The light on a ridge at sunrise and sunset is like a living paintbrush, streaking gold, amber, and violet across the sky and turning the whole slope into a moving canvas. Those colors shift fast—one moment a soft peach, the next a deep crimson, then a calm indigo—so catching them in a painting feels like holding a piece of the moment. If you get there early or stay late, you can chase those fleeting hues, layer them with quick sketches, and let the ridge’s shadow play across your canvas. It’s a great way to capture the rhythm of nature while giving your art a fresh, vibrant pulse.
