About the Artist
did you use a reference?
+Destiny Zumwalt You're welcome... Painting without reference will help us use our imagination... Thanks for watching my videos...:)
+John magne Lisondra (JMLisondra) wow that's really cool, I'm learning how to paint and I always have to have a reference. but not having one is my serious painting goal. Thank you you for the video it really helped out a lot.
+Destiny Zumwalt No, I don't have.
cool mn pote
THANK YOU
+modlovecat you're welcome
Do you wait until the sk is dry before painting the clouds or do you do them wet?
+Mark Mecca Yes, I waited it to dry before painting...
I'm still a beginner, I can paint alot of things by now, but painting clouds (even after watching a tutorial) make zero sense to me.
It always looks easy when someone else does it, but no matter how many times I try, the outcome is always bad.
+Sm0k4bl3 yah so do more...
John magne Lisondra You're right, it looks alot better now than it did before, I'll just have to keep working on it.
+Sm0k4bl3 I don't know how many times I tried to create the clouds like the one on video. but one thing I did before was not to give up.. I tried it everyday until I made it better...
I love it so much thank you
+evelyne sakr You're welcome..
Your paintings are a great help. Thankyou.
+Philip Wright You're welcome sir.
Going to have to try this one, thanks for the demo, loved it.
+lindyyonts2 You're welcome... Yes sure! that would be great! Thank you.
Cardboard you're using looks wet when beginning. Is it?
you're welcome sir...
+John magne Lisondra (JMLisondra) Thank you John, I'm learning a lot.
+Donald Sherbondy Yup! but not wet.. I used glossy white latex paint for the primer...
Pfff, tried to paint this painting like 4 times now. Stil cannot get the hang of it 🙁
You're welcome Jan. That's a good idea... You can practice on any type of paper as long as you can paint on it. Just keep doing it and always be positive. Progress is on your way... 🙂
Thank you, John magne Lisondra, for this insightful response. Switched to exercise painting clouds on random A4 cardboard (groundcoated with binder), instead on my actual painting project, which I must postpone until some technique progress has been made. It's relaxing to hear too, cloud painting is not that easy (medium), so the obstacle here must not be solely in my own unhandiness 🙂
You're not alone. I've been there... It was actually hard painting clouds.. My clouds before was like a group of round gray stones. Really disappointing and I hated myself during that time... I classify it as medium in difficulty level... First It's all in brush practice... The right execution will only be learned through series of practice and experience.. So my advice if you feel stress in painting it, leave it and find some other subject like painting the mountains and other things... Then if you are ready to do it again, then you can continue. Don't force yourself. It is still the best way to paint when you are relaxed.
On my next videos I will post easy kind of clouds like cirrus clouds.. thus that requires only color white to paint... That might help also in understanding its basic forms...
I'm beginner and also lost with painting clouds. First, they looked like potatoes... Making very slow progress. Question: Is cloud painting indeed such a hard thing to do, even for advanced painters? If easy = blue, medium = red, hard = black; how would you classify its difficulty? Would be helpful to know on what nature of problem (objectively) I'm sitting at, with these clouds. Great Video Tutorial, anyway 🙂
Thank you! I will keep trying 😀 some day I will get it. Thank you for the awesome video
Not real speech..? Really?
sorry, I didnt mean to insult you.. what i ment was that the videos are fantastic & interesting , would be way better with properly recorded voice..
+Apaleytos Agnostopoulos Yes. Its recorded voice over.
You kinda sounds like robot,or are you???
xDD
its a computer voice over...
Beautiful .. Just one question .. can I used mars black or carbon black instead of lamb black?, I would like to follow this sky tutorial for my painting but don't have lamb black. Thank you for sharing.
yes po... you can use any kind of black.. kasi di nman masyadong dark ang kailangan dito... you're welcome po...
Wow
Those are the best clouds I have ever seen. Amazing job!
+TheDeceptikron Yes lamp black.
+John magne Lisondra (JMLisondra) Bro, do you mean Lamp Black?
