A summer sunset can add a warm and vibrant touch to your coloring pages! Today, we’ll be working on a page from "Cottage Vibes", illustrated by Southern Lotus Coloring Book, to create a beautiful sunset design using Ohuhu Markers.

Materials Needed:

 

- Cottage Vibes Coloring Book by Southern Lotus Coloring Book

- Ohuhu Markers (Y1, Y030, YR190, YR090, R110)

 

Step-by-Step Guide

 

Step 1: Draw the Sun Outline with Y1

Start by using Y1 to draw a soft outline of the sun. Keep the circle even and smooth, as this will be the brightest part of your summer sunset.

 

Step 2: Fill in the Sun with Y030

Fill in the sun with Y030, blending gently with Y1 to create a soft gradient effect. The yellow tones will set a bright and warm foundation for the rest of the sunset.

 

Step 3: Add Gradient with YR190

Use YR190 to color around the sun, blending carefully with the previous layer. To achieve a seamless blend, apply the new color and then go over the edges with the previous color to soften the transition.

 

Step 4: Build Gradient Layers with YR090 and R110

Continue adding additional layers to the sky using YR090 and R110. These colors are lighter with each layer, helping to create a natural gradient effect. Make sure to blend each layer smoothly to avoid harsh lines in your sunset sky.

 

Step 5: Create Sunlight Texture with Y030

For the final touch, use Y030 to draw random curved lines extending from the sun. These soft strokes add a sunshine texture, enhancing the glow of the summer sunset and giving your artwork a dreamy, warm feel.

 

Final Step: Your Summer Sunset is Done!

 

Your page now features a beautiful summer sunset with a smooth gradient effect that adds a warm and relaxing vibe to your coloring project. This technique is perfect for creating nature-inspired designs and pairs beautifully with the cozy and serene scenes in the Southern Lotus Coloring Book.
