cloud studies!! I'm more used to doing clouds with watercolours/gouache so this was quite the fun challenege!
I think I've still got a lot of room to improve but I'm otherwise pretty content with it

John Constable (RA), 'Study of Clouds', 1822.
'Study of Clouds' England 1822 Oil on paper
In 1822 a fast-moving cloud would have been the very fastest thing a man had seen: faster than a horse, a ship or even Richard Trevithick's new steam locomotives. John Constable had an ecstatic approach to nature, but it was also a scientific one. One of the very first painters to distinguish cloud types, he worked in parallel to Luke Howard whose 1802 lecture 'On the Modification of Clouds' began the serious study of the sky. Constable's written notes reveal both an artistic liveliness and a technical precision (some of it borrowed from Howard), but when he said 'I have done a good deal of skying' he suggests an almost supra-natural mysticism. To Constable, painting was an intensely emotional activity: its beauty at first in the mind, then in the hand and lastly in the eye.
