Skies and clouds are one of the most fascinating subjects to paint with watercolours. It is an integral part of every landscape painting and the variety of moods that it presents to us is worth exploring. Welcome to 30 days of Atmos, i.e. getting to know your atmosphere, by painting beautiful skies with gorgeous clouds all around.
I started out as a beginner with watercolors four years ago and my journey up till now has been remarkable. Learning about watercolour pigments and how they affect each and every stroke in a painting was a turning point in my artistic path. And for this reason, I wanted to share every ounce of that learning through teaching to paint with watercolours.
In the 30 days of this class we will explore cloudy skies, sunset skies and night skies. We will learn to add beautiful clouds into the sky and explore the various ways to paint different kinds of skyscapes. I will be explaining all the techniques to paint skies with contrasting colours as well as the methods to create fluffy and soft clouds in the sky.
This class is suited for all levels of artists because I will be discussing all the colours in advance and also explaining how to mix the same from the colours in a basic palette. Even if you are a beginner you can join this class with the most basic supplies that you have.
In the 30 days of this class, during the first 20 days we will be painting from a reference image. I will be explaining to you how to break down that reference image and how to approach that image to paint the sky and clouds and the techniques you can use to achieve the best results.
