Painting Clouds and Skies in Oils

Comprehensive in its coverage, the book includes plenty of examples, exercises and demonstrations.

There are also discussions of the many ways the sky presents itself and methods of working in all weathers.

There are artist profiles throughout that introduce the work of a number of guest contributors, adding a welcome variety of perspectives and interpretations.

Skies are a constantly changing subject and Mo considers bright sunshine, overcast conditions, heavy and light cloud, seasonal differences and sunsets.

It's hard to think of anything else you might want to find here - even the differing merits of working outdoors or in the studio.

The sheer scope of the book means that it won't be a quick read, but the breadth and depth of the coverage mean that you're unlikely to find yourself wanting more.

If you paint skies, you need this book, maybe even if you don't paint in oils!
