In this class you will learn how to get started drawing and painting skies and clouds using graphite, watercolor, gouache, and digital paint. I’ll walk you through my process of how I observe, learn, strategize, and paint clouds with these mediums.

I’ll also show you ways I experiment in order to expand my understanding of watercolor skies, which are (in my opinion) the most fun!

My Teaching Style

My goal as a teacher is for students to take away a deeper understanding of the topic rather than just copying what they see. I always try to give repeatable strategies that are easy to remember. That way, students can go off on their own and find success within their own practice.
