A much simpler composition today. I needed a break from drawing all those foliage and structures. LOL.The clouds however were no easier, I will say. The brunt of the heavy lifting came from the "cloud" brush on CSP, but I also used the dry gouache brush and the gouache blender brush for smoothing out a lot of the textures of the clouds. It was tricky at first, but once I figured it out, it came a little easier.I saw a really cool picture on the net of a hiker along an ocean of clouds today that inspired this image, it looks like it was taken with a film camera.

And it really reminded me one day when I was hiking myself over the Adirondacks. I seeing something similar one morning, and I remember being in awe of how far the morning fog stretched. I wanted to capture a similar feeling with this painting. Like, an ocean of clouds.I'd like to think they're sharing a sentimental moment with one another one quiet morning.Their world is vast, and at sometimes lonely.But they have one another.And that's all that matters.
