Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Very informative!!! 🙂
Spraying the canvas is an awesome idea! I’ve never seen anyone do that
before. I will be purchasing a spray bottle first thing tomorrow!!! 🙂
I know you said you painted the clouds with a #8 bristle, but can you tell
me what manufacturer? I’m just not sure I have any brushes that will work
and want to be sure I get the right ones 🙂
Thanks, again!!! I will be looking forward to more videos!!!

I have a question. I very eagerly want to start using acrylics and I’m
confused on what to buy. What do you suggest for a beginner. I have
experience with art tho, I have only used watercolor and pencil so far but
what to start acrylics. Tips? And also what is the water used for 🙂 thank
you

You broached “overworking a painting”, and I can ‘sing a song about it’, as
we say in German. It easily happens to me, and I could slap myself.
Katie Dotson March 3, 2015
Thank you. I have watched other videos but found them short and hurried.
This video allowed me to watch the steps, the techniques, and your verbal
instructions along the way made so much more sense.
Patty Beardsley March 3, 2015
Thank you!! By far the best lesson I’ve ever had! You saved me! I was
commissioned to do a piece of art for our State Legislature and need to
have it finished in 4 days.

Do you think I can achieve a similar result w non bristle brushes or must I
get my hands on some ??
Linda Yates March 3, 2015
Thanks for the lesson. You are a great teacher. You only talk when
necessary, thank goodness!!!
How do you get your brushes to stand up? I can’t wait to try fluffy clouds
and I loved the time you spent on mixing colours. Thanks so much!!!!! Linda

Just getting back into painting with acrylics after a long break… (none
of the painting classes at my university concentrate on them – only oils,
watercolor and gouache!). After watching your tutorial and a few others, I
just realized that my high school art teacher didn’t teach me ANYTHING
about how to use acrylic paints!!! No wonder I always felt like I had so
much trouble with this medium.
Thank you for posting such a detailed break down of your process!

i was painting something slightly different but it was really nice to paint
with you. and it was helpful as well.

I’m new to the world of art/painting. So forgive my naïve question(s). The
brushes you use seem stiff. Is that the way they come, or do you treat them
to get them stiff? And why would one want to use stiff bristled brushes?
Clinton Wilcox March 3, 2015
I did the lesson using a simple, free paint app. It worked out fantastic.
Thanks.

I’ve watched so many ‘How to paint clouds’ videos for weeks now but you
actually show exactly how to do it. Thank you! I really enjoyed it and I’m
going to start all over again (because I messed my first attempt at cloud
painting up…) I’m looking forward to more of your lessons!

You paint clouds better than I can paint a canvas black.
Richard Birkett March 3, 2015
I love your camera set-up. Its just like Iam painting it myself. I learnt
to paint with oils, but switched to acrylics because they a don’t stink
like oils. The bigger the oil paintings are the worse it gets.
Acrylics don’t have the respect they deserve and they dry quicker. I do
miss the tactile impasto of oils though. I use an impasto medium in acrylic
but its just not the same.

Your simple clouds look better than anything i’ve painted in the past.
Neerraj Pathak March 3, 2015

highlighting part of the clouds. it was very insightful. to share your
mastery with us all is very kind of you. i felt right there with you
painting along. i have just started painting and painting few paintings
with clouds but your technic is awesome. will improve after this video for

very much!

I watched this entire video, bored at work, and can’t wait to get home and
try it. 🙂

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have hundreds of photographs of
clouds and have always loved cloud gazing so I am particularly interested
in learning how to paint them.
