Clouds and skies.

[AndyRage]

The theme is clouds and skies - You can sure do better than me, so give it your best shot.

You're welcome to add land and other scenery to give them some sense of place (they look a bit odd on their own...)

[Selby]

Hi Andy,
Love your cloud-it looks shy, hiding on the side like its about to scamper off somewhere :)

Selby

[AndyRage]

It sort of looks like congeled marshmallow... I think I was getting the hang of it toward the bottom-right of the cloud, though. I should try another one.

[Selby]

I think it looks great like a neat cartoon cloud...

......but if you want to wow us with more clouds i wont get in your road :twisted:

Selby

[ENCHANTER]

i had a go, im sorry if i spoilt you lovely mash potato :)

[maror]

:shock: such a good cloud in the gallery section and now this :shock:
sorry but it looks great if it is an animal standing in the snow :P

greez

edit: Oh im such a fool :oops: I hadn't see the filename before! :o You can forget the first sentence!
:lol:

[drzeller]

I didn't see the filename either and was going to make a post like yours -- but luckily you did it first!

:D

D.

[ENCHANTER]

im sure you can think of something else :)

[AndyRage]

Hehe.
Okay, now seriously... this was supposed to be a thread about painting clouds and skies (although the day I started it, other threads also materialized about clouds!)

Just because my clouds look like marshmallow doesn't mean yours have to look like things other than clouds.

[drzeller]

I was going to try to make a cloud that looked like you based off your picture on the Company page on the AR website... but alas, only Tycho has clear facial shots...

So, here is my very own, from scratch, cloud.

D.

[ENCHANTER]

ok ,proper clouds :)

My Clouds... :oops:

[PNP]

BEAUTIFUL...LOVE the purple orange yellow!

[artfrenzy]

[Peter Pinckney]

I hope I'm not too late for this.............................

[Peter Pinckney]

after the rain

[maror]

:D yeah an airplane.... nice peter! love it!

[Bumble]

Wonderful Peter love the aeroplane :D

[D Akey]

I hope I'm not too late for this.............................

That's spooky Peter. They had this image on TV news last night. It was on a rare postage stamp that someone (mistakenly?) used to post a ballot for the last election.

The airplane was inverted accidentally making the stamp worth upwards of 200,000 US dollars.

The ballot could not be used and the sender of the stamp did not put his information on the envelope (or within) and thus the vote could not be used.

But it's funny that you painted that image 'out of the blue' as it were.

. . . um. . . you're not missing any particularly rare stamps are you? Best be more careful with your source images.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[speggie]

hey Dakey i think the guys name was montgomery brewster ?..............aka richard pryor .from the brewsters millions movie ....he posted the same rare stamp on a postcard and sent it to the guys trying to inherit his fortune ..........he had to spend a certain amount of money but have no assetts at the end hence the stamp sending

[D Akey]

No WAY! Hahahahaha. Really?

Then somebody fooled the news services. I swear I saw it as a spot on the local news last night. We're in a huge market too. Very funny. . . ahhh.

Would explain the annonymity.

Doesn't make Peter any less telepathic. Cause he posted this in advance of the gag/story.

[Peter Pinckney]

Hey that IS wierd ................because when I painted it I started to add an albatross and I thought "what would DAkey say about an albatross" so I changed it to the aircraft ............... spooky's right ................. but I am known to be telepathetic ........strike that.....telepathic.....why even now I know what you're thinking DA.........................STOP ! Give the furry things a rest will you???? LOL

Best to you


Peter

[D Akey]

Hey that IS wierd ................because when I painted it I started to add an albatross and I thought "what would DAkey say about an albatross" so I changed it to the aircraft

Albatros, DeHaviland, Fokker, Spad, Pfaltz, Sopwith Camel. . . any would have been acceptable to most casual observers. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Fur is right. . . Fur-lined jackets for anyone who flies one of those puppies!
Hey, maybe that's why I was crazy about open cockpits -- it's the fur. :lol:

Chalk another one up to telepathy.

[Peter Pinckney]

WOOOOOOWEEEEEEE looky here :http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6143218.stm

[Bumble]

Couldn't decide which thread to put this in Dab n scrape or here........... :D

[D Akey]

Serene. I'm half expecting the colors and lighting to change and stars begin appearing.

[Bumble]

Thanks Dakey :D :D ......

[D Akey]

Oooh! A shooting star! Quick! Make a wish! Do you wish to be called Bumble or Bubble?

Love it. Now I feel like starting a camp fire and laying back and gazing.

I love the blue against the black with the white flecks. Rich.

:D :D :D

[Selby]

ooh good one bubmble ...very pretty


Selby

[Bumble]

Thank You Selby.....hehehe :D :lol:

Clouds with a graceful companion........

[Alexandra]

Great clouds Enchanter! Love the colors and your technique.

[D Akey]

Thanks for bringing these back out. I love these skies and the SST too.

