Painting the Feeling of a Prairie Summer Sky | Watercolour Tutorial

Clouds. Humidity. Soft summer light. In this watercolour tutorial, I paint an atmospheric prairie sky inspired by the feeling of a local warm summer afternoon. Using subtle colour layering, soft cloud transitions, and atmospheric perspective, I explore how less can often say more in a landscape painting. This painting was fun to do, and I still think the sky sets the tone! Whether you're interested in painting skies, atmospheric landscapes, or simply enjoy the meditative nature of watercolour, I hope you enjoy painting along with me!
