A series of five tutorial video lessons with full step by step guidance in how to paint this colourful early dawn sky with the moon shining through the pink clouds.
The five video lessons combine to make up a 1 hour 41 minutes tutorial with full tuition at every stage of the painting process.
Every project that we publish has a printable guide explaining everything in detail from the materials required through to and including instructions on how to progress through each stage.
Included within the printable guide is a high-resolution photograph. In this project it’s a photo I took on the highest point on the Island of Easdale just south of Oban looking over at the Isle of Mull headland in the distance. It was a really colourful early morning full of pink clouds against a cool blue grey sky.
