I watch your painting video’s over and over , trying soak in all that I can . Your painting’s are so beautiful and I am so glad I found you !
Thanks, Kathleen, that's greta to hear!
So happy to see your post today! I've been impatiently waiting for your new release! As always, your work and tutorials/documentaries are so inspiring. I'll, of course, be heading over to your site to purchase the new lesson. Great work to your production team again as well!
I love this new version of your tutorial with little glimpses of your personal life. I had always imagined you sitting down for hours. Beautiful work, as always.
Thanks Jamie. Glad you enjoyed the more personal footage. Painting is such an intricate part of my personal life that it would be silly to totally leave it out.
Awesome! Thank you sir. You impart knowledge of both art and life in even the short samples. So much from so little.
Thanks, Clod. That's almost to much praise... Really enjoy what I'm doing and it's great to hear other people do too.
I just purchased the full-length tutorial. It is fabulous and very reasonably priced. i've made a good start on my painting and so far, my clouds are so much better than anything i've done in the past. I'm so pleased and will definitely purchase more. Thank you so much, Janhendrik! You are very generous and inspiring!
Thanks Michelle. So pleased to hear my videos have been helpful!
I love the way you work, cool and relaxed yet dynamic...
Thank you so much, Magnus, for your wonderful comment. Cool and dynamic, yet relaxed, it doesn't get better than that!
Those clouds are just perfect. But I think we can all agree that Alfons is the real highlight of this video 😉👍
He sure is, or rather was... He has a successor though. Check the trailer for my painting waves video!
Dear Mr. Grey, in response to your question about the Corot painting: I think Corot first painted the color of the shadow on the entire surface of the building and added the highlights after this layer was dry.
Thank you so much, for sharing your wonderful talent with us
You're welcome, David. It's privilege.
Love your paintings! You inspire me with your talents 🙌🏻
That's great to hear, Laura. Thanks!
I love so much your painting!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 I'm in love painting landscapes, seascapes and clouds!!!!!😍😍😍

Thank you, Jon. My pleasure!
Stunning work Mr Dolsma, you have an exceptional talent. Thank you for sharing it with us
Thank you for sharing, your work is stunning. As an artist myself I strive for your level of detail and have inspired me to try oil again. I wish I could take classes in person from you. Many Blessings
Thank you, Lisa. Good to hear you picked up oil again. I think you'll like it. If you have any questions, please mail me at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl.

Thank you! If it works, it works. Don't always have to know how...
Hey!
It's not a bad idea to research why we percieve it like that (The light/shadow contrast in clouds).
Great work, by the way. Very few people can paint clouds like you.
Greetings from Norway

Very nice. I think you are the Dutch Turner of this era. I would like to take up oil painting one day.

Hi Adina, unfortunately Alphone passed away a couple of weeks ago at the age of 15. Miss him.
Amazing

Thanks, Patricia, love the cat too. Unfortunately it passed a few years ago. The good news is, we got 2 wonderful new cats!

