Well....I thought nice simple and I try practicing sky blends. First time using bockingford paper. I don't think is 100% cotton .

I used the colors from DS and were same colors as class says but different brand. What a mess with ultra marine as you can see heavy granulation.  Oh well.

 

Then I tried experiment with magic sponge hoping the granulated stuff blend better. Don't think much better but maybe after a day will look better.

I am still posting my attempt.

 

Will post both attempts. Next try will use different blue I guess.

the one on bottom obviously is before i wiped off granulation with magic sponge.
