How To Paint Beautiful Summer Skies

This is the fifth video in the series Paint Convincing Skies in Watercolour. I demonstrate how to paint a clear blue sky, a blue sky with large, fluffy clouds, and finally a blue sky with some thin, high-level clouds. In the course of the video, I show you how to use a wet-on-wet technique, a wet -on-dry technique, and a combination of the two to achieve summer skies with realism and impact.