@@PaintingSkies1 Obrigada por responder. Vou da uma olhada. Mais uma vez obrigada.
Awesome 💕 🤗 fantastic
Thank you, Ladybug!
Hello Janhendrik,
Love your artwork my friend.
You had mentioned in the beginning that you like laying on a thicker layer of paint but it leaves brush strokes when you do it.
I found a product that will eliminate them for you. If your using oils you use a product called penetrol. We use this when we are painting interior doors and crown moldings. It leaves a beautiful finish like it was sprayed . No brush strokes at all. Now if you're using acrylics you can also buy a product called floetrol. Does the same thing as the penetrol. I use them both. It gets amazing results when you are trying to get that beautiful glassy look to the waters surface as it comes onto the beach or on a calm pond surface..
Ok then! Give them a try.. I think you'll find it a great medium to add with your paints..I buy mine at the paint stores for house painting or at your local hardware stores that carry painting supplies..
Good luck, and thanks for sharing your artwork and techniques with us.. 😎✌🌞🌻
Thanks for the advice, Tom. I googled penetrol and it's probably a perfectly good product, but I read that it must not get in contact with your skin and you need gloves and protective glasses to use it. I'm afraid that won't work for me...
I love clouds so much....i need to improve them and give em justice
Ps. Your cat is beautiful
You're absolutely right, clouds are fascinating. If you want to find out more about my technique, please go to www.paintingskies.com/video. Thanks!
I just purchased one of your tutorials, thank you for the inspiration, awesome work. Could you please tell me what painting surface you are using and it’s preparation. It could be a good RUclips video for you? Looking forward to my next tutorial. Thanks again and all the best from Colorful Colorado
Thanks JW! I wrote an article about the surface I paint on: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2015/01/canvas-or-board.html. Hope it answers your questions. If not, please send me an email at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl.
Wonderful and life like painting. Would be most grateful if you could allow a download of a shorter version like the one you have for painting the sunset. That was most instructive. Thank you so much anyway. You also have an adorable tabby cat.
Thank you for your kind words. If you want to download the full length video of Painting Storm Clouds, please go to www.paintingskies.com/video. I'll pass on the compliments to my cat.
♥♥♥Bravo!!!VERY NICE!!!
Thanks!
Brilliant!!! I normally use gouache but I'm trying oils out with liquin on a 14x18 panel. Can you give me any tips on how to outline clouds and the color layer process??? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
Thanks! In my full length video Painting Clouds by Layering I answer all your questions. Download at www.paintingskies.com/video. The trailer on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/XWfTJE8mT6A/видео.html. Hope this helps!
Hi, that's a beautiful paintig! If you please tell me what colors do you mix for the dark waters of the ocean? Thanks!
Good to hear you like it. In this painting I used Indigo, mixed with a little Naples yellow. Please note that colors with the same name, but from different brands, can be quite different. The Indigo I use is from Royal Talens. If you want to find out more about this painting, you can download the full length tutorial at www.paintingskies.com/video.
Me gustan mucho sus cuadros de cielos cálidos calmados tranquilos de un tenue sol . Soy Mexicana no se ingles pero con ver es más que suficiente Maestro .
¡Gracias por tu maravilloso cumplido, Isa!
love your paintings. do you paint wet on wet? thank you.
Thank you, Bea! I sometimes paint wet on wet, though not very often. For instance when I want the brush strokes to dissolve in the background. I use a badger hair fan brush to smooth them out.
Wooow...👍
Thanks!!
Great job👍
Thanks, Patrick!
@@PaintingSkies1
You are very welcome👍👍
I live in Holland for the next year. Do you ever give or do in person painting lessons?
I'm sorry, I stopped teaching classes a long time ago. You'll have to make do with my tutorials (www.paintingskies.com/video). Hope you enjoy your stay in Holland!
Great painting. I have to start painting clouds and it is intimidating to say the least. Do I start with the dark colors first or with the lighter?
Thanks, Fleming. You start with the mid tones and slowly build up the darker and the lighter tones from there. If you want to know exactly how it's done, you can download the full length tutorial at www.paintingskies.com/video.
@@PaintingSkies1 Dear Janhendrik. I bought your video on painting clouds and found it very informative. I paint with egg tempera and it's somewhat a different challenge as it is not as pliable as the oil ( I assume it is oil you are using) Egg tempera dries very fast and I still have to figure out how to do do the blending with this medium. I have so far only painted Icons and a couple of landscapes. If I don't hear from you before, then I wish you a nice Christmas and a healthy new year. Warm regards : Flemming
@@FlemmingBehrend Thanks for buying my Painting Clouds video. Good to hear you found it to be informative. I have very little experience in painting in egg tempera. Like you write, it dries fast, which makes it hard to do the smooth gradients that are crucial in my work. You could use egg tempera as underpainting for oils, though. If you have specific questions you can mail me at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl.
I’m only here for the cats
I'll pass the message.
i didnt get How to paint storm clouds ! but you are amazing
I'm sorry to hear that, Cyrus. Could you please send me your email address at info@ janhendrikdolsma and I'll send you the link. BTW, thanks for the compliment!
Sorry, my full email address is info@ janhendrikdolsma.nl.
Janhendrik Dolsma thank you Jan

