Leisure Painter & The Artist | How To Paint Skies in Watercolour
N.B. This special issue is included in the September 2023 issue.
Skies can make or break a landscape, and painting them with confidence, whether from photographs or en plein air, will take you to the next level. You don’t always have to reach for the blues, says Julie Collins; think orange, green, pink and gold instead. From how to paint the effect of rain storms to colour mixing for a vibrant sunset, Julie’s feature on painting summer skies is packed with colour-mixing advice.
Tony White follows with his approach to painting loose, interesting clouds as well as discussing essential flat and gradated wash techniques. His final tip says it all about his approach: ‘Let it rip. Don't be timid. We’re only painting!’ And finally, Winston Oh inspires us with his look at painting skies on days when we don’t see the sun. Try Winston's techniques and never worry about painting on a dull day again.
