That turbulent spring sky...

The other day I couldn't find Rumi for a while and had to go looking:

I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

Yessssss Jala, estás creciendo en estos estudios de cielos, me gusta
I love the way the blue is showing through the grey clouds. This is really beautiful, the colours are spot on for the sky too. I think pastels must be an ideal medium for painting the sky. I may need to look back on your older posts to see what kind of pastels you are using. I am also wondering what a pastelmat is. Could you get this wonderful effect on paper or is the surface of the pastelmat very different.
Beautiful sky study, Jala!!
Hola Fernando, muchas gracias. Espero aprender algo. :)
Hi Caroline - I have definitely been feeling that there can't be a better medium for sky painting than pastels. It really does seem an ideal match of medium and subject matter.
My favorite pastels are Unison, from England. They can be ordered online from many sources. To me they have the most interesting and most subtle colors, and also the most consistent texture.
Pastelmat is a brand of pastel paper (it's sort of a thick soft unusual paper) from France. It can be ordered online from the Dakota Pastels website. It is a fairly new product which holds an amazing quantity of pastel. I don't use fixative so this surface works very well.
Thank you for your interest!
Thanks, Marian!
Love the sky holes in this one! beautiful!
This is an interesting departure from your other work...reversal of figure/ground (sky?) I know these clouds that come over the front range after being popped and bumped around by the mountains!
Thank you Jala, I will look up the materials you used for your beautiful sky paintings.
The sky couldn't be that blue without the gray curtain. Makes for dizzying dimension!
Che is everywhere.
One of the most vivid ones yet! The sky just never quits it's beauty, does it?
