A lovely sky view from the studio

May 27, 2016 Laura Bird

I am absolutely obsessed with the Sky, not only is it a great subject matter to photograph, draw and paint, It also changes the whole landscape of the London skyline. From my studio balcony, It sometimes feels like the sky is the backdrop to a play, and when it changes, it changes my reaction and mood like a member of the audience. I especially love it when it is just about to rain, the view is so dramatic as the clouds darken in the background and the buildings'  beautiful facades light up in contrast. Why not try and record the sky from your window once a day. This can be a simple two minute drawing to record cloud activity and direction or a ten minute watercolour. you could even create a collage, but make sure you have lots of colour strips ready in advance as the sky doesn't like to wait, even for us artists!
