Blending with Gouache Tutorial: Easy Sunset Painting for Beginners | Paint a Peaceful Sunset

Описание: This quick and easy gouache tutorial is perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to practice blending techniques. Follow along as I paint a simple yet striking sunset featuring soft gradients and a glowing sun. Don’t have gouache? You can use watercolors or acrylics for a similar effect!

📓 Pro Tip: You'll see that my tape bleeds during the process, but I fix it using a ruler and a marker. This quick fix helps keep the edges clean and polished for a more professional finish.

💡 Customize your project: Adjust the colors to create your unique sunset! This piece works beautifully as a card or small gift.

Inspiration Behind the Tutorial:

This simple piece was inspired by a conversation with a friend about the Bible verse “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). We reflected on how God’s words could be a prayer that could be for so many aspects of life. “Let there be light” became my prayer as I was creating this piece.
