Some studies I did on water and clouds from photography for an upcoming painting!
I've always had a really hard time with these two, clouds especially and since my upcoming painting is set on a beach I wanted to do some practice beforehand. Each paintsketch took me up to and about 30 min.
This study has helped tremendously and I'd like to recommend doing something like this for anything you are uncertain about in your piece before going into it to save you some trouble!


I don't claim ownership to any of the photos used as reference.
As I lost the links I had a hard time finding the pictures again but here are the ones I did find again:
www.wunderground.com/wximage/e…
www.publicdomainpictures.net/v…
marinedreamporta.com/2013/01/2…
www.dreamstime.com/royalty-fre…
If you by any chance find or know where I can find the two remaining images, it would be awesome if you would let me know so that I may give them proper credit!

Amazing! That look is a bit rarer here because of the constant haziness so I make sure to enjoy it whenever I can catch it :'D

The exercise in itself or these paintings in particular? :'D
Either way I'm very glad!

Both!! I struggle with backgrounds and the idea of doing the studies separate as their own little pieces to help feel out the environment isn't something I had thought of before!

Then of course they are just stunning in on themselves ^.^

In that case I'm really glad I could help by just sharing this!
Good luck with your studies! ^^
