sil·hou·ette

/ˌsilo͞oˈet/

noun

the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible against a lighter background,
especially in dim light.

When the sun is rising or setting, it is on the edge of behind the horizon line. This causes what you see to be dark, because the light is not shining ON it, it is BEHIND it. We are seeing the dark side of the object.

If it is an object below the horizon line, it will not show up.

So, try to keep your horizon line low on the paper.

Not all of these colors are always visible in a sunset. Study images online for examples of sunsets. Here are some I found that I thought were inspiring....
