Introduction to painting skies

Skies play such an important part in any landscape.
They can be the main theme, with stormy clouds and great drama, or they can be just the backdrop for the main theme. But always they provide the light and atmosphere for the scene.
​
Here I'll show you how to paint different types of sky, from the bright blue of a summer’s day to a rainstorm. 

Sunny skies

Sunny skies are created by painting clean washes of color. I'll show you how to lay down a flat wash without streaks or blemishes to create your sunny sky, how to paint around complicated objects, and we'll see how you can use colors other than blue for the sky.
