Grizzly Peak Landscape Sketches

I am really enjoying Shari Blauskopf's Craftsy course on Sketching Landscapes. I went out today to Grizzly Peak in Berkeley to sketch the amazing views from up there. I suspect it's my small brushes (small squirrel mop and size 10 Kolinsky sable) are to blame for my skies not coming out quite right (too many blooms), but I will be getting an Escoda Versatil size 16 and a Rosemary & Co. squirrel mop in size 6 in the next few days. I will tell you if they make a big difference when I get them.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!!
