1 . Create a Power Point presentation with examples of cloudscape paintings found online ( search for “ cloud landscape ” online ) and cloudscape photography . Use examples from the lesson to create a step-by-step Powerpoint presentation or print out for students to use as reference images as they work .
2 . Provide 1-2 color copies of the example image per table or project the image onto a screen in the classroom .
3 . Explain to students how , due to the atmosphere , the sky color appears lighter towards the horizon - therefore their sky should be a gradation from light ( at the skyline ) to darker as it moves away from the land .
Explain how the time of day / lighting affects the shadows on the clouds . Make sure students understand that the land mass will be darker because of the back lighting form .
4 . Hold a teacher driven demonstration of how to apply and blend PanPastel ( basic techniques at PanPastel . com ).
