30 Day Painting Challenge - Day 30 Process Video
Last painting of the challenge! This is in real time. You'll see how I use mark making to suggest detail and the softness of the clouds.
This challenge really put me to the test. Dedication and focus on the finish line, rather than the obstacles, is how I completed the challenge. Will I do this again the future? Maybe, but not for some time. My plan for now is to focus more on in depth videos where I explain my approach and thought process.
Let me know what you'd like to see next from me in the comments below. Thank you all for watching this series.

This painting was done in less than an hour. Some paintings don't need to be overly complicated but maybe instead a play of color and values. I loved creating a sense of bright light in the middle with varying shades of yellow and white. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

Back to smaller paintings for the rest of the challenge as my mind was becoming exhausted. This painting was kept to analogous colors to create harmony through out.

This painting was a joy to create. A lot things just flowed. I used a accumulation of techniques; wet on wet, dry brushing over areas and the palette knife in the foreground. The shadow in the background and the illuminate foreground shows the distance and magnitude of the clouds. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

This painting was a bit tricky. The foreground and some of the clouds had indirect light on them. Had to keep the values similar as to not loose the illusion of light coming from behind them. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

Painting reflections of the sunset on the water can be hard. Especially if that water isn't calm. The choppiness of the surface can make it difficult to know where you need to reflect what is above it. I use a simple block in method to make sure my reflections correspond to what is above before I add in the darker spots of the water. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings...

My largest painting in the challenge. With a piece this big, I'll use a variety of techniques to complete it. From the ink wash under-painting, to a dry block in with the pastels. I'll move around starting at the top. If I'm uncertain of an area, I'll work around it or move to a new area and then come back to it later when it's clearer to me on how to proceed. You'll notice the cloud on the lef...

One of my larger paintings in this challenge. I go big with the shapes and colors of this beautiful sunset over the foothills. I start off with an ink wash, with Derwent Inktense Sticks. Then I lay over with a basic block-in. With so much detail in the painting, you can get lost and miss out on the bigger picture. Watch how I focus on each section, but keep the values similar so as not to lose ...

A bit of an abstract cloud painting. With no ground to signal this is a sky with clouds, I'm left with abstract shapes and colors to invoke an mood of late evening. Playing with secondary colors, I focus more on shape and color relationship rather than accuracy of the clouds. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

I think this may have to be one of my favorite paintings so far. The soft clouds melding into the cumulus clouds beneath is always a challenge but so satisfying once complete. Keeping your value close together in these areas will give the illusion of softness. 🎨 The Challenge: I'm challenging myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days.

An evening sunset looking in the opposite direction to see the moon rise. You'll see me place the moon vertically in the middle of my painting, which I'm sure a lot of you heard don't put your main area of interest in the middle. That's more of a guideline, not a set rule. You just need to make sure you balance out of the rest of your painting and guide your viewer around with other interesting...

An early morning sunrise over the ocean.

Painting white clouds and sun rays against a blue sky can be daunting. Add a layer of additional clouds and it can get complicated. Breaking the painting into sections can help simplify the process.

Sometimes is good to just paint only the clouds, no land.

Another winter sunrise but this time with some warmer tones in the sky. This plays nicely off the cool distant clouds at the bottom and the melting snow in the foreground. You see towards the end how I start and redo the foreground.

    the underpainting before you used the pastel... was it made with the same pastels or with other medium (acrylic/gouache)?

    • @amandamcleodart
      @amandamcleodart 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi @nukhbahsany9712, for the underpainting I used Derwent Inktense sticks and made an ink wash on the paper before I mounted it to a foam core board. I like these better as they don't mix with water once they're dry.
