Paint Party Friday - After the Storm

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! It was just over a week ago, I snapped a photo of the clouds in my neighbourhood the day after a violent thunder and lightning storm. This is my version of my photo in my (9" x 12") sketchbook in watercolour crayon.  It never did rain that day, but the sky was still angry.






Here is the actual photo (to help you figure out what my painting is lol):

That is a good idea, to sit down and paint the sky. I might have to do that. Thanks for sharing.

I think you did a really good job of copying the photo. The cloud on the top left looks a lot more like a person in your painting.
