Sunset light on treetops

This is technically not in my sketchbook but it’s definitely a sketch. More specifically a color study of treetops. In the forest behind our house there’s a steep slope down to a river, and when you’re standing at the top, the treetops from the trees going down the slope are basically in head hight, and when the light from the sunset hits them it’s really beautiful. So here i was just trying to hit the color notes without caring about the detail or really the forms in general. This one is in gouache.
