I feel fairly confident that I can draw many things – but not clouds! I can make a fluffy shape look like a cloud in illustrations but they are not the fabulous formations that develop above us in the sky. So I want to practice drawing clouds with other mediums than my usual pen line and coloured pencils that I use for my illustrations! I’ll show them here asap….BUT, yesterday I couldn’t resist quickly sketching these ‘comical clouds’ as they sailed passed the window, changing shape within seconds!

Ze zijn prachtig én leuk!
Thankyou!!
I just saw that I spelt ‘tongue pooking’ wrong as it should be ‘tongue poking’!!
I must admitt I was also inspired by one of the Peanut gang dialogues from years ago:
Lucy Van Pelt: Aren’t the clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton. I could just lie here all day and watch them drift by. If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud’s formations. What do you think you see, Linus?
Linus Van Pelt: Well, those clouds up there look to me look like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean. [points up] That cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor. And that group of clouds over there… [points] …gives me the impression of the Stoning of Stephen. I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side.
Lucy Van Pelt: Uh huh. That’s very good. What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?
Charlie Brown: Well… I was going to say I saw a duckie and a horsie, but I changed my mind.
