How to Draw a Sunset: Easy Step-by-Step Art Lesson for Kids

Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Sunset and a Sunset Coloring Page. A curvy road makes it extra pretty!

Sunset Drawing

A drawing of a sunset, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

This is another landscape tutorial that will help young students think more about layers in their artwork. This drawing has three very distinct sections of hills that will easily connect to the fore, middle and background concept.

To add a little more perspective, a winding road gradually gets smaller and smaller and trails off to the setting sun. It’s an easy way to give the drawing even more intrest and depth.

Finally, when it comes time to color, the choices could easily be adapted for the seasons. This drawing has some fall foliage going on, but springtime colors with pinks and yellows would be really pretty too!
