Today I remebered that MEAT posted in my sketchbook here before and told me to check out John Constable who's kinda 'famous' for his cloud studies so I did that today and I did some studies of his work of course. He was amazing in painting skies and for landscapes it's pretty important to be able to draw clouds I guess so I tried to match his colors and clouds the best I could. So my paintings are on top, originals by John Constable bottom!
I also gave me a timeframe of one hour for every study to force myself to work more efficient. So in the end I got a lot done but I'm not really happy with any of them, had hard times to get colors and even contours right and worked only on one layer at all time to not loose time through that and I didn't like that sometimes.. still it's a good thing to set a timeframe here and there although very long studies help me more I think.. but at the end of the day what do I know?! Just trying different things ;)
