I recently sold a cloudscape, and it occurred to me that it has been a long time since I have painted skies. So, after a day full of the KU Expo with my youngest son, I returned home - thinking about beautiful skies! When looking at the sky, the higher you look, the more violet the blue. The closer to the horizon, the warmer the blue. The clouds reflect some of the ground color, which is reflected into the water. It is important to shape the clouds with warms and cools - and thick paint in places to really add to their dimension. I reveled in this painting - and I'm ready to start another! Perhaps, I will paint several while the mood strikes me! Painting number 783 in 783 days :)
Beautiful! I love looking at the sky. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when I can not only enjoy the beauty of a painting but also learn something from the artist. Thank you, Tammie, for the lesson about the warmth of the blues positionally. I hope you will be doing many more cloudscapes. This is beautiful.
