The sky can also be adorned by bright sun, illuminating and piercing through the clouds, creating vibrant sun rays and unforgettable sunsets. The sun and its rays breathe life into the sky, adding additional shades and reflections.
In addition to clouds and the sun, the nighttime sky can also be adorned by stars, the moon, and various atmospheric phenomena such as rainbows or lightning. These elements bring extra magic and mystique to the celestial palette.
When drawing the sky, it is important to notice and convey all these details and nuances in order to immerse oneself in its boundless beauty and create an artwork that reflects its wonders. The diversity of colors, shapes, and textures allows us to express moods, emotions, and memories associated with the sky.
