Easy beginner watercolor sunset sky over water lesson.Painting with a limited palette 5 watercolours

This video teaches the steps for creating a bright golden sunset sky. I show you how not to end up with dull sunset skies or those that lean towards the green. Topics include how to preserve bright clean sky colors, reflections, trees, color mixing with a limited palette, and water control. This is the sixth in a series of watercolor tutorials for people who have limited time but would still like to paint on a regular basis.
