I am not new to acrylic painting but have struggled with blending skies. You are right about adding water in the tacky stage, I’ve made a hot mess of it more than once 🙄and there’s no fixing it, at least not that I’m aware of. I will also need to use a lot more paint. Thanks for generously sharing so many useful tips and techniques and clearly demonstrating your process. So helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial! I've painted many skies but am getting ready to do my largest painting yet. Something for our home, and really want to get the sky right. I live in Colorado and some days, on a clear day the deep blue is so amazing! Wish I could send you a photo here of the deep ble sky against my wildflowers on my property! So beautiful! Thank you again for all you do!😊🌷
I don't know if you will see this comment after so long, however, this is what I needed to know how to do. This is a fabulous tutorial for a beginner like myself. I want to paint this background and then add a tree, with branches with green small leaves. This video in itself will help me a lot. Thank you so much.
@@cinderblockstudios I went out purchased a combo of 2 Artist Stretched Canvas, 100% Cotton Acid-Free White Canvas, 24"X 30", 2 Pieces- With your lessons, I will do sky with a similar tree. After which I will put 3D-butterflies. This will be one of the backdrops for the new photo studio I am putting together. Thanks again. I do loom knitting and then photograph the projects in front of the backdrops. When a person retires, you have to keep busy.
Thank you so much. The best tutorial ever..... I am new to acrylics and learned so much about painting skies. Every bit of information from the beginning to end is necessary for a novice like me..............soooooo don't skip the details.
Thank you for this video - it really helped me paint a “cloudless sky” for my beach scene. Great tip about using more paint always vs less and dry brushes for blending!!!
WOW...who knew? Great tutorial...oh my goodness, you are an incredible artist, and so easy to follow. Thank you so very much for your talent and your time. This is just what I needed to see!
Thank you! This is helpful. I'm working on a blue sky right now and I cant get it to blend like this. I'm a beginner afraid to use my paint lol. I'm going to use much more paint
Ohh a zip lock bag for storing paint hmmm I would not of tried that lol I think when you study nature and bring it into the painting you bring a richness to what the eye experiences be it realism or not. What kind of spray paint you use with acrylic ? Winks Lisa
I use Liquitex Professional spray so I can use it indoors without odor issues. The caps tend to clog a little easier due to the formulation, but not having to stop working, go outside, spray, then wait an hour for it to fully dry really helps.
Dear sir do I have to to mix some black in burnt umber for tree branches ,or direct burnt umber brown colour. Be'coz I am painting this on wall will it be smooth or just patchy. Do suggest how much water drops. Thanks rims1
Never heard of Camlin (must be a regional product for you). The liquitex basics I'm just not a fan of at all, and their cerulean blue is a "hue" which means it's not true cerulean and is instead a mix of colors to replicate true cerulean. In most mixes of cerulean hue it's a phthalo blue and a titanium white. If you're getting the Camlin I'd highly suggest getting the heavy body ones rather than one of the sets.
Dear sir I don't have cerulean blue. But saw video of how to make cerulean blue. It was with titanium white , crimson red, ultramarine blue all mixed together to make cerulean blue. If I make this blue in acrylic the colour dries faster how to prevent from not drying before in use. Which strokes u do to paint. Pls let me knw. Thanks rims1
Hello! New to painting after 2 years! When I try this, my brush seems to pick back up the paint on the canvas especially around the edges when I swipe back and forth, leaving me with blotches and streaks all over the canvas. Any tips?? I used a cheap canvas (artist loft from Michael’s) and the same paints from 2 years ago (craft smart) I’m hoping to get back into painting and investing some money in good quality paints if that was my issue!
Ah ok so the use of the "craft smart" paint tells me everything. Craft paints as a whole aren't designed to be used on canvas for fine art purposes and are a poor excuse for acrylic paints. Their house brand "Artist's Loft Level 1" would be closer to what you'd want to be using for canvas work. Generally speaking though investing in some higher end paints will solve most of your problems. Cheap paints as a whole have HUGE issues with application on canvas for even the most basic and simple painting techniques. If you can swing the extra cash I'd recommend a starter color theory set from Liquitex, Golden, Utrecht, Blick, or Winsor & Newton
Cinder Block Studios thank you so much! This was very helpful! I also used artist loft left 1 paints but those as well didn’t work that great. I’ll defiantly be purchasing some good quality paints! Would you say the artist loft canvases are good as well? In Canada that’s the only brand my craft store sells
While blending light colour u blend in crisscross manner quickly which I didn't understand. So I will be gr8ful to u if u guide me in blending colours on canvas with straight strokes.
