Still on clouds

A new version of the clouds. Still working on it.

Sketch

I am trying to use elements from different photographs to come up with a composition for a new painting. This is of the women planting flowers.

Continuing the dog portraits ...

This shows the second and third day of painting. I didn't take a photo of the first day but it was just the drawing blocked in with yellow ochre and burnt sienna. I didn't like the darker background on the first one.

Cloud progression

Thanks Gay for your encouragement. I am continuing to try and make the clouds look realistic. I find it very difficult. I am looking at actual clouds, photographs of clouds and paintings of clouds to get inspiration and ideas.

Big Clouds

I tried subtle clouds but when I looked out my window I realized that Oaxaca IS big clouds so I have to put them in...in some shape or form.

No clouds

I became frustrated with the heaviness of the clouds so I have taken them out to start fresh. I plan to put some subtle clouds in when the sky dries.
