Exercise 1; cloud formations and tone

I enjoyed this exercise and tried out multiple mediums which all came with their own difficulties. I’d say I still need to work on my tone and practice drawing clouds more often

Here I had difficulty showing the small details and textures of the clouds and so they now look like smooth mounds.

After my second attempt at oil pastels I decided to try out watercolour instead. The could at the top came out quite well whereas the bottom ones ended up looking rather muddy.

Here I tried to go for a cloudy sunset but come out well. I should have made the tops of the clouds darker and grayer and put the colour at the bottom

Here I used the same technique as above and the clouds came out quite well but I failed to give any depth to the artwork overall.

Over here I tried to make light coming through the clouds but the clouds themselves were not very defined and so it looks more like light coming through water.

Another mistake I think I made was to make these drawings portrait and not landscape, the general composition would have been better hat way.
