I have never painted a cloudscape in watercolors before.  I started to think about it as I painted yesterday's cloudscape in oils - how the colors would flow. Playing with my edges, I paint right up to the clouds for hard lines, and a quick stroke with a wet brush softens others.  This is one of the glorious cloud formations of this last weekend in Springfield - when I was driving to a game, and couldn't just set up my easel and paint!  Painting number 905 in 905 days.
