Step-By-Step Sunset Drawing: Unleash Your Creativity With Beach Sunset Coloring Pages

Product Information

So does that mean students need to get out a ruler to draw a big line down the center of their paper before they start? This matched up with predictions of cloud density and altitude of the cloud base from Windy (ECMWF). I was initially very bad at predicting sunrise and sunset color but this is a skill that can be learned.

The satellite images and animation suggest good conditions for sunset (partly cloudy with breaks for the sun to light the sky). If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow. I don’t expect to ever be more the 30-50% accurate at predicting a colorful sunset and significantly less than that for sunrise. To get the rewards of the sunset, then you should stop whatever else you’re doing and really notice and appreciate the show in the sky. For short time-frame predictions, I try to get a direct read of the cloud cover based on current conditions.The holy grail for landscape photographers is to be able to accurately predict sunrise and sunset colors. The scattering by cloud droplets and other particles with diameters comparable to or larger than the sunlight's wavelengths (> 600 nm) is due to Mie scattering and is not strongly wavelength-dependent. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. When students get their drawing off to a good start, there’s a better chance of them feeling successful by the time they are done. I couldn’t shoot the sunrise this morning but thought there was a good chance of getting decent color in the sky as the forecast from the night before was for high clouds (see section below on long range forecasts).

The ideal situation is that the sun is at or below the horizon and the light rays have a direct and unobstructed line of sight to the underside of the clouds in your composition. I’m sure we’ve all had the experience of thinking that the sunset was going to be great only to have the colors fizzle out. Depending on what site you visit, you may see the forecast time listed in your local time zone or as “zulu” time. This drawing has some fall foliage going on, but springtime colors with pinks and yellows would be really pretty too! I could see on the GOES satellite image and animation that fast moving high clouds had just moved in off the coast of San Diego.This is another landscape tutorial that will help young students think more about layers in their artwork. Turn the swirling lines into a gradient sunset sky and let your imagination transform the shapes into anything you desire.
