Watercolour on Paper

This one is all about the sky. Driving home from Boonah in QLD I was captivated by the cloud formations up above. To me it looked like billowing transparent silk cloth and it was breathtaking. I just had to try painting it. Using wet on wet technique for the clouds and fields but dry brush for the silhoutted trees. The beauty is in the simplicity of the landscape making the sky the hero.
