📹 Painting Clouds With Dramatic Side or Back Light in Watercolor!
Clouds that are lit from the back or side can be some of the most dramatic. Here’s a demo on my approach to painting them.
Wow! Very good article. Love your choice of colours. I would be generally interested in your whole palette. Which pigments you appreciate… I love your triadic approach for the sky. Yellow, blue, magenta: you can lean it easily in harmonious fluent transitions in every desired colour direction. This seems to me the best (only?) way to get the spheric, slightly multicoloured, texture of space. Especially I love the subtle shift of the different blues… the clouds: using there cool ultramarin as a fresh contrast to the warmer cobalt blue of the sky. A tiny interesting tension (disharmony). After all clouds are generally not the same objects as a sky. This makes the artistic difference! What a pleasure for the eye! There is – on so many levels (not only pure technically) – so much mastery in this little study! Thank you, friend – for sharing your beautiful prowess! 🙏☀ .. seeing your process looks so much like fun, pure inspiration for painting with joy… NOW… thank you so much!
