I love this time of year! The heat of the day brings on the most beautiful and dramatic cloud formations in the afternoon! I picked up a couple more of the Princeton poly tip brushes, as well as my favorite Connoisseurs at Creative Coldsnow's yesterday. One, an angled tip, and the other a smaller filbert. When painting the clouds, it was hard to keep the clean filbert tip from leaving those perfect little marks. I found myself picking up a well used bright to soften the marks. I wonder how these brushes will wear. I really like the black heads and ferrules, they will not reflect the bright sun while painting outside, and sometimes, that reflection can be blinding! I am looking forward to some intensive "in the field" painting with them. That is my true test for any brush that makes it into my paintbox. Painting number 1294 in a 1294 days :)
I always love seeing your cloud paintings. Beautiful technique.
