The Joy of Clouds

Eric Sloane, homespun writer and artist, offers gentle advice on creating realistic clouds in graphite or pastel.He covers cloud "geography," realistic shading and shaping, and various types of realistic clouds. Sloane's knowledge of weather and meteorology gives him extra insight into why clouds form the way they do, and when to use certain types.The instructions are largely designed for readers with some previous drawing experience (it doesn't teach the basics of drawing).I also find that the instructions can be logically adapted to pen & ink, pastel, and even paint.Recommended for any art instruction library.

Just a neat book

I really wanted to give it 5 stars because I simply like it. It uses illustratoin techniques that are no longer used today. The book is a reprint from the 50s. You can feel the author's love for clouds and the sky. I found it useful and I learned some new things about making clouds. But I will give it 4 stars because I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking that this book will turn you an instant cloud artist. Much work and study and a dash of love like Eric Sloane had is necessary for that. But this book is a fun book to look at and to own, and the price is right.

Drawing made easy......

I have always loved this author's plain work and easy style both as an artist and a meteorologist. Here, he is the artist, describing in his own way the best way to draw clouds and skyscapes. While it is a thin book, it is packed with detail on how to depict clouds and weather in an easy to follow format. This is one book I would recommend for those seeking to enhance their knowledge of the sky.

Not what I expected

This is a very advanced and complex book. I was hoping for something easy to follow for beginners

The Expert.

You have to give it up to Eric Sloan. Always the best sky man, but ever interesting too.

Lots of information in a short book

Mr. Sloane teaches in succinct diagrams and text. His information opened my eyes to see the changes in color as clouds move farther away. Additionally, he includes valuable instruction about composing skies to support a landscape.
