A fantastic artist, proving once again that what is in the mind's eye is what makes it ultimately to the finished painting. Whether he subtracts sections, cuts it up, or changes the horizon, or cuts short the pleasure of painting details. In the end you get a result that is a product of a particular artistic viewpoint. There will never be a video you put out that I won't watch multiple times. Thank you!
Thank you for showing how to overcome mistakes and showing details of how you reversed these problems and also reminding us to take a step back, look at our composition and edit, edit, edit! You are a master and I’m so very thankful I found your site!
Beautiful work and love that you include mistakes and how to rectify them. Agree with Werewolf a couple of posts above re the painters tape. Down here in Oz I’ve worked out that the yellow Frogtape brand is excellent for working on paper and board/mdf and the green Frogtape for working on canvas. Cheers Mike
A beautiful painting and great tutorial. Thank you! I love details, when I first began painting I would do a little and then put on the details, it didn't work because the depth and everything else was not accomplished! I had to learn to build up the painting first then add the details last...and not too much like you said, or the eyes had no place to rest because it was too busy. My horses had to go without finishing the eyes first! That was a challenge for me because the eyes are my focus most of the time and I always wanted the painting to look "prettier" too soon. 🖌️🎨
Thank you! You describe the process of painting the details too soon so well. It's exactly like you say: you want the paining to look prettier too soon. I let myself go every now and then, just for he fun of it, knowing all to well they probably won't last.
Thank you for showing, that you should never give up, even though it dosn´t work the first time. What i learned so far painting realism, is to have a pretty amound of patience.
Thanks, Tore. I'm not really a patient person, but working on a painting that I'm dissatisfied with, feels a bit like having a pebble in my shoe. I just have to get it out.
Amazing work as always, along with being a relaxing way to spend the late morning or early afternoon. Many thanks Janhendrik, your incredible artwork inspires my own.
lovely painting! I learnt a lot there especially about colours. I wish I too could think ahead about the layers and whats going to be acheived by them,,, and build the painting up bit by bit!. I really dont know how to do that. Usually I will paint something... for example lets say a cloud... and if it doesnt work out,,, i try to resolve it while wet. Or sometimes I will go back in when dry, but its usually just to correct the mistake. Watching you paint is like watching a game of chess.
Yes, the technique I use requires a bit of planning. In my tutorial Painting Clouds for Beginners (available at www.paintingskies.com/video) I explain in 3 steps how to paint clouds. Could be helpful...
Jan, do you often use photo references for your works or are the subjects from your imagination? It’s creative to concoct an ocean scene but artists living near salt water have a huge advantage. I dream of coastlines but have no recent memories of them.
I have quite the photo archive of clouds, beaches and dunes. It often starts with a picture of a cloud formation, sometimes taken from the car (when I'm not at the wheel). In my archive I then search for pictures to go with it and I make a digital photo collage in Photoshop. This collage serves as the starting point for the painting. Which can turn out totally different in the end.
Excellent, as always. You may want to consider tape house painters use; I'm not sure they have it in your country. But it is not so sticky. It makes me nervous to see you peel the masking tape off!
Hoi Janhendrik, hier in Nederland kan je Tesa tape kopen: neem dan de roze variant, voor delicaat schilderwerk. Werkt een stuk beter bij het verwijderen, want het plakt minder! Bij de praxis.👍
This is brilliant..I actually got a little tense when you had some misfortune and changing your mind..but it's excellent and a great educational video too
Thank you! Changing my mind has become easier through the years. When there's something I don't like in a painting, it's like a pebble in my shoe. Can't ignore it.
Banging the brush (as you zo eloquently call it) can be very helpful in painting smooth gradients. On a small surface like this painting it's not that obvious, but on larger sizes it definitely is.
You are incredible, I’m so glad to be your patron. Amazing work as usual
Glad you like it. Thanks for being my patron!

Thank you, Berrie, so very pleased you enjoyed it!
I love how you correct your painting as you go along. Always a pleasure to watch you technique and the wonderful work
Thank you. Good to hear you appreciate me showing the corrections!

A classic illustration how to paint a magnificient spread of clouds in the sky. You are a true academic, thanks for sharing this video.
My pleasure, thank you!
Cannot learn enough .
You are a Great painter.
The blues you use in your sky and clouds always turn out astonishing.
Thanks, Don! Good to hear you like the blues.

Thanks for the tip, though I'm not sure Frogtape is available in Holland. Will check it out!

I have the same problem with sparkles on the water. But if I dont have the right underlying shadows and light places on the water, they don’t last.
Wow! You sure like to paint dangerously! Beautiful result.
I'd rather not, Mike... Glad you like the result!
It is lovely to see light and the sky amongst the the most hopeless drivel of all years on youtube. Truly refreshing. Thank you :)
Thank you, Louise, that's very encouraging!
You are most welcome @@PaintingSkies1

@@PaintingSkies1 I´m not very patient either....lol, but i feel just the same as you. If i´m not satisfied, why shuold the customer.
Exactly!@@Tore1972Wisdom
Very nice. I like how much work a simple dark glaze can do for you. It really reinforced the sense of depth.
Yes, great eh? With just a few strokes...
Amazing work as always, along with being a relaxing way to spend the late morning or early afternoon.
Many thanks Janhendrik, your incredible artwork inspires my own.
That's great to hear, Paul, thanks!
You proved to be best always with your work.Superb and Inspiring...
Thank you, Amit!

Obrigado, você é muito gentil!
Brilliant! Beautiful painting. I cringed when the tape pulled off the top layer of the paper but you managed to save it.
Thank you, Deborah. To be honest I cringed too...

One more time awesome work...
Thank you, Amit!
Great lesson! Thank you!!
My pleasure, Karl, thanks!
Truly amazing artist
Thanks, Robin!
Awesome that’s beautiful
Thank you, Parker!
The adhesive on masking tape can be re-activated with heat. Slowly heat the tape with your hairdryer and it will peel of cleanly.
That's a great tip, thanks Tamara!
Beautiful!❤👏
Thank you, Mary!

Thanks, Mike. It sometimes makes me nervous too! Unfortunately we don't have tape house in Holland. I'll just be careful...
@@PaintingSkies1 check your local hardware that sells house painting supplies
Thanks for the tip, John.Will do!@@johnstamos5579

Dankjewel, Fred, geweldige tip. Ga ik kopen!
I find using a hairdryer, not too hot will help peel tape off
That's great tip. Thanks!
magnificent
You're very kind, Scott, thank you!
Genial,

Thanks, Peter, glad you appreciate them!
Thank you for adding in your faux pas, mistakes are as important as masterpieces. 👍
You're so right Peter, thanks!

Thanks, Howie!
Banging the brush is not necessary and is the reason im not following.
Banging the brush (as you zo eloquently call it) can be very helpful in painting smooth gradients. On a small surface like this painting it's not that obvious, but on larger sizes it definitely is.
@@PaintingSkies1 ok I'll give it a try. You're a fantastic painter. Thank you for your kind response 😊
