It’s a common challenge capturing the power and drama of a storm without losing the subtle beauty that lies within it. Many artists find it difficult to balance the rich tones and contrasts of stormy skies, often ending up with a result that feels more depressing than dynamic.
In this online masterclass, I’ll show you exactly how to bring stormy skies to life with depth, colour, and movement. You’ll learn my personal techniques to create loose expressive storm clouds, full of energy, and colour. Together, we’ll explore how to infuse your painting with emotion, without overpowering the scene or making it feel too heavy.
Whether you’re new to painting stormy clouds or have tried and struggled with them, this session will help you break through common obstacles. I'll guide you through every step of the process, offering practical tips and feedback to help you overcome the frustration of dull or overly dark skies.
Join me LIVE on Sunday 3rd of November at 4.30 pm and let’s transform your stormy sky paintings into works that capture both drama and beauty with confidence.
