Sunrise Color Examples


Early Morning Sunrise 
This acrylic painting on gessoed canvas board was painted with acrylic and gesso for the initial layer and finished with Golden Open paint.  The color scheme is complementary of orange and turquoise, and the receding gradating color was used to create space.  This is the more realistic white glaze over the color at the horizon and at one edge of the two rocks.  I also used an orange in areas to tone down the blue.  This is not a highly realistic painting, but that is good as it only to about 45 minutes from beginning to end.

Hot Summer Sunrise
This acrylic and digital painting was created with acrylic paint, my i-Phone and BeCasso App.  I played with the next image and like it so much That I included it as the fourth color scheme which is triadic color of red yellow and blue.

African Sunrise
This acrylic painting was created with Golden High-flow paint on a pink gessoed background on a canvas board.    It is an example of monochromatic red color.  The textured foreground space was made by using saran wrap and several shades of red, black and white paint. 

Summer Storm's Sunrise
This acrylic painting was created with Golden High-flow paint on a blue, pink and violet gessoed canvas board.  It also was created by using saran wrap and various analogous colors of blue, violet and red- violet paint mixed with black and white.
