Coloring Scenery, Part 2: Skies

 Hello again, welcome back to the Stuff2Color blog! Last week we talked briefly about how to color trees. This week is a similar concept, how to color the sky.

 Like our discussion last week regarding trees being green, the sky does not always have to be "sky blue". Maybe you want to color a gray, overcast sky. Or a light purple for dusk. Or go full out and make it night by coloring the sky dark blue, black, etc. like "Pond in the Park". It's all up to you! Here's another example below of the poster "Hungry Puppy" where I colored the sky with multiple colors to create a sunrise/sunset. For the best results I use analogous colors to build up this effect in a harmonious way (check out previous post about shading/layering with markers for more explanation of this technique).

How do you like to color the sky? Any tricks you would like to share, please comment below.





Thanks for stopping by!