[Grubznug]

My first contribution in since my introduction post ^_^

'twas dark and stormy...

[pai]

Hi Grubznug,

Welcome to the forum. :) I think your first stormy sky painting is very nice. Hope to see more of your work.

[D Akey]

Grubznug, Now that's an opening sentence! er, painting! Campy yet original all at once.

hahaha.

Nice painting. :lol:

[gzairborne]

That is a beauty of a first post...very cool brushstrokes.

[Grubznug]

thanks for the complements ^_^

it was actualy my second post. first since the first post...
here is another cloudscape using watercolour tecniques (high thinner in oils)
i guess this is my first contribution since the second :lol:

The Vast Ohio Horizon:

[D Akey]

Now let me get this straight. . .

You posted first as a first post, but posted without a painting.

Then you posted your first post with a painting, but it was actually your second post, though first since then, as we sorta clear the slate and start the counting over, while still acknowledging your fledgling posting.

But NOW, you are posting your second post to have a painting, but your third to be posted in the broadest sense of postinglyness.

So What it amounts to:

'In the beginning was the WORD'. Not 'In the beginning it was a dark and stormy night'. In the second, 'It was a dark and stormy night'. Then in the third and second, 'We find ourselves in Ohio on a mildly wet day'.

Nice painting in the third second. Phew. It's going to be a long time till be get to the seventh day, as I reckon it.



:shock:

[Grubznug]

heh, perhaps i should turn it into a series.

thanks :)

[Grubznug]

I looked out my window, saw some nice clouds, and decided to paint them befor they traveled onward.

[D Akey]

Excellent!

Love it. Good color and values, and i like the wispy bits.

:D :D :D

[shirly]

horrible sky from my side :?

[shirly]

another sky ....

[Awesomeoclock]

Yup. Here's mine.

[RobertSWade]

Well done Mitch ... and it's about time someone brought this thread back. Maybe we'll get some more skies. :)

[pai]

Never thought of this color palette for the sky and cloud. Beautiful. :)

[Rain11]

Very colorful and lovely :D

[majid]

herer is my first try whit this great app. ... just of my memory

[juliediane]

Here's my contributions

[RobertSWade]

:)

[Calin]

The most I've done were a few drawings years ago in college...color is intimidating. Here's a quick one I did this evening. Be gentle, I'm still learning the ropes. =)

[RobertSWade]

Welcome Calin. That's gorgeous ... you should put it in the main Gallery. :)

[Calin]

Thanks, Robert. =) Perhaps once I've given that pesky balloon a second go I will.

[Caesar]

Oh, here's Taron's Halloween Pumpkin flying away! :o
Good work Calin and welcome! :D :D :D

[gzairborne]

Welcome Calin, what an ethereal mist you have made. beautiful cloud work.
It is like they are sailing right through the middle of a cloud. :D

[.KFC.]

I swear it started out as a sky with clouds but ending up a blob :x

[juliediane]

Oklahoma clouds

[DaveRage]

KFC - That's really vibrant and fun, I like it! :)
Nice work, juliediane!

[RobertSWade]

Crop from a possible WIP. :)

[Orangeish]

Crop from a possible WIP. :)NICE! I love the colors here.

[Taron]

Oh my, how did I miss this thread?!? Incredible... I really thought I'd be the only cloud-crazy artist around, hehe... sweet! :D

So I cooked up a fresh new cloud for you, totally fantasy, no reference, hence it looks probably a little weird, but a great opportunity for me to find out if I've learned anything... took roughly 30 minutes.

Beautiful stuff here, though! I'm really excited about this thread! I'm surely going to post my cloudy explorations here, too, as they come rolling in, hehehe! :D

[juliediane]

Night sky.

[gioulin]

i think clouds make us feeling great

:p :D

[RobertSWade]

What a beautiful image Gioulin. Very fresh and clean. :)

[Arkadiy]

[Judith Tramayne]

Decided to give this one a try also. So here is my go at skies and clouds:

Wanted to do a soft fluffy look.

[RobertSWade]

Nice one JT. :)

[Caesar]

Here's my cloud studies on an unfinished completing piece of landscape.

[cathyd]

I painted this sky and clouds and did not know what to do with it, so I am saving it to create another painting with later.

[Peter Pinckney]

Rediscovered this thread!

I have a folder named AR Skies because I always paint the sky first which makes things easier for me as I don't use layers. Sometimes the sky is as far as it gets for the time I have and so I save and go back later to complete a painting.They are all from imagination so really the sky dictates the rest of the picture. Here are some

[Peter Pinckney]

and finally this one

[cathyd]

Nice work JT, Peter, and Caesar. :)

[shechat]

This is great fun, some fantastic skies so far

it's a very bright colorful painting..I think you did a great job on it. :)

[silvy]

This's my simple seascape.
It was 'born from itself' with 4 large roll of color (white, lilla, 2 grey) and smooth knife.
Finally two touch of white for seagulls and sail in another level.
