Welcome to the Class!
Over the years teaching students landscape drawing or painting landscapes one of the biggest hurdles students have is drawing or painting skies. This class will teach you the concepts and approaches for creating better-looking skies. We will explore shapes, values, shadow patterns, and much more to help you learn how to draw and understand skies easily and draw them effectively. Enjoy the class and let's get creative!
I discuss the drawing experience I would prefer you to have to get the most out of the class.
These classes are filmed in real-time so you can listen to steps I use while you draw along with me to create your image.
This is a list of the recommended drawing Supplies.
We explore the materials and begin the line drawing for our sky and introduce basic values. I also have attached the photograph for you to print off as reference for your drawing.
We continue adding values and controlling edges in the clouds.
