I spent some time painting clouds using different techniques yesterday. Here is one that I liked well enough to finish as a gift for my husband for Fathers' Day on Sunday.

| Marsh Sunset, Jeanne Turner McBrayer, 2015 |
A highlight of our Sunset Beach vacations is always watching the sun set over Madd Inlet from the cottage on 40th Street at the end of the island.
Here are some of the other cloud studies.
Wet paint blotted with tissue.
Watercolor wash dried, then re-wet with cloth towel, and color lifted with towel.
Wash of colors for sunset clouds. This one led to the colors used in the Marsh Sunset painting at the top.
It has been extremely hot here in Raleigh, NC, this week. We are heading for the hills for the weekend. We have not been to our cabin for almost a month, and we are needing a fix, as well as a respite of cooler temperatures!
