  Clouds and skies, with their dramatic displays of light, rapidly changing moods and luminous effects of color, are an immensely challenging subject ideally suited to watercolour's ability to suggest light breaking through atmospheric layers. No two skies are ever alike and this dramatic variety, including sunrise and sunsets, wintry clouds laden with snow or ominous summer thunderstorms, offers the artist an infinite variety of spectacular subject matter. Packed with dozens of different cloud and sky studies, from intimate sketches of wispy cirrus strands to full-blown images of the majestic anvil-shaped, storm-bearing cumulonimbus, 'Clouds and Skies' shows how to depict the tiny details as well as capturing magnificent sky-scapes.
