Simple 4 Step Sunset

🌇 Build a sunset that feels alive, stage by stage. In this 2+ hour demo, Jeremy Duncan walks you through a structured process for painting a sunset in four distinct phases — from rough sketch to polished finish — while preserving luminosity, harmony, and energy.


You’ll learn how to:

  • 🖌️ Start with a simple value study to establish strong foundational shapes

  • 🎨 Layer color methodically—going from broad washes to refined accents

  • 💡 Capture the unique color and atmospheric transitions that make sunsets magical

  • 🔍 Refine edges and balance contrast so your final piece feels cohesive and glowing


Perfect for intermediate-to-advanced painters who want to deepen their understanding of light, color progression, and step‑by‑step planning — so you can paint believable skies without losing spontaneity. 🕒 Runtime: 2+ hours

Jeremy Duncan

Jeremy developed a love of painting Plein Air after studying the work of such artists as Carl Rungius, Edgar Payne, Nicholai Fechin, and John Singer Sargent.
He has always been drawn to the glow of a warm, crackling fire- whether outside camping on a cold night or in his home to enjoy a mood. The life and movement of fire are comforting qualities. He has always wanted to recreate not only the look of those qualities but also the feeling. Through the application of some basic principles, he feels he has been able to capture and express the attributes of his experience with fire. He finds both the process and the end result to be highly enjoyable.