I don't quite understand how you're struggling here. All I can say is that you can't force experience on yourself by reading comments. Just paint and figure out what works for you. Everyone's process is different. You will not be able to blend perfectly when you first start. You'll have to fail at it for several times in order to learn what will work best for you. Every painting is a learning experience, so if you're not painting and just asking then you're not really learning.
They are like tiny granuals along with water when I squeeze out any 500 ml tube acrylic colours. I every time store them in bag in my Almirah. The colours become like sedimentation.
Sounds like a classic case of cheap paint to me. That level of separation happens naturally with oils and watercolors, but with acrylics it's likely due to a poor binder used by the manufacturer. Again an acrylic gel would help you extend the paint, but without it, you're better of just buying some better/new paint for more serious pieces.
I don't have liquid which u have in India. I can right now use only water. Ur strokes were in criss cross manner and very quickly. But how to do which I couldn't understand. 2 I n my book it's written paint top of the sky using2 inch flat bristle with sky blue. now problem is u have to tell me how much dollops of cerulean+ Ultramarine blue and white to be added for sky which u showed in started one dollop of pressing tube or twice or how much. Reply me soon thanks Rims1
Rimu Malhotra It's your preference of blue for your sky blue....just mix both blues together try half in half, then add a bit of white to it slowly mixing the blues with it, you will see how much white you need to mix in it according to the lighting of the colour...to get the colour to grey down a bit,add a a tiny bit of burnt umber, just a smudge at a time. The more you mix your paints and experiment with it, the easier it will get for you. Search out other tutorials on you tube for mixing colours. I don't know if I'm allowed to answer your question, but I feel your frustration...been there.
You do NOT have to use two blues to paint a sky. You can just use the cobalt or the ultramarine. I blended my blues because that is my personal preference based on my color palette.
I knw I must be failure in painting because I have never painted the sky and made clouds. As a painting it is dark to light. But like mine canvas is already painted. And I need to paint sky again, should I paint white first and start with sky painting after white dries or directly pot new cloth. Reply me thanks rims1
I wish u could teach criss cross painting to me. At least as a learner would come to knw.if the paints of Acrylic kept for so many years of 500 ml and now I want to use but because of bubbles I can't use. Suggest how to bring back to what consistency it was?. Reply soon thanks rims1
Dear sir now what to do for if I don't have acrylic Liquitex basics for burnt umber. Because I am making tree branches on wall colour should have flow to paint. Pls suggest thanks rims1
I am asking u a landscape I am. Following of an artist given in book. Which is already traced and painted. But sky & clouds didn't turned out well. As u said one can always repaint over paint if I start with sky the rest traced will be hidden. So what to do? Thanks rims1
Honestly, that's a decision you just have to make on your own. You can try and paint over it if you want, or you can just use it as a learning experience for your next painting. Not every painting will be perfect, sometimes you just say "ok, I'll do better next time."
What is Liquitex in basic as u mentioned. Secondly when any teacher right for sky blue add more white as u move towards Horizon. What exactly this sentence. Which Paints r better the tubes like camlin Acrylic tubes which even kept for longer time in dark place to store like Almirah once old paint start having granules. Or the one u showed for titanium white in container r best. Reply me soon Thanks Rims1
Liquitex Basis are a brand of student grade acrylic. Not sure I understand your second question. Lastly paint that comes in a tube vs a jar is simply about volume. The same paint in the jar comes in a tube as well, it's not better there's just more of it and it's more cost effective for my to buy my white in a larger volume. If your paint is starting to thicken from not being used it's time to throw it away and buy new stuff. All acrylics paint tubes or otherwise will start to dry out or mold in about 20 years if they haven't been used.
