Summer in the Netherlands
We are having a strange summer here in the Netherlands. Usually we have fairly cool tempatures with a lot of rain untill early Juni. Then a few nice hot days. Then it gets a bit cooler again and in late August early September we again have some hot days.
This year is very different. In May and June we had exceptionally warm days. Much hotter then the usual summer. After that everbody expected the summer to be very hot but it isn’t. We haven’t had this much rain in years.

The rain is also very much different then what we are used to.
If it rains in the summer we ussual will have rain over the whole of the Netherlands and in will last for a few days.
This year that isn’t the case. Instead we have very strong rain at a few square mile radius and a few kilometers futher its dry.
You can literally drive out of a shower.

The nice thing about these small showers is that it gives a very nice sky. A bit of cumulus in the foreground and thunder clouds in the background.
After having found that there is no technique that’s both easy and practical for the drawing of light colored details against a dark background I thought this was a nice change to do quit sketch of white clouds against a blue background.

At least that was the plan. But when I tried I found that I didn’t know what clouds looked like.
