Daily Painting #21 — Yep… Another Sky Study (Sorry / Not Sorry)

Ok folks… here we go again.
And YES it IS another sky study — sorry / not sorry.
BUT this will be a quick post today because it is hella busy with dancing stuff.

in fact quickest post of this month long challenge i think... ( i did warn you it was bad weekend)

AND to top it all off… I have somehow found myself helping organise the ballet studio fundraiser to Wicked at 9am in the morning, BEFORE the singing showcase that I’m also running the canteen for.
PLUS I’m taking along another student or two because… well… one mum has a migraine and the other is working, so here we are.
Life. 😂

Anyway — here’s today’s painting!

🎨 Method

Pretty much the same as the last two (I promise I’ll vary it up soon).

1. Background

A warm sienna wash over the whole canvas.

2. Sky

• Started with blue first:
  Cobalt Blue + a touch of Burnt Sienna + White
  to knock back the saturation.
• Then the yellows from the horizon upward, being VERY cautious about the dreaded
  “let’s not make it green” line.
• A tiny bit more cool yellow in the horizon today for variation.

3. Foreground

Not the object of the study… but there it is.
A simple warm silhouette with hints of green and shadows to anchor the composition.

Life Updates

The singing showcase is tomorrow, and while I am posting this, I should be:

• gem-stoning a costume
• packing the car
• organising snacks for the canteen
• or doing a hundred other things

…but instead, here I am writing this post i think... any way... yikes.
Classic me.

Anyway, better dash —
I have a date with a new bottle of spiced rum and OMG it’s delicious.
