Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we set our students the task of creating artwork on the subject of sky and clouds. We asked our students to turn their focus to one of nature’s most ever changing subjects … the sky! Our students have worked wonders this week! From dramatic storm clouds to soft pastel sunsets, the variety of artwork is absolutely stunning. Each piece captures a unique mood, showing just how expressive and dynamic the sky can be in art. The delicate watercolours, bold pastels, and amazing oil paintings, everyone has done a fantastic job interpreting this weekend challenge.
A huge well done to all who took part! We hope these pieces encourage others to look up and take in the beauty of the sky. Scroll down to see all the amazing pieces and don’t forget, a new challenge will be announced tomorrow!
I love painting dramatic skies, inspired by the big skies over Bodmin Moor here in Cornwall Judi HGrey sky on a windy day – Watercolour Ozlem ESky and clouds with watercolour on 10×7 in Winsor and Newton Cotman cold pressed paper.

Catherine TWe went to a wedding this Saturday in Granville, Normandy and I thought I’d take the opportunity to draw a sky there. On Sunday morning the sky looked particularly nice set against the lines of the rooftops in the old part of the city.
