Paint a sunset in the medium of your choice! You may already have a photo of a sunset you'd like to use, or perhaps you feel inspired to go out and capture one tonight! If so, make sure you watch the short video on tips for using photos taken in low light.

Or feel free to use a photo reference from an appropriate source. Here are a few ideas:

Pixabay.com
Flickr (filter for photos without copyright restrictions, or ask permission from the photographer)
Facebook groups such as "Photos for Artists"
Ask permission from the photographer if you see something on social media that inspires you!
Sometimes the best photos are the ones you take yourself -- even if they aren't "professional," they can hold a lot of meaning
Paint "En Plein Air" (the great outdoors!) -- for tips, see my Skillshare courses on En Plein Air painting
