After finishing my last landscape illustration with the blush sky (which can be seen here) I really wanted to create another with a similar aesthetic. For this one I sketched the lake edge and hills overlooking Llangorse Lake which can be found here in the Brecon Beacons, but I wanted to go for a light teal coloured sky this time.
I enjoy painting these skies because they’re a little challenging to get the balance of colour and texture right, but they still manage to be relaxing to create.
I quite like how this came out with the teal colour contrasting against the landscape sketch, and I’m particularly pleased with how the trees in the foreground turned out!
