How To Paint Sky Holes

One of the challenges artists face when painting landscape scenes with tree-filled skies is figuring out how to paint realistic sky holes as they occur inside and around the trees. The struggle is real!

Students in my landscape workshops will often bombard me with questions related to this topic:

·      “Should I paint every little speck of sky that I see through the trees?”

·      “Which part should I paint first, the sky or the tree?”

·      “Do I paint the leaves of the trees on top of the sky to create the sky holes?” 

The resounding sentiment is, “Tell me what to do about sky holes!!!”

No more will these little bursts of light through the trees haunt us with questions. Because in this video lesson, I’m going to show you how to navigate the troublesome topic of sky holes with confidence and direction. Ready to cut through the confusion and paint convincing sky holes that are both loose and realistic?
