cloud – AJAiken

A Room With a View

Here’s a glimpse from my office window. Sometimes the view is so beautiful I take pictures instead of working …

My laptop, after four years of faithful service, has gone on a freezing and shutting-down spree. Despite being completely wiped, it’s still acting up … and I now can’t use Photoshop or my tablet. Today’s sky sketch was created on my phone!

Pieces of Sky #14

Quick pencil study.

Pieces of Sky #13

Again, lots of cloud – but this time I’ve tried painting it a bit differently.

Pieces of Sky #12

Some sunshine, some cloud.

Pieces of Sky #11

Light shining through clouds. Very cloudy, but little rain. Using my iPhone I often create slow-motion videos, but this is the first time I’ve tried time-lapse: you can see the result below!

Pieces of Sky #10

I was ready to paint a glorious square of blue. Then I saw how light from the city was glowing in the clouds.

Pieces of Sky #7

There was a lot of cloud cover today. I drew this using a couple of brushes from Kyle T. Webster’s Real Watercolours set. I recently treated myself to them and they’re great fun to use. Plus they have the bonus of “Undo”!

Pieces of Sky #6

One thing I’m hoping to take from this project is that I become extremely good at painting clouds.

Pieces of Sky #2

I paid more attention to the sky today. Though most of the time it was completely cloudy, there was one moment when the cloud thinned just enough for the sun to be seen as a white disc. This one I drew on my phone, using an app called Sketch Club!
