Night Fishing

Sketch the basic composition, dividing the canvas into sky, water, and foreground.

Apply a thin wash of burnt umber as an underpainting.

Begin layering in the sky with yellows, oranges, and browns, blending them softly.

Paint the dark band of land across the horizon line.

Create the water reflections using horizontal strokes of yellow, orange, and white.

Add the foreground details, such as the trees and plants, with dark browns and blacks.

Use small dots of white and yellow to represent the lights reflecting on the water.

Add final details and highlights to create depth and texture.
