What a rainy, moody day for painting! This painting is one of two I painted for demos this afternoon in "cloud painting", class. It is helpful to start with an acrylic underpainting in the approximate color of the sky. When this is completely dry, a dry brushing technique in oils is used to achieve the airy cloud strokes. The ground plane is not the focus, but is only there to bring the eye back to the sky. Who knew those one inch bristle brushes could be so useful? Painting number 1894 in 1894 days.
