The skyscapes have been nothing short of amazing lately! Tempted daily by their beauty - I have once again taken up my brushes to capture them! Sunset color is so fleeting, it is always a mad dash to mark those masses, and one can never truly start until that color starts to ripen. I try to get the blues in first, and then I begin placing that cloud color in fast and loose. As the color deepens, I adjust with thicker paint, laying those strokes on top of the previous ones, blending only where needed. Before the color fades from the sky, I am checking all the masses, with a loose drop in of the foreground. It is normally too dark to get a photo, they never turn out right. Maybe one day I'll be fast enough to get that shot at the end! Painting number 2053 in 2053 days.
