Rain Clouds

Walking Home
Watercolour on Paper
15cm x 24cm (6" x 9.5")

 Rain Clouds is the second topic in the Skies and Weather chapter of Creating Textures in Pen & Ink with Watercolor by Claudia Nice.

The approach is similar to the one Claudia used for Cumulus Clouds, but with darker colours. Claudia finished her examples with ink work to darken the cloud shadows and indicate rain, but currently, I prefer to stick with watercolour. 

This is the end of a walk in April 2009 - we set out in the morning, had lunch in the Horse Chestnut and are hoping to get home before it gets much darker or starts raining.
