SKIES

 


Just a couple of small cloud studies copied from the Turner’s Apprentice book - good demos working with a single color and getting the brush strokes right.

These are on a pad of Hahnemuhle 140# cold press watercolor paper I bought to try out.  I separated each sheet into 4 smaller sections for painting the sky studies on.  



I like the Hahnemuhle cold press paper but would buy a block next, not a loose pad.

    I love these, Rhonda. You got it right off the bat!
    I always forget how beautiful white/gray/black is!

    Thanks, Laura. The book leads you through some demos to try and suggests you start with monotones to get the brushwork underway before moving into color - I’m ready to start color now!
