The sky sets the theme for color in the landscape. Painting convincing illusions of distance in a sky gives any landscape painting either a fabulous focus or a dramatic backdrop. The spatial strategies needed are specific to the sky and are not the same as those used for the land aspect of a landscape. These differences are clearly enunciated.Mood is obviously the most exciting aspect when painting a sky and discussion of tone and how this is the key to produce magical moods.Finally the book discusses composition and how a sky can be the total focus, a background or how a reflective segment of sky can add interest in an image that does not technically have room for a sky above the landscape.This is the last volume in a series of 10 ebooks in the "Painting with Ev Hales". It is another ebook full of ideas, instruction and inspiration. Reinforcing the value of en plein air painting for this subject, it is a fitting way to complete this collection of ebooks.
