The way one is "supposed" to paint with watercolor is to create a wash in the background as the sky. A wash is a thin veil of paint, mostly water and just a touch of paint pushed around on the paper. I did something entirely different- and maybe to an art teacher it might be called wrong. What I did was to build layer upon layer of paint to make the sky. I mostly used blues, and then ended with white paint to do the clouds. I feel kind of guilty when I know what the accepted technique is and I just do not do it that way... but this is just the way I paint sometimes. Don't get me wrong. I make the sky using a wash sometimes. I guess I just do not want to be limited by certain techniques and rules.
