Lesson notes
- A graded sky is a flat wash with one change: more water at the horizon. We do it in a single pass.
- Distance is lighter, cooler and softer. Three planes of hills, each a little warmer and darker than the last, make a landscape.
- Lift clouds with a damp, thirsty brush, then stop. The urge to fiddle with clouds is strong.
