Part 1 - Part 2 [you are here]
- Step 3: We have both our bases done now. Yay! For this part we are entirely focusing on the sky and clouds. This is where the handy dandy color picker comes in and be prepared to be changing back and forth between smaller and larger brush sizes. Eyeball it to see what you like, the undo option is very handy in case something messes up, so don't worry too much.
All those different colored stripes will be fluffed up into different colored clouds. Choose a color, and making sort of swirly motion up and out. You don't have to make all the clouds the exact same shape and size - play around and have some fun. I work from top to bottom but honestly do what you like. Things will blend together some - thats fine and great! It's one of the reasons I love using watercolor so much. This is kinda time consuming, just keep picking colors and keep swirling and fluffing up the clouds to your liking.
If you think it's lacking in darker or lighter colors in the mix, as before just streak in some of the original color or white for a lighter look, color pick and swirl around to make some fluffy clouds.
(part 3 for the grass is coming next. this pic along with it's description will be places along with part one so the full tutorial will be available all on one page.)
