Clouds Painting Project

"Blustery Skies" by Don Beer. 2.5x3.5" (Art Trading Card). Watercolor.

From the Artist: Cumulus clouds filling the sky ahead of a coming storm.

From the Painting Guide: This trading card will make a fabulous addition to a collection -- if you could face parting with it!

Things to Consider When Looking at This Painting:
Format: Artist Trading Cards are by definition tiny paintings, with a defined size (unlike a miniature which has a set maximum size). But just because a painting's small, doesn't mean that things such as good composition don't apply. Look for the implementation of both the rule of thirds and use of an odd number of elements, for instance. Also how the composition leads the eye around the painting, through the curved foreground, the placement of the birds and the clouds.
