Wild Watercolour skies

Had fun trying this idea for glowing skies - Idea and technique from Uma Kelkar on Vivify.ai. I worked on cheap quarter sheet cold press paper. The pushing of the clouds worked really well when I used some pigments, not so well with others. Worked well with Hansa Yellow Medium + Holbein Vermillion. Not so well when I used Monte Amiata Natural Sienna and Naples Yellow. I think my mix was too heavy, or those pigments are too dense, and they didn't flow down as well, no matter how much water I flushed on top. And yes, I did get impatient, and I used a water spray to push some of the pigment further, rather than letting it be!
