Join local artist d’Arci Bruno to learn the different techniques, tips, and materials you can use to get over your Nephophobia (Fear of Clouds) and learn to paint them like a BOSS!
In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol ( a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles in gas ) consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space. In artworks, they add interest , movement and atmosphere to a painting. Clouds are also a perfect way to add perspective and scale to your painting. Trying to paint clouds can be intimidating and hard to get right.
