More Clouds and Water

This is Destin, Fla. and the Panama Beach area. If you look at these clouds you will see a different look than those I posted yesterday. There is more moisture in them from the ocean and the bottom of the clouds are flat. I wonder if it is because of the water and the air pressure pressing on the clouds.

Also if you notice the water is darker where the cloud is strongest. The fore ground water is more of a turquoise or teal color. So the shadows play an important part in the painting I did as I sat near this spot with my watercolors.

Plein Air painting is where you can learn so much about your subject.  Monet said, "Why are we in this studio? The world is out there!" not long after he and his friends met in Paris. And that's true all of our subjects seem to be out there. Whether in our minds or the out of doors. Let capture them and put them on canvas.

Lets continue to study our subjects and keep our brushes wet!
