        First, to study the image of the clouds. Wait, I’m seeing things… loads of cavorting creatures: Elephants, Poodle, Bear, Koala, Bunny…. wow!

        I’m hoping to do a watercolour study (creature free, clouds only). But this so far is my vivid imagination at work…

        Thanks Tanya, for the great photos.

            Oh how fun!

            That day it was a huge optical… illusion? Tromp loeil?

            You had to sometimes close your eye or you couldn’t tell where water ended and sky began.

                Yes! I can see those animals, too, now that you have sketched them in. Definitely a good way to identify the darker values. Also… fun!

                I think there’s a very little teddy bear sitting down on the bottom, between the big bear on the far right and the little elephant. He’s calling out, “Hey, don’t forget me!”

                    How fun. I love it. Takes me back to my youth. Clouds are just the best. Reminds me of cotton candy.

                                Ha! I was hoping you’d keep the skybeasts in your final version, great fun.
                                The actual watercolour conveys the tranquility of the reference. Nice.

                                    Very well done! Beautifully executed in water color. I love the varied tones in the darker areas of the clouds.

                                        It’s beautiful. You exactly caught the feel of that day.

                                        But like Harry, I would enjoy the sky beasts too.

                                            oh dear…

                                            I’m hoping to do a watercolour study (creature free, clouds only).

                                            … knowing it’s going to be first crack at ‘real clouds’ ~ clouds are challenging! :angel:

                                            It would be fun to capture the critters, though… perhaps a more accomplished artist than I can try?

                                            Connie, I see your little, tiny bear now! :wave:

                                                Great work on the clouds. I loved your early “interpretation” with your animal clouds.

                                                            ah, this inspired me to see if I could make the sky and sea blend more, to capture this optical illusion seen on the day of the photo. Plus soften some more cloud edges. Thank goodness for opaque watercolours! I must stop, as I’m growing the sky and shrinking the sea :angel:

                                                            Thanks for all the kind comments, and for Tanya hosting!
