Hi! Basically the title. I love painting the sky and have been playing around with blue/white/grey for midday skies. I would love to learn how to paint a sunset like this.

I think I understand most of the general color-blocking of this image, using wet on wet to get the gradients, etc. but how would you get the vibrant pink clouds to show up against the darker blue sky?

Would you leave white space and fill it in with pink? Layer pink and then leave space when painting the other colors for it to show through?
