This is the first video in a series of six that has been designed to help you paint convincing and beautiful skies in watercolour.

In this video, I introduce you to the subject by looking at The Importance of Skies in Landscape Painting, together with Observing and Understanding Skies. The ideas that I present will provide you with a solid understanding of this essential element in landscape painting, enabling you to develop skills and techniques so that you are ready to paint skies with confidence. I paint two different skies morning and evening demonstrating the benefits of a layered approach to skies.
