Leah's sunsets

Leah has made further adjustments to her sunset painting. I think that the values are set up pretty well here. I like the silhouetted trees. The top cool cloud may be a little too uniform for this painting but it's a very nice lead into these beauties...

Leah has a real knack for abstracting forms. I like them both but the ground plane on the left is just so beautiful so it's my favorite.

I did just one little thing in Photoshop—extending the light across the horizon and starting the break up the shapes of the foreground trees. The purple hill color is really lovely though I might keep it on the lighter side in both the oil and watercolor versions. And as in the oil versions, lighten the darker colors in the sky and keep the tree colors dark.

In the watercolor on the left, if Leah just pushed the darks on all of the foreground tree shapes it would make the sky seem lighter and be perfect for a frame.

Nicely done.
