Sunday Sketches - Looks Like Rain

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! One morning I snuck out for a quick walk, hoping the forecast rain would hold off. I snapped a quick photo of the skies, it looked pretty. I then sketched the image in my (8 1/2" x 11") art journal in watercolour crayon.  It didn't rain that day after all.


Here's my photo:

I prefer your version of that sky Christine,
with visible sun :))

Have a beautiful Sunday!

We could use a few clouds and a good rain over here in Hawaii. Too hot!

I love both your photo and your painting. There is something magical about looking up at the sky no matter what the weather. Have a wonderful week Christine.

You're going to have to sketch overcast days more often if it keeps the rain away:)

It's wonderful how you have translated this photograph into art! And I love the idea to take a photo during a walk and draw afterwards. So you can experience the impressions from the walk a second time.
