Synopsis

Skies can be a stumbling block for beginners, and this guide sets out to make the process clearer and more approachable. It opens with advice on tools and materials, including preparing a palette and achieving the right paint consistency, before moving into seven types of sky arranged by difficulty.

From plain blue and white cloudy skies through to sunsets and storms, each section includes guidance on planning, step-by-step instruction, and a wide range of tips and examples. With 285 colour illustrations, it is designed for watercolour artists starting out, as well as more experienced painters looking to refine landscape skills.
