Skies and Clouds — June — July 2012 Homework Thread

[Meenakc]

Thank you very much Dough and Sylvie for your welcome and lovely comments. I really appreciate it.

Sylvia, it's looking good.

Meena, lovely colors in your sky. I also like your greens and the village.

I worked on the clouds in my watercolor class on Monday and finished it up today. Here is my interpretation of the lovely photo from the RIL:

Beautiful painting Sylvia, love the colors. May I include some sky photos that I had taken a while back here? I tried to upload them to the RIL but was told they were too small so I thought about showing them to you here. Lil

[LynnM]

Very nice sky, Meena!

Lovely clouds, Sylvia, I have been lurking, thinking about doing some exercises. Thanks for doing this.

Lovely photos too, Lil!

Thanks Doug, Meena, and Lynn.

Those are beautiful photos, Meena. Thanks for sharing them with us here to use as references.

However, I did learn three very important lessons:
1) Stop relying on Masking Fluid so much!
2) Stop fiddling with it! When it’s done, its’ done! Leave it alone!
3) Never accept a challenge, when it comes from Char! (just teasing!)

Bev, I'm sorry that it took me so long to peek into this thread again... you certainly rose to the challenge with aplomb! Your sky is beautiful. You know, it was by participating in these kinds of challenges that I set my own boundaries (i.e. my personal *no scrub* rule)...

Sylvia... so much renewed interest in your Class! Your own sky painting is gorgeous... I love that colour...

Yours is lovely, too, Meena!

Keep them coming everyone... this is really an inspiring thread to read!

MARVELOUS thread and pics but the paintings are WONDERFULLY painted! Wow....those are some beatiful skies.

Hi,
I haven't been here for a few years but thought I would share my overly dramatic sky with all of you. I sometimes get carried away when I get a brush in my hand.



Thanks for looking..as always comments welcome!

[Yorky]

What a beautiful sky Sher.

Doug

[painterbear]

Sher,
Welcome back. Glad to see you again. Your sky is beautiful and dramatic!

Sylvia

[Sher]

Thank you Doug and Sylvia. It's good to be back. I'm hoping I can keep my brushes wet for a bit so I can grow as an artist.... like I've seen so many do here. You both are a shining examples of that.

Hi again,
We are still working on painting skies and clouds in my Monday watercolor class. This is a painting of a morning sky from a reference I found in the RIL. (Read more about it in my link below).

A lovely peaceful scene Sylvia.
