Real Time Sunset Sketch- plus a few hints for cheap framing

I have always avoided sketching sunsets. I was never happy with the results and found the results to be gaudy and over bright. Well there is nothing like practice (and good old-fashioned messing around) to slay a demon and that is what I did! I love muted colours for my art and actually this means that I can also control what goes into a sunset and make it a little easier on the eye.
Come along with me on the journey and see what you think. I also talk a bit about using scraps of paper and some things to consider when framing or presenting your work. Small things but useful if you need to save some money.

I totally 👍 about cutting the right size that would fit mount and frame. I didn’t bother time to time and regretted it.
Love those lil cards. It’s a lovely gift too. I’ll have a go definitely. 😊

[@debbievongrabler-crozier2646]

Absolutely! I thought that i was so smart using every little bit of a large piece of paper and then I realised that framing them would cost much more than I had saved in paper! Look forward to hearing how you get on! deb xx

Hi Debs, what paper do you use for your one off paintings? Thanks x

[@debbievongrabler-crozier2646]

Hi Shirley! That one is a Fabriano mixed media paper. About 300gsm by the feel of it. Really worth looking for. I love that it comes in a large sheet and is really quite cheap. Deb xx
