This is how it could look
Atmospheric summer evening painting scene: luminous sunset painter — sky artist being made of colours of evening light itself (oranges and pinks and deep reds and purples shifting constantly through translucent form), enormous palette of every sunset colour imaginable and set of broad brushes made from cirrus clouds — standing at work at edge of sky, applying evening colours to sky with sweeping, confident strokes. Technique: layers colours like master painter — deep orange near horizon, pink rising above, purple at zenith. Every brushstroke causes landscape below to glow in reflection. Below: summer lake perfectly reflecting painted sky, village, couple watching from hillside, silhouettes dark against glow.
