I drew clouds and sky on a few different days at different times of day. I love looking at the sky, so I wanted to put energy and excitement into my sky drawings. I used sweeps of pastel and put different colours into the mix trying to reproduce what I saw and felt. This method suited the grey sky best – it was a blanket of light grey with shots of dark running though it that hinted at the direction of the wind.
Maybe I should now try more realistic detailed drawings of actual cloud formations? I downloaded a sheet of cloud types and put it into my sketchbook to help me develop this.
