I am in the process of creating a new video course on how to paint dramatic skies. This is the painting that I am demonstrating. I am quite pleased with how it came out. I was going to add some distant trees on the right but decided against it at the last minute. Still not sure if that was the right decision. Would love some opinions on this.
I love it as is, Jean, with the distant hills.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is amazing, and what a beautiful gray.
Thanks Laura.
DeleteThe sky has worked really well, nice and dramatic and the grey works with the yellow ochre land area. Nice fresh looking washes Jean!
ReplyDeleteComing from the expert on skies, a big thank you.
DeleteI can see why you were going to add trees there but I like it how it is - it has a sense of expectation, like something is going to happen in that space, a flash of lightening perhaps
ReplyDeleteThat's a novel thought. Thanks Belinda.
DeleteIt is a really beautiful sky with fresh, undisturbed fusion of pigments. Lovely contrast with the orange field
ReplyDeleteThanks Blaga.
DeleteThe trees might take attention away from that very dramatic sky. I think you made the right decision. I agree that the contrast of neutralized colors (blue & orange) really work well. You have the distant mountain and the grasses for added interest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback Lavina. It makes me feel better about my decisiion.
DeleteThis is stunning Jean, I would have loved to see some trees like those you have in your dream scapes.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your you tube videos!
