Doesn't matter if someone watches this 1000 times, they won't be able to create what you do. Did you let it dry overnight several times, or just paint wet on wet the whole way? Amazing and so appreciative to get to watch you, Jan!
Lmao! This guy's great, don't get me wrong. But he's not a super human experiment, he's a regular man who has honed his skills. Of course others can replicate this, it's why he's taking the time for teaching. I believe anyone can be an artist, if they are willing to invest years of their life to learn and harbour dedication and love for the craft. Not trying to undermine this artist. Just as an artist myself I get very tired of the "oohh what talent! I could never!" Because it implies that myself or any other artist can just do it naturally without any effort, when the reality is we commit a great deal of effort and our time on Earth to learning how. Hope I articulated that well. Peace.
@@woadblue I agree. Putting in the hours is crucial. I'm not saying that talent doesn't play a role, but without the many hours of trial and error it won't come to life.

this is amazing! and i love the peaceful little transition scenes you do throughout the tutorial (like showing the ball, and your cat) it really reminds me to take it easy, do things step by step & take a break. thanks a lot for this video!
Marvelous artwork. i always feel so happy to see blue skies. always remember that pink floyd song "Goodbye Blue Sky" and same time be grateful to still be able to see a blue sky. in the future it will be harder i think.
I have appreicted and enjoyed your more active postings and emails. I'm sure it's a challange to break the creative cycle and be more attentive to administrative tasks. BUT- your sharings inspire and inform us so thank you very much.
Thanks, Michael. Good to hear you enjoy my videos. You're absolutely right about the administrative tasks. They're not my favorite, but what can you do. Love doing the RUclips videos though.
Thank you for your masterclass of how to paint magnificent clouds. Your technique's to paint sunlight through fluffy clouds using different blue values is super-impressive. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for demonstrating these types of clouds. Last summer I enjoyed watching the clouds in the evening and some evenings there would be the clouds that would be backlit and I did wonder what would be the best approach at painting them. They are very beautiful and you have definitely captured all of their glory. Very nice and soothing touch to show your fluffy ones as well. Stay safe and I am looking forward to seeing more. Your friend from Southeast Michigan! :)

Hi Jan thank you for sharing your knowledge...i paint using acrylics so i am going to try my version of this video...smaller i might add...i dont have room for such a large canvas...love your channel keep up the amazing work,you are an incredible artist my friend

Great fun to watch. I suggest you are Dutch?. ... To people from other country,s more south , and inland , : the Netherlands has its western , and northern side by the northsea During fall, we can smell the polar airflow coming, and with that , a significant change in atmosphere , in just 2 month , causes cloud formations to be absolutely pure and a never ending pleasure to watch This time of the year , some days have 3 types of clouds at the same time. The fire dawn, macrel skys, purple sunsets. Many good painters come from the netherlands. Just some fun fact ❤
You're right Ronny, I'm Dutch. And I totally agree with your description of the Dutch skies in autumn, they're phenomenal, especially when those endless rows of clouds come rolling in from the north-west.

I learned so, so much from you, and I love having the opportunity to study from you even though I’m so far away. I know how great you are in teaching it, please continue. I honor you, even if we never met, I know you. As far as your ability to express yourself. , It sounds creepy. Sorry for that. But you put your soul out, I too. Not so much. I’m sorry about the war. It’s beyond my comprehension in my life. I wish only love and peace. But how safe we feel, if we are not being in it. The war feels far away, The guilt is still felt . I feel it. But the world is getting smaller and we all want the same protections, so it can only get even smaller. How small can it get?
Thanks, Janie. I'm really pleased my tutorials have been helpful! I will continue to post new videos. We all look in horror at the present events. May they end soon.
Amazing, loving your whole process keep coming with such tutorials❤ kindly tell me what kind of a surface is this you are painting, canvas? thn how u r able to blend by thumb bcx acrylics get smuged.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about painting clouds. You mentioned that you paint on a flat surface and suggest that you don't paint on a canvas. May I ask, what surface do you paint on?
Thank you for your kind words, Karen. I work on 6 mm MDF board. Wrote a short article about it on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2015/01/canvas-or-board.html. Hope this helps!
I used a mix of Brilliant Yellow (an Old Holland color) and Vermillion Red (Rembrandt).In a later stage I darkened it with a little Sepia and Indigo, both Rembrandt colors.
To be honest, I don't have a specific brand of stipple brush. I buy mine at the local hardware store. Here in Holland their normal use is for painting doors and window panes. In my experience they shed bristle mostly in the beginning. I have a special (old) fan brush to pick up hairs from the wet paint surface. Patience...
Nee, dat wil zeggen dat ik wel meer filmmateriaal heb, maar op het moment kies ik voor de korte RUclipsfilmpjes. Het maken van een lange video is nogal bewerkelijk...
To be honest, I never worked on Ampersand gessoboard. I understand the board is not completely smooth. I like my boards really smooth. My advice would be to just try it.
I use Transparent White (Royal Talens) mixed with just a hint of another color. If you're interested in the colors I use, send me an email (info@janhendrikdolsma.nl) and I will sen you my list of colors, brands & brushes.
I work with oils, they stay wet a lot longer than for example acrylics. I wrote an article about it on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2016/08/oils-and-acrylics.html.

Sometimes the same color of one brand differs considerably from that of another, but fortunately that's not the case with Vermillion Red. You can buy it from almost any brand and it will be just about the same color.
@@PaintingSkies1 So it is Oil We would like to see a complete tutorial one day step by step as we appreciate your technique and style.

Are they made from acrylic or oil
It's oils. I added it to the video description. Thanks!

Yes. I sometimes do an underpainting with acrylics, but that's quite rare to be honest.

How does your paint stay wet for so long?

Is it acrylic paint?
No sir, it's oil paint. I never was any good at acrylics.
Is that acrylic?
No, it's oils. Nevertheless, the tips remain the same for acrylics.

Thanks, Sandra!
I assume that you are working with acrylics??
No, I'm working with oils. Should've been more clear about that...
You shound just like Christopher Walken

Sometimes the same color of one brand differs considerably from that of another, but fortunately that's not the case with Vermillion Red. You can buy it from almost any brand and it will be just about the same color.

Not quite sure what this emoji means, surprise, fright?
I guess it's not oil as I kept noticing you touching the canvas 😂
I use a fast drying medium (Liquin Light Gel, a Winsor & Newton brand) that allows me to resume painting the next day.
