EDM Challenge #74 - Clouds.


This is a representation of a lovely photo. I used it to try and recreate the clouds. I thought watercolours would be a good medium to try to do this with and a good excuse to use some masking fliud. It was a fun experiment. I quite like the way it turned out, the flowers are a little crisper in person but the scanner seemed to focus on the clouds which is what the purpose of the exercise was anyway.

This is really lovely and you did a fabulous job with the sky and clouds. I like the way the ones on the left look like a pile of whipped cream. The flowers are really nice too and I like the way they are reaching for the sky. and the color contrast of the blue and deep yellow.

Really beautiful Shelly. Isn't that masking fluid fun stuff to play with. I 'specially like rubbing it off. I love the Aquarium you drew and am ashamed to say, living only an hour and a half away, and visiting Melbourne quite frequently, I have never been there.

Wonderful perspective and I love how you've painted the sunflowers. The eye is just drawn to the centre of the one on the left. Super clouds too!
