    Nice ! I'm 57... trying watercolors for the first time. Here in Normandy our skies gave hedeaches to painters since the middle ages... the light is very particular, specially in the fall, the collors are pastel rose, light blue, light orange with beautifull shapes and mixes. I'm trying to learn how to attempt to reproduce them in watercolor but is a long road, every famous French painter gave it a try al all of them had a hard time conveing the reality this unique sky. Your video is very useful, I'll come back and check out the rest. Best regards.

      Oh my! I MUST see those Normandy skies some day! No painting will ever completely capture the magnificence of reality, but we artists will never stop trying. :)

  • @mchew370
    @mchew370 Год назад +1

    I have recently been following your channel and love your tutorials. For much larger paintings for painting clouds, do you use a Size 10 or Size 12 brush? Also, if there are grey clouds in the reference photo as well as blue clouds, what paint do you recommend we use to paint the grey clouds? In such a case, do we paint the grey clouds first and then the blue clouds or the other way around?

    • @EmilyOlsonArt
      @EmilyOlsonArt  Год назад

      Yes I do! Usually a 12 round. And for the dark shadows on the clouds, I usually mix some burnt sienna with the blue sky color I’m using, or I’ll mix some quin Rose with it if the shadows are more purple. You can paint them at the same time as the blue, just side by side.

    She says "You can paint loosely and expressively here, but .. check the accuracy of your values" while casually adding the shape, shadow and feeling of the clouds.. something that I find impossible. With a few strokes with a wet brush, she makes the clouds look real and three dimensional. This is where the artistry comes in. I'm not sure it can be taught.. but I am becoming pretty sure that I can't learn it even if it can.

      When you go to an art store, if you go into the paper section, the covers of the booklets should say the type of paint it is best for. There are two main types of watercolour paper that I’ve heard of; cold pressed and hard pressed. And mixed media paper is also fine.
