contrast and suggest depth.
Colors: Red, black, gray, blue
Focus on the rocky foreground, using red as a striking base color. Overlap with grays and blacks to shape the terrain. Add final touches of blue and light gray to blend with the overall tone of the painting.
