Moody Clouds

Another great Monday at Gallery Stamford watercolor class. Practiced clouds today as they are ever-so troublesome. One could think, "Clouds are white, sky is blue," but if you really look closely, clouds are a rainbow of colors in all shades and tints. And it's important to mention they are always moving so some sort of brushstroke or technique is required to get that feeling. Best piece of advice for creating these clouds: what you do not paint is equally as important as what you do paint. Above are the two pieces completed today, I hope you enjoy.
