Approaching Storm โ€ข Kevin Hill

I chose this tutorial for the sky. You know me and my many failed clouds/skies. I thought to give this one a shot to improve my skills. I am happy how it turned out.

The sea & wave were also a great learning opportunity. Lots of new tricks in my painting tool box! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I did the sky first, waited few days later to do the bottom part. So it was a 2 day project. Canvas size: 18โ€x24โ€

Beautiful job Nancy.

Thank you Tony! ๐Ÿ˜Š

No fails in this sky as I see it! Neither in the bottom part, really great painting! Was there a particular reason in waiting a few days to do the lower half?

Nice. I have planned a (I think a complex one for me) seascape for the next weekend.

Thank you Marc! ๐Ÿ˜Š Yes there is. Great question!

When I do Kevinโ€™s tutorial, it takes me a long time to get thru. Itโ€™s a somewhat a new technique therefore, I have to take my time. There is always a stopping point in his tutorials. Here, was when I was done with the sky. If I had stopped in the middle of doing my wave, the blending wouldnโ€™t have been the same the next day since the paint is almost dry at that point. I would have had to do more work to get it to where I want it to blend. I learned the hard way when I did his โ€œwindy crashing waveโ€ almost a month ago.

Thank you Tom! ๐Ÿ˜Š Canโ€™t wait to see your seascape! ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธ

A Beautiful painting! The sky is wonderful from the horizon to the clouds, and the sea/waves are fantastic as well! I love the colors, the lighting and shadows!

The sky is simply awesome N! Beautiful all around but for me the sky is the star here!

Thank you very much Pam! Lots of different elements that makes this painting very special!

Thank you very much B!! I have to agree with you. It's the 1st time that I make a sky that looks like this. I was so excited of the result when I step back to look at it!! I am able to make a nice sky & clouds. Yay!!! ๐ŸŒค๏ธ

Great one, Ninoum!
The sky, the waves, the rocks and the lighting on it all. <3
