Wonders of Nature: The Mood of Clouds with Sidne Teske

Clouds in a blue blue sky can add the drama that elevates a ho-hum painting into a superb one. In this workshop participants will use watercolor techniques to make beautiful clouds in dramatic skies.

Recommended Supplies:
-Watercolor paper
-1” tape   (masking or painter’s)

-Brushes (round and flat)

-Paper towels
-Color photos (preferably ones you have taken) of cloudy skies

Optional:

About Sidne Teske

Sidne Teske is a self-taught pastel painter, who makes plein aire landscapes as well as large studio pieces. She often sketches with watercolor when out in the field. And to change things up a bit she also makes books out of found objects such as broken musical instruments, and translates her love of petroglyphs into furniture.
