Don't worry - I don't know what I'm doing either.
Oh how I struggle with clouds.
I'm studying a master Kazuo Oga - the amazing artist who has painted the backgrounds for Hayao Miyazaki's movies. He paint the most amazing clouds! I'm not happy with how my clouds look in the top study... He used grey and just makes it work - I used grey but it didn't work for me
I added some more blue to the dark blueish grey and it did however make it better.
After I did the first study I thought I probably should practise doing some more clouds. I had a bit more influence on the colors in the four small studies.
I really love clouds and it frustrates me that I'm struggling so much with them - but I'll just keep on trying!
Materials:
- Watercolor
- Gouache

Getting to Know ColorsHello there - whoever might stumble across my profile!
I want to get to know colors better. I love colors! But I have to face it - I probably get a little too excited when I use them
Lately I've tried to either: use colors for the background and then black and white for my animals - or use black and white for the background and colors for my animals. It works better than overwhelming everything with too many colors - but I still feel like I'm not quite there with my color combinations.
That's why I've decided to try and really focus on the colors. First I'll start small. I heard somewhere someone say that beginners often choose too many colors too quickly and then they get overwhelmed. I think that's been my problem. So now I'm going to focus on only one color at the time. I'll try to really get to know the individual color. How I can blend them into different shades without just using black or wh
