I’m dipping my toe back into the watercolor pond with these two sketches. I am trying to reproduce the cloud patterns from an early photo (see reference photo below).

In the second sketch, I tried to give up some control back to the water.

I think these are beautiful. The medium is so well suited to the subject and I like the looseness of your strokes.
Thank you, Claudia. It is awkward getting back to this medium. I appreciate your kind words.
You’re welcome. I know what you mean, returning to an old friend means getting reacquainted, right?
Yes, getting reacquainted, and approaching it differently (unlike talking about old times with the friend). I started to look up how others painted clouds but abandoned it and tried my own way from the basics that I remember.
I like that. A new relationship but based on the past.
