Paint SKIES & CLOUDS in watercolor. Easy tricks to help you.

I am often asked how to paint believable skies and clouds. Follow these simple techniques and you will soon find it a lot easier.

Follow me as I take you from a clear blue summer sky, to fluffy cloud, winter skies, stormy skies and sunsets.

If there is one thing that ruins clouds is the lack of forethought about the brush marks. Use the right brush and be mindful of how you are putting the paint on or lifting it off.

There will be a sky for every painting.

What are the main things you will learn ?

1. How to work very wet.

2. How to work quickly

3. Learn how to lift off paint being conscious of the negative marks you make.

4. Master blending different colors.

Get to grips with these techniques and you will find it will really make a big difference to your landscape painting.
