The sky is the limit ?

Through the  variation of the Dutch weather we are by times blessed with  fantastic sky views!
Especially in autumn and winter the clouds and sky can be awesome.
It is always fun to give it a go on drawing that !
Here some of my skies.................... well not my skies.
My drawings of  some skies that is.

The first drawing was on a cloudy day with some sun.
I did not use lines , just watercolor.

For the next drawing , a few days after the last one, I used some pencil lines.
There was a kind of haze  over the fields and hardly any clouds in the sky, very difficult to grab that in a drawing, especially with temperatures  a few degrees above freezing.

On a traintrip on dec the 16 th 2017 I drew some skies from the view out of the trainwindow in 4 little drawings.
Starting at the right hand top of the page ( I am a lefty) It was quite dark but on my next drawing there is some light appearing..  At the last drawing ( left -under) ther is a burst of sunlight, reflected back  by the clouds. Hard to get , but fun to do !
