Day/Clouds - Nosy Crow Skip to content

This watercolour painting is called ‘On the Downs at Hastings’ and was painted by Richard Redgrave. Many artists like Richard Redgrave climb the English South Downs to paint the beautiful sea below.

Clouds are made of water droplets that form when air cools. As the air cools more, the droplets get bigger. The cloud grows so heavy that its droplets fall as rain.
