See, this is why daily painting is so cool. I can see a beautiful Degas sketch on Pinterest, and because he's awesome but from a long time ago I can say ooh, beautiful, I've got to try that! Of course his was a pastel on sanded paper that was already that golden color, and I deliberately painted the panel that color to sketch over it.... but it is still a beautiful affect. I think part of the appeal is that the cloud is so nice and round, but with the edges of the painting showing, there's a very real reminder that you're just looking at an image.... I dunno. But that's what I'm thinking right now. And it's something I definitely want to keep experimenting with!