@@cinderblockstudios thanks for the info..ohh I heard it on a tutorial channel Just goes to show just BC someones a great painter and can teach doesn't mean they know all the fundamentals..
Learning about color bias can be one of the most valuable things as a painter. Interestingly most of the Blues I use in my studio are warm Blues...but all colors have biases one way or the other, some just lean closer to one side or the other.
@@cinderblockstudios one quick question, can you learn what colour has what bias by the name of it or does one have to teach themself how to see for e.g. how much blue or yellow is in a red 🤔🍒
It is absolutely something that you should to learn see through experience. The easiest way to do that I feel is just to mix with different paint colors. The reason being that it is a little bit subjective depending on what other colors that you are mixing with. Although there is enough information online that you could probably find a color wheel that maps every common paint to get a better idea of where certain colors lean.
How to make pathalo blue because I don't it. And I need to blend for sky blue from lighter to darker. But I have ultramarine blue and navy blue. 2. As u say one can always paint over paint. If suppose I paint like urs then how to re trace the landscape because earlier it was plain white Canvas.3. How to get rid of blob or stippling of any colour in acrylic in tubes. It is I haven't use 500 ml colours 3 months. And may be because of it. Now how to use these colours smooth and nice
Ok, I've really been trying to help you out here, but I'm starting to get annoyed. I'm only going to say this one more time. YOU DON'T NEED TO USE EVERY COLOR I DO! USE WHAT YOU HAVE! I have repeatedly answered your questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. What you need the most right now is something called "mileage." In short...make paintings and learn from your mistakes. Paint a lot! Paint often! I can't teach you experience, you just have to figure these little things out on your own. I can't hold your hand through every painting you do. You have to make decisions on your own and teach yourself at a certain point. Don't paint exactly like me, paint the way that YOU want to paint. My tutorials are supposed to be guides, not step by step instructions.
Cinder Block Studios I understand where you're coming from...but not everyone catches onto colour mixing right away. I know I didn't although I kept watching tutorials from everyone who is on you tube, and kept asking questions...it takes time in learning the different blues, greens, etc. in mixing colours. I do like how you mixed these two blue colours together with white. Thank you.
How to paint the sky in criss cross manner . For shading? U r an artist so u painted quickly and merged beautifully. But since I am in learning process. If I need to make standstill river but not flowing, should I start with dark to light blue for shading or light to dark sky blue for.shading. 2 As I told u I am in learning process so how to merge colour because adding little by little water, can spread badly, if water colour is there it doesn't. And I am slow and it dries quickly if I use less water is there and doesn't merge. 3 help me out. Do let me know how much dollops of cerulean blue and Prussian blue with how much of white is added. To make light as well as dark. Do let me know thanks Rims1
I wouldn't start with blue for a river at all. I'd start with earth tones first. Even in a river standing still you don't get reflections like that. Once you lay down some base colors, build up your reflections one at at time. You can add a little acrylic glazing liquid if you would like to slow the drying time of your paint. Many artists do this, but I personally don't prefer it as it will make colors more transparent if you add to much. The best thing you can do as a beginner is just practice the method until you find the ratio that works for you. You can also step up your brush size if you would like, but you will be using a LOT more paint if you do that. Don't add white into blue, but mix the darker colors into the lighter ones. If you're doing a mixed blue like I did, mix it then slowly add that color into a pile of while. As little as you can at a time until you're happy with the mix.
Plastic palettes can't be cleaned if you let the acrylic dry into it, because acrylic is also a type of plastic. That's the biggest downside to using one.
Use water atomizer over your pallete, wait some minutes and then start to remove using a spatula. I always use a big piece of melamine as a pallette and I clean it from time to time when it is needed. I always do what I recommended you... Good luck!
Y are you hounding this bloke clearly looking at your surname you are the same person over and over again, get a life and move on and work some off it out for yourself, idiot
Dear Sir U r in abroad. There people have dollars. But in India currency is in Rs.For u Liquitex heavy body colours are nothing. But for us in India in Same heavy body acrylic liquitex colours are 1,346. Which is Costly. So how to buy? Reply soon Thanks Rims1
@@cinderblockstudios If you are going to provide tutorials then expect people to ask questions. Develop patience and don't be condescending to people who are trying to learn. You sound like a father scolding his son for not understanding an instruction given the first time. There are too many tutorials on RUclips to be put down like that.
