Large via Small Sunset

🌅 Go big with the sunset — even when you start small. In this 2+ hour demo, Jeremy Duncan teaches you how to scale up a sunset painting from a tiny study all while preserving the energy, color, and form of your original thumbnail.


You’ll learn how to:

  • 🎨 Capture vibrant sunset color and atmosphere in a small format

  • 🔍 Translate that small study into a larger piece without losing harmony or impact

  • 📐 Build structure, value, and edge relationships that make your sky feel expansive and believable

  • 🧠 Make deliberate compositional decisions so your larger painting carries the same freshness and intention as your original sketch


Perfect for intermediate-to-advanced artists who want to bridge the gap between quick studies and gallery-scale landscapes — scaling up without sacrificing soul. 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.
