Paint A Winter Sky
The key is in the textures
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- The KEY texture that works for all skies
- Using basic watercolor techniques to create ‘sky’ texture
- Practicing two important techniques
This lesson is about painting a sky, but it is also valueable practice with those two fundamental techniques which can and should be used for many subjects and scenes – Wet-In-Wet and Dry-In-Wet.
Even though these are easy techniques, many folks have difficulty working with enough water to make the wet-in-wet and dry-in-wet work well. Since the lesson and the result rely mostly a very loose and fluid wet-in-wet technique you’ll know immediately if you haven’t gotten it quite right. You’ll know for sure if you have one or more of these undesirable problems: streaks, blooms, or mud.
It takes practice to develop the willingness and confidence to give up some control of the medium. But the results are worth the risk. Keep at it!
