How to Paint Clouds and Skies with Watercolor

Watercolor painting is difficult enough all on its own, but there are some objects that people find particularly difficult to paint.  This post will hope to remedy that by showing you several videos that teach you how to paint believable clouds and skies with watercolors.  I found the videos below while searching this topic on YouTube and believe these to be the very best videos there on this topic  I do hope you find these landscape and techniques helpful.  Enjoy!

    I am looking at an amazing desert sunset in Las Vegas after rain and snow…Yes it snowed in Las Vegas, I’m not crazy, but I wish I could paint a great watercolor of this sunset to have forever!
