"Good morning again. On behalf of Expert Village, this is Sue Rose with a tip for you today. We're working on how to produce a watercolor sunset. One of the things that I always do is I do on regular poster board a sketch of the drawing that I want to paint. This is good because you can always save a sketch and use it over and over again. You may do it in warm colors or cool colors. You may incorporate part of the design in another painting or if you should sell it and would want to do it again to make Christmas cards or to have posters made, it's always a good idea to have your original sketch in your file. Please watch the next segment and I will show you how to put this onto your Arches watercolor paper."
