The Ultimate Guide to Painting Skies in Watercolor: A 7-Day Challenge

Oh I love all your class projects :) You have done amazing!! Love how you approached Day -7 project :) Keep it up Priya!!

Thank you so much..Really enjoyed this class a lot:)

Great try Priya for Day 4. I think you did great creating this project in you own way. I would like to know, if you struggled creating the wispy clouds using lifting technique? Where was it that you struggled or found it difficult? If you can let me know, I provide you with suggestions :)

Yes, I struggled on day 4...This is my 2nd attempt..I found difficulties in lifting the paints. I thought i need practice for that...but even though i tried my best still struggling to lift up the paint. 

Once i lift the paints, the paints flows from the nearer to the lifted area (felt water is more there) one i let them dry (unable to lift up)..overwhelmed with this.

Hi Priya, I understand you! This is very common. Yes, water control is key here, and you may have to lift the areas more than once, when you notice the colors bleeding into those areas again. Also, sometimes the pigment in your blue can be quite staining resulting left over residues of blue in your paper. Experiment with different blue, try swatching all the blues available with you to see which blues are non-staining!

Sure...will try again to get best out of me :)

Beautiful one from Day 3 Priya!! I love the color contrast you acheived for Day 3!! Great job-keep going!!

Thank you so much...love creating this..will practice more for sure

Lovely Priya :) Try going with a light tonal wash of blue and yellow as you approach the transitioning layer to create a seamless blend :)
