This pastel landscape demo is packed full of information and tips! It is my largest booklet yet with 109 images! If you want to discover tips for painting beautiful, more effective skies and clouds, this booklet is for you! I am pleased to share my approach to painting expressive and painterly stormy desert sky with pastels on a sanded surface in this PDF downloadable demo.
The subject of the demo is a cloudy sky over the New Mexico desert. I demonstrate how to paint a beautiful skyscape with no underpainting needed!
This demo shows the development of the painting from the selection of palette to the final touches. I continue with a step by step description of the development of the painting. There are 35 detailed steps in this booklet. I talk about supplies, the steps I take in developing the painting to the way I make my marks to suggest detail. There are several bonus features to this booklet to help you improve your skies. It is like taking a mini workshop with me!
I also provide my reference photo should you wish to follow along and paint your own version.
If you are looking to loosen up your paintings and learn techniques for painting more authentic skies and clouds, consider my digital download!
The demo has 50 double spread pages and 109 color photos.
This download is a PDF file can be viewed on your computer, tablet, phone or printed and stapled into a booklet.
The demo is a pastel painting but I use the same approach to paint landscapes in oil and acrylic so the information will be helpful even if you don't use pastels!
FREE BONUS: after 8/7/16 I will post a video demo of a larger version of this demo on my YouTube channel. Link coming.