Здорово получилось
Спасибо! очень любезно с вашей стороны!
I like
Thanks, Nicodemus!
Awesome work Jan. What was the first blue colour called that you put on at the start of the video. I can't find that colour anywhere? Cheers.
Hi Bobby, I'm a bit embarassed. Checked the video and heard myself say that the first blue colour I use is Royal Blue light. I can imagine you couldn't find it. The actual name of the colour is Kings Blue light... My sincere apologies. If you mail me at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl I will send you the full list of clouds and brands I use!
@@PaintingSkies1 thanks for the reply. I was finding the cobalt teal and pthalo blue too dark for what I wanted. Saw your video and that sky colour blew me away! I'll drop you an email when I get the chance. Cheers Jan. Your work is truly inspirational.
Just to check Jan. The colour I was talking about is about 40 seconds in, the bright turquoise blue you first put down.
If you're learning and want too paint realistic storm clouds my suggestion would be to go outside, observe and paint what you see. particularly if you happen to be in Holland which has the most dramatic skies on the planet.
I agree, Alberta, going outside and observing is the way to learn to paint clouds. Done that a lot and (since I live in Holland) got wet in the process as well.
Beautiful!!😃💕
Thank you!
I love the trailer and went a head a purchased the full tutorial. However, to my disappointment, the video didn't complete it's download and now I can't seem to find it to try to download it to my computer. I'm hope that Mr. Dosma will be able to help me out.
Sorry for the inconvenience, Susan. I resent the download link to our email address. Hope it works this time.
Thank you for your quick response. I look forward to painting using your tutorials. @@PaintingSkies1
Love the music and the painting skill. Any excellent artist has a feline apprentice?
Thank you, I will pass your compliment on to the composer. I'm not sure about the answer to your question, but I had cats most of my life. Aphonse (the cat in this video) passed away a couple of years ago. We now have a new cat. She's in my latest video Painting Waves. For the RUclips trailer, please go to: ruclips.net/video/WjJmIixBH1g/видео.html.
Is this oil or acrylic?...i couldn't hear what was said..i think maybe acrylic?
It's oil!
you have probably been busy. nonetheless, good to see more of your videos.
Thanks Sabi. Yes, I have been busy, a little busier than I anticipated. That's why it took a little longer than planned. Hope it was worth waiting for!
Awesome hello from u s
Thanks, Drummerman, hello back to you from Holland!
Dankjewel ik ga je website bekijken.
Laat me weten wat je er van vindt. Als e vragen hebt: info@janhendrikdolsma.nl
Cat :- "that's enough painting , time for you to pet me now " prrrrrrrrr
Yeah, exactly...
What size is the canvas
70 x 120 cm.
👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
I can't find a source for your reservoir brush here in the US - where are you getting these ? Also - What kind of wood panel do you work on & how do you prep . If you prefer - reference me to one of your 1 hour videos , since I plan to order . Thanks .
forget the prep part - I found your blog reply below .
I get them at my local retailer. They're ceramic brushes actually. Found one web shop where they sell them: www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/jackson-s-red-sable-reservoir-brush-series-91r-size-1. Hope this helps.
Okay, thanks.
How much does a painting like that cost?
Thanks for your interest, Pietro. if you send me an email with your question at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl, I will gladly give you the price of the painting!
7 days? Wow! That’s a two day painting
Hi Jacob. Not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean that this painting could be done in two days?
çok güzel👍👍
İltifat için teşekkürler!
❤️❤️🙂😊👌
Thanks!
Really beautiful and fantastic!. I am really impressed and learnt a lot. #Masoodartgalley
Thank you. So good to hear!
Every artist must have a cat tohelp.
You're so right, Jeanette!
🌹
:))
I laughed at loud when you said haven't a clue 😂 why the light from one bulge reflects ans you don't really care lol
Just recently a geography teacher explained to me why some clouds have a flat underside (it has something to do with different temperatures in different layers). Interesting stuff, but on the other hand: I've been painting this phenomenon for years without knowing...
Looks just like my sheva looked
I googled Sheva, but couldn't find a conclusive answer. Could you explain?
Great painting and amazing clouds, but you never really said how to paint them ???
You're absolutely right, I shoot Nikon! But as you may have noticed the title of the clip is 'Painting Storm Clouds (the trailer)'. In the full length video (just over 60 min.) I explain in detail how I did the painting. You can download it at www.paintngskies.com/video.
Got no idea how u paint but c everything but posting lesson
Thank you for your comment. If you want to find out how I did this painting, please go to www.paintingskies.com/video and download the 60 min. version of the tutorial. Thanks in advance!
