Painting Skies in Pastel Creating dramatic clouds and atmospheric skyscapes
Learn how to use pastels to create skies full of mood, atmosphere and drama.
A sky can make or break a landscape painting. In this invaluable guide, award-winning artist Sandra Orme teaches you how to create a wide range of pastel skies, from sunsets and sunbeams, rain and storms, to delicate sunsets and sunrises. Contains:
Clear explanation of all essential materials and techniques.
A section on colour theory focuses on the key aspects of painting skies: how to retain vibrancy, how to avoid muddled colours by using 'bridging' colours and how many pastels to use for best effect.
Develop your skills gradually through 6 step-by-step demonstrations of specific skies worked from photographs, each examining a particular effect of the sky, from bright clouds on a cool, windy day to rich sunsets. Each major stage is shown before and after blending for clarity.
Sandra's "sky clinic" offers more specialised and technical help on some of the common problems readers may encounter when painting pastel skies. A "first aid course" on how to identify and correct common problems.
With numerous practical tips and many examples of Sandra's stunning landscapes, and without assuming any prior knowledge, Sandra instructs and inspires you to create beautiful, realistic skies with confidence.
