Mostly, I use the wet-on-wet technique and then drop in other colors\/shades as it dries. I often lift off areas to create more lights and darks, although some of the light areas are from leaving white paper in the beginning. Lifting out color with a damp brush or tissue is also a great way to create mist or fog, which I do on the final sheet.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a big mistake on the first sheet (bottom left) where I blotted out everything but forgot to try to paint over. The paint stained the background and I thought it would make a cool, stormy sky. I&#8217;ll try it later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-286\" src=\"http:\/\/twillpower.com\/thrums\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0532.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-287\" src=\"http:\/\/twillpower.com\/thrums\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-288\" src=\"http:\/\/twillpower.com\/thrums\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Practicing painting skies and clouds has become one of my favorite things.
