Paintings in Oils by Roos Schuring.
Plein air painting, Images & Videos, Enjoy!
This painting, a day or more after the first (see here), this was created when there was so much dust in the air, and I could tell it would 'become a red sun' easily.
You see, when the sky is clear, and blue, you often don't get a red sun, or only through a smok-like horizon cloud.
Here it was red even way above the horizon, and it lasted long.
I did decide to not paint it red, as red is a mid-tone, I could have chosen orange, but I didn't want to darken up my sky, or replace what I already liked, so I stuck with this very light whitish orange.
(TIP) Next time, when you see the conditions for a red sun, and you start a few hours prior, it can help to already choose a darker palette of colors for the sky, to make sure a 'orange' can sing as a 'light'.
{Not to say one way is better than the other. Only saying, to myself mostly, experiment with different value relationships. Starting with a more mid-tone sky, you can make a sun more easy, have it be the lightest even when the sun itself is painted as a light-mid-tone. Experimentation makes painting so interesting.}
