Paint skyscapes that trade realism for feeling. You'll study how clouds move and catch light, then work with moody palettes and bold brushwork to capture where the horizon dissolves into open sky. A class about looking up, slowing down, and finding your own expressive language for the celestial.

A reflection on echoes, inheritance, and the creative threads we carry forward. Inspired by Scotland and artist Phoebe Anna Traquair, this issue explores how places, stories, images, and traditions from the past continue to shape what we create today.