@@paulakelly9244 This guy has been asking the same 5 questions over and over across multiple videos for the past 3 years. It's like a little kid asking "are we there yet" to a parent. Gets a little tiring after a while.
I asked u to specify how much ratio each of cerulean + ultramarine + titanium white is require to make sky blue at top of sky. I also asked u I am like a bigginers so guide me if I am slow in painting top sky and then how to merge colours as it dry very soon.
I'm only going to reply to this one, and I'll do my best here. I appreciate your enthusiasm, however spamming the comments doesn't make me answer any faster. I can't give you an "exact ratio" because art doesn't really work like that. It's not an exact science. If it was it wouldn't be called art anymore. If you watched the video you can see the "ratio" for yourself. Mix with your eye and when it looks like mine then it's ready. Just using water is fine, if that's what you're limited to. If it dries too quickly then you are likely painting too thin so just mix up a lot more paint. Using too little paint is a common beginner mistake, so don't feel so frustrated in that regard. Criss cross strokes are simple one method among many to paint the sky. You can easily use a larger brush if you have it, just note it will require much more paint to cover the brush and subsequently the canvas.
The blues are Cerulean Chromium and Prussian Hue, but that's just my personal preference. The brush sizes you just have to try to match by eye, the numbers on brushes vary between brand to brand. In the video I used the width as 3/4 inch or 2 cm
Dear sir I have 500 ml of Acrylic colour tubes which have not been used for 2 month. Now these colours have become grainy & not smooth as it should be. 2 how to use them as they r not from bottles which we can close lids and shake well to use them but r in tubes so how can we get smooth colour instead of grainy. Reply me soon. Thanks Rims1
If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you let your paint dry out a bit. Cheaper paints will thicken a little over time, but if you have blobs of dried paint there isn't much you can do. You can try adding a little glazing liquid, polymer medium, or matte gel to smooth out the paint, but if that doesn't work you'll probably have to buy new tubes. Make sure that you're lids are always on tight and store the paint in moderate temperatures. However even if the caps are secure, extremes of dry, hot, and cold are likely to ruin your paint pretty fast.
Good tutorial, but should have been a lot tight. There is a lot of empty talk which to me, was unnecessary. Had to watch it by fwrding 20 seconds at a time
There's a lot of little tips and pieces of advice that I can't account for in a script in a voice over. Not to mention the extra few hours it would take to edit the audio and sync it up at the right time.

Paint a lot! Paint often! I can't teach you experience, you just have to figure these little things out on your own. I can't hold your hand through every painting you do. You have to make decisions on your own and teach yourself at a certain point. Don't paint exactly like me, paint the way that YOU want to paint. My tutorials are supposed to be guides, not step by step instructions.

I understand where you're coming from...but not everyone catches onto colour mixing right away. I know I didn't although I kept watching tutorials from everyone who is on you tube, and kept asking questions...it takes time in learning the different blues, greens, etc. in mixing colours. I do like how you mixed these two blue colours together with white. Thank you.
How to paint the sky in criss cross manner .
For shading? U r an artist so u painted quickly and merged beautifully. But since I am in learning process. If I need to make standstill river but not flowing, should I start with dark to light blue for shading or light to dark sky blue for.shading.
2 As I told u I am in learning process so how to merge colour because adding little by little water, can spread badly, if water colour is there it doesn't. And I am slow and it dries quickly if I use less water is there and doesn't merge.
3 help me out. Do let me know how much dollops of cerulean blue and Prussian blue with how much of white is added. To make light as well as dark. Do let me know thanks Rims1
I wouldn't start with blue for a river at all. I'd start with earth tones first. Even in a river standing still you don't get reflections like that. Once you lay down some base colors, build up your reflections one at at time.
