Dark Sky Silos
My brain doesn’t like doing things “loose” so painting clouds are challenging to me. When I first painted this a few days ago I hated it.
I wish I had taken a before shot, but there was nothing puffy or soft about them. I walked away. The next morning I said, “what the heck” and sprayed the cloud and ground area with a few shots of water. Then I slightly tilted the top of the paper and here’s my result. I think they’re more interesting now and I like them.
There’s a couple of life lessons here:
- Sometimes you need to dance in the rain to loosen up.
- After a few shots, things become more interesting.
Here’s the Let’s Make Art with Sarah Cray video I followed. I also have a link to their website in the left sidebar. I’m signed up for their monthly subscription boxes which comes with the supplies needed for 4 watercolor projects. If you’re interested in getting monthly kits delivered to your door but have questions, please leave me know in the comments below.
