Saw a lot of tutorials and tips on how to paint clouds with watercolour last couple days and I found non of them to be as practical and with results as realistic looking as this video. Thank you!
This video was so informative and eye-opening the best I’ve seen on painting clouds I’ve been struggling but now I feel like I’ve seen a whole new way to do it keep up the good work
Your demonstrations and explanations are very helpful! You go over a lot of basic art ideas I haven't been exposed to but I have a much better understanding now next time I try clouds. Thanks Nina!
Awesome🤩😍😎🤩 best ever sky and delightfully discovered your tutorials!!! Can’t wait to get started on a stormy sky series your very talented as an artist and instructor, looking forward to more from you. California
Since yesterday I am obsessed with ur videos. They collect tremendous experience and taught and explained sooo well especially with demonstrations!! Love ur tutorials and live ur art❤️
On the tutorials in the beginning it must be that your paper is on a slope. The colors all seem to run down when wet. Thats a great idea when painting clouds. Thank you for this tutorial!
Thank you GJ! Yes, I always paint at an angle. When you paint watercolor flat it is hard to control whether it goes up down left or right. If it's a slope, I always know it will go down, the greater the slope the faster it runs.
Very interesting! Very good! I would like to ask which card must be used to have these effects! I use a 100% cotton and 300 gr paper. Is that enough or do you need a heavier card? Sometimes when I try to remove color with a dry brush, I cannot remove it because the color has already dried! Thanks and congratulations because she is very good!
300gsm is a good thickness for paper up to 1/4 sheet size. But brand of the paper also matters. I'd recommend Saunders Waterford. Also, if you want to lift the paint, don't wait until it's dry. If it's dry, wet it with clean water, wait while water absorbed, and then carefully lift. If you use cheaper paper (Amazon's for example) lifting might damage it. Another important thing, staining colours are much harder to wash out from any paper.
After doing the clouds when you start working in reflections the bottom part of paper would have dried. Do you wet that part again or you just work very fast so that the portion of sky and water remain wet?
If you do an initial "pre-wet" before painting and then do you fist wash, it actually stays wet for at least half an hour (you need good cotton paper). It's enough time to get clouds done and get to the reflection. But if it dries, you have 2 options: 1. Paint on dry and soften the edges with a damp clean brush; 2. Re-wet the paper with a large brush, and then paint on wet. Completely different approach is to paint only the sky, when it's completely done paint the water. Hope this helps.
Sometimes the clouds in my area are very pink. So pink with a Cerulean sky & so pretty its surreal. I always think I should paint them but so far have not. I thought it wouldn't be convincing enough.
So true! There are so many beautiful moments in nature....I always think if I paint this no one would believe me ☺️ but on the other maybe it's good when it looks unbelievable on paper, nowadays people seem to be more inclined to buy pieces like that.
Hi Tom, it depends what I want to achieve, pre wetting will extend the damp paper time but will illuminate the possibly of hard edges, but sometimes I need them. Here is an example where I pre-wet ruclips.net/video/j-J_ziyh5FE/видео.html Here is an example where I don't pre-wet ruclips.net/video/_oAVUC5gy2U/видео.html
Apologies, in theory, if you want soft edges it's best to paint wet on wet (do not dry first layer) if you want hard edges wet on dry (dry first layer). With clouds best to do wet on wet.

Lovely 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you! ☺️
большое спасибо
What ever you paint somewhere there will be a sky to match it
do you pre-wet your paper before the first wash for the sky?
Hi Tom, it depends what I want to achieve, pre wetting will extend the damp paper time but will illuminate the possibly of hard edges, but sometimes I need them. Here is an example where I pre-wet ruclips.net/video/j-J_ziyh5FE/видео.html Here is an example where I don't pre-wet ruclips.net/video/_oAVUC5gy2U/видео.html

Thanks
You forgot to mention whether to let the first layer dry or not.
Apologies, in theory, if you want soft edges it's best to paint wet on wet (do not dry first layer) if you want hard edges wet on dry (dry first layer). With clouds best to do wet on wet.

Thanks Vicki!
Clouds are like the hardest thing for me😂😭😂😭
I know, right...they always have the mind of their own🤦
I believe your reflection clouds are upside down
Nothing has to be perfect :) that's the beauty of art!