You can add a little acrylic glazing liquid if you would like to slow the drying time of your paint. Many artists do this, but I personally don't prefer it as it will make colors more transparent if you add to much. The best thing you can do as a beginner is just practice the method until you find the ratio that works for you. You can also step up your brush size if you would like, but you will be using a LOT more paint if you do that.
Don't add white into blue, but mix the darker colors into the lighter ones. If you're doing a mixed blue like I did, mix it then slowly add that color into a pile of while. As little as you can at a time until you're happy with the mix.
Dear sir
Can u suggest me some way to remove dried Acrylic stubborn stain in my plastic pallete
Plastic palettes can't be cleaned if you let the acrylic dry into it, because acrylic is also a type of plastic. That's the biggest downside to using one.
Use water atomizer over your pallete, wait some minutes and then start to remove using a spatula. I always use a big piece of melamine as a pallette and I clean it from time to time when it is needed. I always do what I recommended you... Good luck!
Y are you hounding this bloke clearly looking at your surname you are the same person over and over again, get a life and move on and work some off it out for yourself, idiot

Use whatever you can get your hands on.
How much drops sir. Sir pls let me know what exactly is Liquitex basics. Thanks rims1
Like I've told you many times before, you have to just do it by experience. I'm not going to know exactly how much water you're going to need.
@@cinderblockstudios If you are going to provide tutorials then expect people to ask questions. Develop patience and don't be condescending to people who are trying to learn. You sound like a father scolding his son for not understanding an instruction given the first time. There are too many tutorials on RUclips to be put down like that.
@@paulakelly9244 This guy has been asking the same 5 questions over and over across multiple videos for the past 3 years. It's like a little kid asking "are we there yet" to a parent. Gets a little tiring after a while.
I asked u to specify how much ratio each of cerulean + ultramarine + titanium white is require to make sky blue at top of sky. I also asked u I am like a bigginers so guide me if I am slow in painting top sky and then how to merge colours as it dry very soon.
I don't have liquified colour to merge. And as u said it becomes thin if more is added. Do reply to all my messages. Waiting for ur reply thanks Rims1
I'm only going to reply to this one, and I'll do my best here. I appreciate your enthusiasm, however spamming the comments doesn't make me answer any faster.
I can't give you an "exact ratio" because art doesn't really work like that. It's not an exact science. If it was it wouldn't be called art anymore. If you watched the video you can see the "ratio" for yourself. Mix with your eye and when it looks like mine then it's ready.
Just using water is fine, if that's what you're limited to. If it dries too quickly then you are likely painting too thin so just mix up a lot more paint. Using too little paint is a common beginner mistake, so don't feel so frustrated in that regard.
Criss cross strokes are simple one method among many to paint the sky. You can easily use a larger brush if you have it, just note it will require much more paint to cover the brush and subsequently the canvas.
You spoke a little too quickly for me. What are the blues you are using? What size flat brushes?
The blues are Cerulean Chromium and Prussian Hue, but that's just my personal preference. The brush sizes you just have to try to match by eye, the numbers on brushes vary between brand to brand. In the video I used the width as 3/4 inch or 2 cm

Dear sir I have 500 ml of Acrylic colour tubes which have not been used for 2 month. Now these colours have become grainy & not smooth as it should be.
2 how to use them as they r not from bottles which we can close lids and shake well to use them but r in tubes so how can we get smooth colour instead of grainy. Reply me soon. Thanks Rims1
If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you let your paint dry out a bit. Cheaper paints will thicken a little over time, but if you have blobs of dried paint there isn't much you can do. You can try adding a little glazing liquid, polymer medium, or matte gel to smooth out the paint, but if that doesn't work you'll probably have to buy new tubes. Make sure that you're lids are always on tight and store the paint in moderate temperatures. However even if the caps are secure, extremes of dry, hot, and cold are likely to ruin your paint pretty fast.
Good tutorial, but should have been a lot tight. There is a lot of empty talk which to me, was unnecessary. Had to watch it by fwrding 20 seconds at a time

Why not just do a voice over .-.
There's a lot of little tips and pieces of advice that I can't account for in a script in a voice over. Not to mention the extra few hours it would take to edit the audio and sync it up at the right time.
Fail ,fail again fail better
That's basically the way we all learn
