How to Paint a Yellow Sky
- 1). Wet the paper with your brush. Your aim is to make the paper glisten, but not become soggy and puddle.
- 2). Dilute yellow paint into your palate. Starting from the horizon, cover the sky with horizontal strokes of yellow. The highest concentration of yellow should start along the horizon line.
- 3). Overlap rose paint on top of the yellow. Apply it faintly, so that the yellow paint is more visible than the red. This should give the horizon a soft pink hue.
- 4). Use overlapping strokes with a wet brush to help the paint flow. This will bring out the yellow and rose colors and create a graded wash from the horizon to the top of the sky.
