Amazing work love the water bottle technique I’m going too try this method out and hope I can make sky look look like yours so much more realistic than my efforts thank you great tutorial
A very good technique for getting natural looking clouds and sky. The sky would have been perfect, in my humble opinion, if you had not used the granulating Ultramarine blue which gave the appearance of a sky in an old crackled oil painting. But I am grateful that you shared this technique, because I cannot wait to try it with a non-granulating blue. I think it is one of the best techniques I have ever seen for achieving a beautiful and natural looking sky.
Thank you! That was a lovely little, straight forward demo. I LOVE granulation and Ultramarine is one of my favourites for that reason, and in the cloud parts of the painting it looks amazing but I think I would use a non-granulating blue for the sky for a bit more intensity. I live in Australia so the skies are pretty damn intense 😆. Going down to the studio right now to try this method out but am going to use Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna (also my staple for good greys) but then the Cerulean for the blue. Anyhoo, thanks again. I loved this easy demo. All the best from Australia! 😎
Love this technique. Watching the watercolour do what it does is magical . I just found you and subscribed as well. Thank you for showing this wonderful technique.
That’s outstanding! I struggle with skies and this looks like a brilliant way to make them interesting. I own a spray bottle but it’s the fine mist type, I can’t see the type you are using anywhere. I guess one with an adjustable nozzle might give heavier droplets? 🤔 Thanks for sharing and posting this.
I really enjoyed watching your technique! I need to get braver and use the spray bottle. I like how you use droplets instead of misting. I'm going to steal your idea! Hope that's ok!
Hello, this is Steve Krueger. The artist ultramarine blue will granulate like that if you don’t want granulation, try cerulean blue. Have fun painting.
@@stevekruegerwatercolor Oh thank you so much for you reply ha ha....I thought it was a particular brand of paint that made the beautiful effect. Many thanks x
@@stevekruegerwatercolorCerulean Blue is granulating if it uses PB35, which is true Cerulean and quite expensive but a lot of manufacturers make a version with PB15 which is Pthalo Blue (much cheaper) which doesn’t granulate, it does stain the paper though making it more difficult to lift with tissue.
Thank you a 67 year old learning to water color. Nice clouds work. I appreciated your technique.
What a GREAT video! So easy to follow. Thank you for sharing. 🤩
You are so welcome!
Another oldie here. Love the clouds.
Love it, thank you for teaching 😊
You are so welcome!
The granulation is beautiful.
Beautiful way to capture the chaos of clouds. I’m a beginning watercolor student and look forward to trying this technique. Thanks for sharing!
Wow,interesting and wonderful. Watching from India. 🇮🇳
Beautiful sky 👏👏👏 Your style of painting the sky is pretty unique and stress-free too.
Thank you so much 😀
I love this, and the delightful folksy way you explain everything - matter of factly, like a DIY gardening class.
Thank you, I try to make it simple and easy to follow.
Steve, would you consider expanding on this and showing how to do water below those beautiful clouds???
Thank you so much for sharing this video. It’s inspiring me to practice skies again.

Been struggling to get this effect. Thank you for generous guidance. Would love similar for mountain scene of Heather landscape.
Great suggestion!

Vraiment très belle technique pour un résultat si naturel … je vous suis depuis le sud de la France
Merci beaucoup 😊
Wow, lovely. I wonder if you could get this effect using acrylic paint ?
I really enjoyed watching your technique! I need to get braver and use the spray bottle. I like how you use droplets instead of misting. I'm going to steal your idea! Hope that's ok!
You are so welcome!
Wonderful clouds! So soft and realistic. Did you use stretched cotton?
Wairing for more, please.
@@MiadeFleur take a look at how Charlie Evans does it 👍
Beautiful! I wonder how many times I'd turn it into mud before I got one good one? lol
Practice on an expensive paper practice practice practice have fun
Did you use granulating paints?
Why doesnt this show up on your channel..??? It shows about 5 videos only!!
Very nice, do you use 100% cotton paper? Or what brand ?
I don't I used cheap Joe’s Kilimanjaro, 140 pound watercolor paper
Thx for posting … very interesting… I might add that IMO, the spray bottle has to produce a very fine mist
Ok so how is your paper not rolling up like a treasure map, even when un taped and soaked?
I was using hot pressed Strathmore paper. It doesn’t seem to buckle as much.
That sky is very pixulated
Does anyone know how to get granulation like that please? I don't think the artist will reply so throwing this open. Thanks xx
The type of paint you use
@@natasharossiter3754 sorry, that's not very helpful but thanks

I've never seen such a palaver
Do you mean it's unnecessarily complicated, or complex?
Lovely sky!
