This week the purple clouds went from this:
... to this:
The confusing thing about this one is that other than the clouds, the mountain, and the beach, I have no idea what these things are. Especially the light circular thing at the end of the beach slightly off center. But I like the clouds a little better.
And even if it's more accurate this way, I am bringing the old graded sea back on the bottom half.
You're in this one to learn clouds; I feel like you can indulge yourself with improvising the rest of the picture to improve it?

KC - I think the next one is just going to be cloud after cloud. Some realistic, some not. I suspect what I should have done is read ahead in the directions. I suspect all that gets painted over.

I'd be quite annoyed if I carefully imitated part of the photo of a painting and *finally* was satisfied with that section... that then turned out to be an area which is completely discarded and painted over in the next step.
I mean. The brief feeling of internal satisfaction at accurately being able to replicate a painting stage: good. But. Sometimes we want competent work we've done to not be exclusively temporary!

KC - I didn't mind, it's all about the process and the practice. But I would rather not be confused.
