Mountain Sunset Landscape in Stained Glass Cells Coloring Page

Two faceted peaks rise against a low sun on this panel, the taller to the left, with foothills folding away beneath them. The sky above is cut into concentric arc bands and long horizontal strips, with straight rays reaching up from the sun itself, and the sun is left as one large bare disc. Below the ridgeline a lake spreads across the lower third as row upon row of small overlapping scalloped ripples. A stand of conifers and some rocky shards hold the left shore. Rectangular border panes run around all four sides and the outer corners are cut away on the diagonal. Sky and water carry a great many narrow pieces between them, which is what makes this a forty five to sixty minute sheet and why colored pencils beat a broad marker here. Fade the sky downward from deep violet at the top through rose to amber at the horizon, following the arc bands rather than fighting them. Keep both peaks cool, blue gray in shadow and a warmer tone only on the slopes facing the sun. The lake can simply echo the sky in slightly deeper tones, ripple row by ripple row. Leave the sun disc white and it carries the whole scene.
