Have you ever looked at the mesmerizing clouds in the sky and felt the urge to paint them? Creating clouds with pastels may seem simple, but it can be challenging.

We'll explore the intricate details between colors, the meaning of edges, shapes, and textures, light temperature, the importance of values, and the effects of atmospheric perspective.
