101 Oil Studies, No. 10
Objective: Flat tone test; high thin clouds following "Moon and Morning Sky" photograph in my "Sky and Space" album.
Painted in 2 sessions: 02 Feb and 09 Feb 2024
Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour: Cerulean blue, lamp black, titanium white. Mediums: Gamsol, Oleogel.
Ampersand Gessobord, 12.7 x 12.7 cm (5 x 5 inches)
Process: In this miniature study, the original wash was very light, so I tried painting the sky as negative spaces between the clouds, later adding additional gestural strokes of white in the clouds.
After Action Evaluation: Clouds are way heavier than in "Moon and Morning Sky" photo. Deeping the blue initially, then adding clouds in thin glazes seems to be the better approach.
We might not have mountains in Houston but we have some pretty impressive clouds. Taken with my iPhone 5 using the Hueless app.
Mammatus clouds are some of the most unusual and distinctive clouds formations with a series of bulges or pouches emerging from the base of a cloud. The shape of mammatus formations can vary widely; from the classic protruding shape, to a more elongated tube hanging from the cloud above.
Cumulonimbus clouds are also known as thunderstorms, these clouds are huge and often unstable. Mammatus clouds often form on the most unstable cumulonimbus, meaning that there is also a chance of hail, showers and lightning in the vicinity. Sometimes mammatus may form on other cloud types which produce no rain, though this is far less common.
Mammatus comes from the Latin mamma which translates to "udder" or "breast". Their striking appearance is most visible when the sun is low in the sky and their pouches are framed by the sunlight. This supplementary feature is a firm favourite with many meteorologists and cloud enthusiasts.
The last of three. May the light of this new year bring forth warmth, abundance and and clear sight in this time of great change. This beautiful star of ours provides us with all we need. Let it not blind us to the equally powerful Darkness. Please dress in black. Peace.

BEST LARGE ON BLACK! Backing up all my images onto a new hard drive, I ran across an evenings shoot I did not develop. Can't believe I forgot these images. Here is one from that night. The clouds exploded with color as the sun set.
