Painting a Misty Coastal Sunset in Watercolour | Soft Washes & Expressive Darks | Loose Style

Today I’m painting a soft, atmospheric coastal sunset - a gentle, glowing scene built on delicate layers, subtle colour shifts, and the beautiful contrast between soft pastel tones and deep, rich darks. This was such a meditative piece to create. It is the kind of painting that feels like taking a deep breath at the end of a long day, and I haven't stopped looking at it since I put my brushes down.
