clouds

Among other things, I've been working on clouds...as it is not my usual predilection, this is also good high-key (that is, an image with predominantly lighter values) practice for me.

Also, just got a couple of new brushes which I'm really liking...a 14 round and 1/2" flat from Escoda, both synthetic Kolinsky...I have a couple of others from Escoda which are also quite nice synthetics, and which I still quite like, but these new ones seem to hold more pigment and are a little less stiff.
