Not just a Tree - Nicht nur ein Baum

This week is the last of the painting the sky course and now we should put everything we've read, learned and seen. I've made up this landscape and also the sky, but sometimes it seems the brushes find their way themselves...

Diese Woche ist die letzte des Kurses den Himmel zu malen und nun kommt alles zusammen auf die Leinwand, das man gelesen, gelernt und gesehen hat. Diese Landschaft und auch den Himmel habe ich mir ausgedacht, aber manchmal scheint es, als würden die Pinsel ihren eigenen Weg finden...

  1. What is helpful is to stand outside at dawn and the sunset and to make notes on paper of the colours that you are seeing in the sky, I do this a lot. Then do some test samples to see if you can recreate what you saw. If you can find a nice photo and there are many on the cloud appreciation society website and work from that if you find the colours a little untrue you can still use your notes you have made from the skies you have observed. Working from memory is not easy and when studying the sky it is hard to work without a reference.
