Sunday Sky

Posted on August 22, 2021August 20, 2021 by Laura Kate

This painting started life as a practice sky. I stroked ultramarine blue over the top 2/3rd of the paper, let it sit, and then lifted off the cloud shapes with a wet paper towel. Today I added the sea and sand with inspiration from a photo by Cristian Cabral on Unsplash.

I chose this image because of the foamy waves and dark-colored sand with footprints In addition to the Ultramarine blue I used raw sienna, burnt sienna, paynes gray and a tiny bit of new gambose to make the trees a bit green. Paper is Fabriano Studio cold press cut to 6×9 inches.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber. View All Posts
