The sky can be difficult to paint in watercolor. Particularly, if you venture away from painting a blue sky. However, the sky can truly set the mood for your painting. Yet there is so much variety in the world above the landscape.
Tweaking how I paint my sky's has been an added emphasis lately. In the late fall I noticed there is such variation in the clouds and the colors of the sky. In fact, this watercolor started out as a sky study with some of the subtle nuances of pigmentation that I have been seeing lately.
I am constantly experimenting with new color mixes in order to expand upon my palette. I discovered this lively, green just the other day. It consists of quinacridone gold and cobalt blue. Of course you can darken it with ultramarine blue or warm it with a yellow such as raw siena.
